Mixerr Album Reviews #586

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I am going to review DJ Clay & The BRP - We Can Do This! The “We Can Do This!” album was released as a compilation album on Boomin’ Records Inc. in 1992 from Flint, Michigan.
DJ Clay served as the executive producer for this compilation album. The BRP is The Boomin’ Records Posse. Which is DJ Clay, C-Lo D (Carlito 810), T-Smoove, MC Mc, and Chris Miller along with others as well. T-Smoove provides us some solo tracks as well.

We Can Do This! is the title track and posse cut of this compilation album right here. It features DJ Clay, C-Lo D (Carlito 810), and T-Smoove, along with others as well. DJ Clay and T-Smoove produced the track We Can Do This!.

Move Yo Butt! was a local dance rap track was recorded by local Flint rap artist MC Mc and DJ Clay. This song was released on as a vinyl single in 1991 which was the first release from Boomin’ Records. This track right here got play in local underground clubs and in the music scene. The responses were becoming lukewarm though.

Black Male is still a relevant track in today's society especially with all the protesters in Ferguson over the Ferguson shooting and the recent Eric Garner killing by NYPD after the police officers put him in a chokehold. Black men do have it hard here when dealing with police encounters here in the United States. Police encounters can often turn out to be very dangerous and very deadly because if you attempt to reach for you pocket to show proof of identification, they will automatically shoot and kill you. The police encounters are very deadly often these days.

Somethin Funky is a funk dope track for you to listen to. DJ Clay and C-Lo D drop something funky to listen to. Whether you in your ride or at the club. Drop The Microphone should have been a single with Somethin Funky. Another Jack Move is a gangsta rap track filled with old school flava. Another Jack Move was recorded by C-Lo in the year of 1992. How It Should Be Done is another posse cut with DJ Clay, C-Lo D (Carlito 810), T-Smoove, and the others as well.


Cuts such as Black Male, Something’ Funky, Another Jack Move, and Drop The Microphone were tracks that later appeared on the Ruff-N-Rugged album Swing Sump’n Ruff in 1994.
[Ruff-N-Rugged was the most overlooked Flint hip-hop group ever despite being the fourth rap group out of Flint to get national mention on TV channels such as MTV, Fox, ETV, and The BOX. Ruff-N-Rugged was C-Lo and DJ Clay.]

I rate this album, We Can Do This!, 5/5*****!!
