This is Michael Mixerr. Tonight I will re-review G.A.N. - A Handfull of GAN do this rap group being overlooked in the Detroit music scene. G.A.N. is Ghetto Azz Niggaz for those who don't know. G.A.N. has members from both Detroit and Flint. G.A.N. is members Duanne "Nutty One" Harris, Donell "O.G. Trouble L.O.C." Britten, Reuce Deuce, and Octum Bell. The producers are J.T. and Frank G!
A gangsta rap meets Motown soul type of sound is prevalent when you listen to this cassette. Think Rap/Soul. With that said I'll move on with the album review.
Wayy Down Deep is a soulful late night slow jam in lo-fi low quality. The volume setting for this track is way low for some reason. In Detroit is where the gangstas creep. Straight from the hood. Where dudes get killed for steeping on someones fucking feet. This song will take your soul way down deep. It will take you way down deep. Not too sure what the exact samples used in this song are along with the instrumental. So I can't really comment on that. All I do know is that Wayy Down Deep samples a soul song. Reuce Deuce does a good job rapping on here.
From The Pain is a track about wanting to escape away from all the pain. It's really about getting away from all the pain the life brings that comes with life's treasures also. Life can be full of pain and pleasure. Choose your own goals and make your own choices wisely. Away From The Pain reminds me of Take Me Away From The Pain. It will remind you of that song too.
Detroit Keeps Rollin' "94" was the Detroit Anthem for the year 1994. Every hood and ghetto in the Detroit Metropolitan area was playing this song in their cars at stoplights everywhere in Detroit way back in 1994.
G.A.N. was criminally overlooked back in the 90s and 2000s. When you listen to GAN, you can feel the gritty, hardcore street sounds of Dayton Family, DOA, DFC, and Top Authority from the '90s-era. The tracks range from club tracks to cautionary tales of the evil wicked streets. Think mellow reality rap. Pure ghetto funk as OG Trouble Loc put it.
I rate this album, A Handfull of GAN, 4/5****.
