Mixerr Album Reviews #1,221

This is Michael Mixerr. I will review Astray - Astray.

The production resembles a much larger presence thanks to longtime Saginaw veteran music producer Pleasure Sparks overseeing this Astray album by serving as executive producer. Not only does Pleasure Sparks serve as executive producer, he serves a large number of vocals in the background for many tracks on this Astray album. Astray is the 2000 debut album from Saginaw rapper Astray who is also serving primarily as a songwriter.

Take notice of the presence inside the background vocals for Fast Girl with Lavel Jackson. Established longtime Saginaw vocalist Lavel Jackson serves a large presence in the background vocals. Lavel Jackson never fails to disappoint. Astray raps about how this girl lives this life of crime by participating in prostitution. This girl dates various guys everyday of the week. This girl lives the fast life which is why calling her "fast girl" is appropriate. People who live the fast life live in the fast lane.

The background vocals for War were hard. The hard background vocals is what makes the track War notable. Astray performs rap in a lyrical freestyle on the War track. Astray goes on the warpath on War. War has an aggressive mood. The lyrics from Astray on War are very aggressive which is why we can hear such aggression inside of the lyrics.

You can feel the aggression in of the lyrics on Oh No. Astray raps with such aggressive lyrics on Oh No. The aggressive mood sets Oh No apart from the other tracks on this album. Popular Saginaw rappers Astray and Agony take control as stars of this track.

Although Astray is a hit in Saginaw, Michigan, Astray is not a hit with everyone. Astray still, however, proves to have something in his lyrics through his own skillful songwriting that has something everyone can relate to. He has something for everyone. Songwriting is where Astray excels best at.

I rate this album, Astray, 4/5****!
