This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the self-titled album by Guttt Control from Flint, Michigan on GrayT Records (GrayT Entertainment), Lick-A-Wish Productions, and Guttt-A-Listic Productions. This album/EP was released in 1996. (Some sources say 1994.) Guttt Control is Tony Demoun, Blue Ballz, and Eddie Starborn. Guttt Control was a sexually explicit, hardcore, old school hip-hop group out of Flint in the mid 1990s. Think old school rap and party rap like Kid N Play, DFC, X-Clan or Boogie Down Productions!
Guttt Control released 2 EPs then vanished for some weird reason as every other rap group in Flint at that time with the exceptions of DFC, The Dayton Family, The Next Level Clique, and Top Authority.
Gutttro is the intro to Blue Ballz and Biggie Smalls, which is Blue Ballz solo track. (No references to Notorious B.I.G.!) This track is just a freestyle track with mild sexual references which are still wild. It samples More Bounce To The Ounce by Zapp. The low heavy bass reminds me of On My Hook Up by BODK.
Project Hoes is dedicated to all dem hoes in the projects in Flint and around the city. They're talking about ratchet hoodrat females too. Almost every neighborhood has them. This is dedicated to Civic Park, King Hood, Merrill Hood, Selby Hood, Beecher, Mt. Morris, Grand Blanc, Dayton Ave., Rooke St., Saginaw Street, King Hood, Eastside Flint, Burton, Begole Homes, Downtown Flint, Central Flint, and all the other hoods as well.
Sugar Daddy is about men who offer relationships to younger women after establishing a relationship that is very sexually active. The relationship is sexual. Sugar Daddy reminds me of a late night creep. This track is similar to the TLC song called Creep. It has that 1994 hip hop sound to it. The vocals are deep and on point.
Lil Man On Da Boat is about riding solo and being single. It's about that single life. The helicopter chopper in the intro using the fade in and fade out sound effect is quite different if I might add. Bone In The Bag was a track that appeared on the Melvin Riley solo album called Ghetto Luv. Bone In The Bag is an ode to using condoms. Similar to UTFO - Bone It and Bag It.
While this cassette too short to be an album, it was still a stellar superb EP! I really enjoyed the experience of listening to this cassette EP. Guttt Control was more of a sexual hardcore version of an old school hip-hop group. The sexual sound was a lot different in regards to the sound that was coming out of Flint at that time in the 90s. That's why I really liked it.
I rate this album 5/5*****!
