This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will do a review on Vontel - Vision of a Dream.
What stands out about this 1996 album is the production! DJ Battlecat produced a significant majority of songs on this album. Battlecat did a phenomenal job producing such superb songs. With Battlecat you can never go wrong. His beats are the shit! They are superb. Roger Troutman not only produced a handful of Vontel songs but lent usage of his vocoder on some Vontel songs which is why you can hear Roger Troutman using a vocoder on some songs. Roger Troutman of Zapp guest stars on 2 tracks. Everything Roger Troutman produced and performed on is pure genius and is pure fire! Smooth G-Funk sounds can be heard on this album. The album, of course, is G-Funk inspired. The beats are exciting even without hooks.
Vontel is a fresh breeze of originality. He keeps his lyrics consistent by flowing with originality. His truly unique vocals help him stand out on his debut album.Vontel is a perfect representation of G-Funk. Vontel has a smooth R&B type of voice you would acquire inside of soul music. Vontel also has a smooth subtle tenor in his voice on this album a smooth pimp type of flow and drawl.
Every fan of rap music should have this album in their music collection. It’s just that good of a classic masterpiece. Vision of a Dream is an album you will regret sleeping on. Vontel - Vision of a Dream is one of the best albums in Arizona R&B and Arizona Rap! Overall the album is tight.

My Homies guest stars Roger Troutman of Zapp. Roger Troutman uses a vocoder on My Homies. R&B meets rap on the My Homies song. My Homies is a perfect representation of G-Funk. A blended element of doo-wop music is added at the end. Everything Roger Troutman produced and performed on is pure genius and is pure fire!
R&B meets rap on Loungin. Loungin samples Kingpin Skinny Pimp - Midnight Hoes. Vontel has a smooth pimp type of flow here. Loungin is perfect for the car boppers and car freaks. R&B meets rap on the Fo Life song. Fo Life is a perfect representation of G-Funk.
I rate this album, Vision of a Dream, 5/5*****!!
