This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the single Jayo Felony - Livin' Foe Dem Thangz/I'ma Keep Bangin. This single was released on cassette from Loco Entertainment/Loco Records along with Prodagee Records/Prodagee Productions in 1993 and also on vinyl from JMJ Records & Def Jam.
The first song is Livin' Foe Dem Thangz which is about living for those material things in life as well as gangbanging. The beat is off the hook! Jayo Felony made a bunch of references to the Rollin' 40s Crip gang on this track. Jayo Felony makes references to Gangsta Nation Crew. He represents Southeast San Diego, California.
This was a diss towards Big June. This is what started the beef with Big June. The reason why Jayo Felony dissed Big June was that both them were from rival gangs and rival sets. Jayo Felony was from the Rollin' 40s Crip gang and Big June was from Skyline Piru gang (Bloods).
I'ma Keep Bangin' is the last track which is also yet again about gangbanging and reppin' Gangsta Nation Crew. Jayo Felony makes references to Gangsta Nation Crew. The sample is Horns of Brixton by The Clash.
If Jayo Felony had added these two songs from this single to the Take A Ride album in 1994, then the album would have taken off more and have made the album tighter to be listening to. But sample clearance issues is what prevented these songs from being on the Take A Ride album.
I rate this single, Livin' Foe Dem Thangz/I’ma Keep Bangin, 5/5*****!
