Mixerr Album Reviews #831

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I am going to review the Nightrider EP by Big June. 

Nightrider was an EP that was put out on cassette and CD in 1994 by Repo Records. Repo Ric was Big June's manager at the time. Production was done by Repo Ric, Dr. Devious (Dr. Dev), and Steve Vicious. This cassette EP is one of many of Big June’s works.

First off is the intro to Night Rider which repeats Big June N-I Double G-A over and over on a sample of More Bounce To The Ounce by Zapp. Screams, screeches, tires peel outs, gunshots, ammo, and bullets can be heard in the loud background adding to the chaotic mix of pandemonium. The introduction itself got annoying real quick. It is chaotic. One will want to skip this track because of its repetitive nature

Battle Rap was Big June spitten rhymes fast! Big June goes into a freestyle with his battle raps. It’s freestyle rap meets battle rap on this track. It's only 2 minutes long however. The only annoying thing is Battle Rap repeats itself after the time mark of 1:08.

Night Rider is a song off of another Big June EP on cassette called Da Plug. Big June was a young rider creepin' in the night. So don't get caught slippin'! On this song Big June talks about robbing and jacking people for their possessions and their shit.  (He doesn't rap about this stuff anymore. So don't worry!) .

The remix of Straight Jackin' is an unpolished unfinished version of a remix with a More Bounce To The Ounce by Zapp with that G-Funk heavy sound. You either get into it or you don’t. You either like this or you don’t.

Nothin' But A Come Up is about puttin' in work and doin' dirt. Basically it's committing robberies and killings. Big June is on a mission. Big June is on a mission. Nothin' But A Come Up details the criminal lifestyle of Big June.

Big June Nigga and Straight Jackin' were songs on 2 cassette singles there were put out in 1992 and made it on this EP. Both songs have the gangsta rap theme about robberies, shootings, killings, and jackings.

I rate this EP, Nightrider, 4/5****!
