This is Michael Mixerr. I will review Raw Breed – Blood, Sweat & Tears.
Raw Breed – Blood, Sweat & Tears was a byproduct released before the Puff Daddy era where pop rap was at its peak even though this album was released the same year Puffy was in his prime on his way reaching celebrity status in stardom. Raw Breed MCs sound just like Onyx and Mobb Deep on this album as well as their other albums. The group has similarities to Onyx. It could be coincidence. (Or coincidental at that.)
Everyday Tactics showcases how street savvy/streetwise Raw Breed really is and exactly how raw they really are. Raw Breed as a rap collective proves to be both street savvy and streetwise. The track Everyday Tactics has a Mobb Deep sound.
I Want It is a cut about how to get from rags to riches. Everything's Lovely has a smooth swing jazz sample. Overall the sound is very deep and brooding. I Want It showcases a barrage of street smarts and savviness.
Overall this is a dope album despite running a bit long. This album is a perfect representation of 1997 New York hip hop before the Puff Daddy era. Most rap fans have slept on Raw Breed as a whole. This album is no particular exception to that case.
I rate this album, Blood, Sweat & Tears, 4/5****!!
