This is Michael Mixerr Today I will review the album called Sin Loc - Smell The Smoke, See The Fire.
For those who don't know, this album was supposed to be released in 1999/2000 on Gotcha Bakk Records and Big Game Records, but due to the decline of gangsta rap in the music industry and distributors not wanting to take this project on, Smell The Smoke, See The Fire by Sin Loc remained unreleased for 14 years. Production was done by Funkysoulbrotha, Black Jason and Sin Loc. This is perfect G-Funk. Tredding Water, 4 Ya Hat, and Super Rhymes 1999 should have been singles. Too bad this wasn't released in 1999 as Sin Loc had planned. Smell The Smoke, See The Fire by Sin Loc was released in 2013.
[Sin Loc was the person who wore the Freddy Kuger mask in 1993 on Steady Dippin', Piru Love, and Bangin' On Wax music videos. Sin Loc was one of the rappers on the Bangin' On Wax project series. He was on the Crip side for the project.]
Tredding Water is another good song. Sin Loc tells us his life story on Tredding Water by getting autobiographical with his bad self. Tredding Water is a biographical song chronicling Sin Loc's life as Tredding Water focuses of chronology of Sin Loc's life from birth to the current time period.
Smell The Smoke, See The Fire is the title track of this album which was meant to be released in 1999. This track was recorded in 1999. Great use of the Big Lurch sample on the title track Smell The Smoke, See The Fire.
Super Rhymes 1999 samples Jimmy Spencer - Super Rhymes. Super Rhymes 1999 is the best song off of this album!! Sin Loc pays tribute and homage to hip hop and rap music on Super Rhymes 1999 as Super Rhymes 1999 revisits the original Super Rhymes.
Cheddar is a biographical song of Sin Loc's life. It's all about survival in the dope game even when that shit don't work. Ain't nothing funny when you're broke. Straight up reality here. Another track laced with G-Funk beats. Black Jason produced Cheddar. Black Jason and Lil D (Sin Loc's son) are featured on this song.
Straight From The Heart is a dedication song to Eazy-E. Sin Loc gets teary and heartfelt by coming straight from the heart on Straight From The Heart with his emotions. Straight From The Heart is a true raw wholehearted heartfelt song. You can feel the sorrow, mournful emotions inside of this song when you listen to it.
Just Bounce is a song to floss to in your ride whether it's on Dayton Rims, Caddilac, or Regals.
Win, Lose, Or Draw is about making decisions in life. It’s basically about making choices. Dead On They Ass is a hit'em up 187 song with fast paced G-Funk beats. Snoring samples Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing. 4 Ya Hat showcases Sin Loc's lyrical talent. The bass goes super hard. So do the beats. Sin Loc tells us he's alive and well reppin' the CPT on Still Rollen' with Black Jason.
I rate this album, Smell The Smoke, See The Fire, 5/5*****!
