Mixerr Album Reviews #853

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Da Pantha - Reno Luv.

Reno Luv is Black Panther inspired and themed rap music. Many references to the Nation of Islam are made too. This tight underground cassette was a released as a local promo in the Chicago, Illinois area in 1996. Classic Chicago ghetto tech sound. Ghetto tech meets the gangsta rap sound. This release contains 2 tracks (U Die and Down Fo Mine). Da Pantha proves to be a down black brother with the Black Panthers, Black P Stones, Black P Folks, FOI, and NOI backing him up. 

Reno was the name of his homie who passed away. He was affiliated with the Black P Stones gang from Chicago at the time. The homie Reno was very close to Da Pantha. They grew up together on the same block in the cold blooded Chicago streets. Da Pantha took a huge loss when Reno got killed. That's why this single was recorded. 

I rate this single, Reno Luv, 5/5*****!
