The Texas Playas album is a low quality production album filled with gangsta rap tunes to play in your ride. It’s nothing but pure smooth G-Funk. Despite the low quality production, the album is enjoyable to listen to. This rap album has that East Texas sound. Heavy bass with significantly reduced treble down by -2.2 decibels.
Texas Playas - Texas Playas is album that was recorded in 1995 but was only released in a limited amount. Not that many were pressed. Only 200 copies were made. The album was pressed onto CD and cassette. The 1995 edition was manufactured by Disc Makers. Drop Top Music from Germany reissued the album on CD in 2013. The 2013 German edition was limited to 50 copies. The album was released on Jovial Songs and later Drop Top Music.
Bruce Lattin (8 Ball) produced the entire album. He was exclusively the sole producer throughout this album meaning that there were no other producers on this album.
Some Day We All Gotta Go reminds us that death is inevitable. Death happens to everyone. It is a known fact when people die that it is a part of life. The song also serves as a dedication for all the dead homies. Members of Texas Playas share the memories of their homies who passed away.
Texas Playas gives us a little something to get the party jumping all night long on the song Lil Sumthing. It’s nothing but smooth G-Funk here. Who knew a rap group from Tyler, Texas could be this funky?
Bullet Proof Vest is a gangsta rap track where the treble reduced by -2.2 decibels. The hiss in the background give the sound a low quality vibe. That’s no surprise seeing as how the album was released on cassette in 1995. However their vocals overlap the music meaning that the vocals are louder than the music itself.
Droppin Bombs is a dope but low quality freestyle rap performed by members of Texas Playas. The hiss in the background gives off that low quality sound. However the medium bass and thick layered beats are what make this rap song dope in spite of the low quality.
I rate this album, 4/5****!
