Mixerr Album Reviews #849

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review The Cavalry - In Da City.

The Calvalry from St. Louis, Missouri describes the lifestyle inside the city and inner city problems. Many factor lead to plague inner city problems. Life in the city is not easy. 

Intromental is an instrumental introduction. Take intro and put in mental. Now you have "intromental". Intromental could be used as an instrumental during an introduction track. This instrumental introduction sets off a mental vibe. The instrumental had used Afrocentric drums for percussion. 

Homiz Jackin Homiz is about the social problems African Americans face such as theft, burglary, death, and violence. Black on black disrespect is what leads homies to jack each other. It's a vicious cycle. One that is hard to break. However, The Cavalry uses an Islamic approach to tackling the issues described on this track. Using the Five Pillars of Islam to promote peace is how The Cavalry deals with the issue at hand.  

The Intromental should have been used as the first track on the single serving as the introduction track instead of rather than being placed in the middle of the single. The Cavalry group could have expanded the single into 5 or 6 tracks to have expanded this single into an EP. This single would have more potential if a few additional tracks were added. 
I rate this single, In Da City, 3/5***.
