Mixerr Album Reviews #1,039

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Billy Blade - Trials of Billy Blade.

If one didn’t know any better, one would assume that Trials of Billy Blade was a country music album on cassette. But Trials of Billy Blade is a rap album. Country music meets spoken word and rap music on Trials of Billy Blade. Billy is a byproduct of Ohio rap that has been overlooked due to the likes of Bone Thugs N Harmony, Mo Thugs, Bone Brothers, B.O.S., and Bow Wow.

The Introduction is where spoken word meets rap music although The Introduction spoken word is mostly spoken word ironically speaking. The Introduction is a blend of spoken word and rap music. Somehow spoken word escapes into rap music.

Billy Blade exercises his First Amendment rights as allowed by the United States Constitution by using the freedom of speech clause on the track Speakin’ Freely. He exercises his First Amendment rights by using freedom of speech as  allowed by United States Constitution freedom of speech clause in the First Amendment. In other words, he uses freedom of speech freely.

Colosseum turns into an all out lyrical freestyle battle with just Billy Blade himself going on the lyrical tip. His lyrics are not too polished or sophisticated though. 

I rate this album, Trials of Billy Blade, 3/5***.
