Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected EP review

The Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected cassette is a San Antonio rap EP filled with huge tangent of Latin rap and a touch of that good old Spanish flavor. Wikit J laid down the production. The Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected cassette was packaged and released as an EP in 2000 to promote the planned Worldwide Connected compilation album that was originally going to be released.

Blastin was an original recording for the Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected compilation album. The original version of Blastin featured Teflon. Teflon was later replaced by Mystery on the other version of Blastin. That was one of the hardest songs on the album.

Mi Amigos was one of the original recordings for the Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected compilation album. The original recording featured Lil Sin. However Lil Sin was replaced by Baby Beesh on the other version.

Slow Ride is a mellow but dark rap song about getting your life together as this life is crazy. Mr. Joshay graces the song with his vocals over the Spanish style production from Wikit J. The Spanish style production consists of a Latin guitar, shakers, and filtered processed beats from a drum machine nonetheless. Slow Ride was an original recording for the Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected compilation album. The song was later used on the Southern Swangin compilation album in 2001.

Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected album review

Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected is a San Antonio rap album filled with huge tangent of Latin rap and a touch of that good old Spanish flavor. Wikit J laid down the production. Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected is one of the lesser known San Antonio rap albums which never got released similar to how Lil Short’s album and C-Ordell’s album were never released.

Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected is the unreleased Illegal Amigos compilation album which was promoted in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Waco, and Austin for a short period of time between 1997-2001. But the Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected compilation album was primarily promoted in San Antonio, Houston, and Austin for the most part.

Here are the reasons why the Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected compilation album was never released.

The Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected compilation album never released because most of the members left Illegal Amigos left midway through the recording process and formed Tone City Recordz with Fade Dogg and Falcon. This put a stop to the release of the album.

Plus there was a dispute between Bluntmasta C and Nino. This dispute occurred because Nino released a  compilation album called Illegal Amigos – The Texas-Cali Connection without Bluntmasta C's consent or knowledge. So both Bluntmasta C and Nino ended their partnership for any future albums. This left a feeling of bitterness for both parties.

About half of the songs on the 2001 Southern Swangin compilation album released by Tone City Recordz were originally going to be on the Worldwide Connected compilation album. If you listen to songs such as R.I.A., Blastin, Smokin, and Slow Ride, “The Real Illegal Amigos” is mentioned a few times or so. Those were the songs recorded for the Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected compilation album. Most of the songs would later appear on 2001 Southern Swangin compilation album. Verses from the original recordings were removed and also replaced for various reasons.


Smokin is a song that was recorded by “The Real Illegal Amigos” for the Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected compilation album. The song uses modernized bass lines from the song Whodini - Friends and copies the same musical notes, chords, and keys. Smokin is one of those feel good, get high songs.
 
You See Me is a mellow battle style rap song with Southern rap and Latin rap sounds. This song always goes hard. This song is an example of San Antonio rap from the 2000s. You See Me also appeared as U C Me on the album Baby Bash - Get Wiggy album. Now this song was originally recorded for the Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected compilation album.

Blastin was an original recording for the Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected compilation album. The original version of Blastin featured Teflon. Teflon was later replaced by Mystery on the other version of Blastin. That was one of the hardest songs on the album.

Mi Amigos was one of the original recordings for the Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected compilation album. The original recording featured Lil Sin. However Lil Sin was replaced by Baby Beesh on the other version.

Slow Ride is a mellow but dark rap song about getting your life together as this life is crazy. Mr. Joshay graces the song with his vocals over the Spanish style production from Wikit J. The Spanish style production consists of a Latin guitar, shakers, and filtered processed beats from a drum machine nonetheless. Slow Ride was an original recording for the Illegal Amigos - Worldwide Connected compilation album. The song was later used on the Southern Swangin compilation album in 2001.


*Members of Tone City Recordz were former members of Illegal Amigos.

Young Blayze - Young Blayze album

The Young Blayze - Young Blayze album was one of those No Limit albums that was supposed to be released during the New No Limit era and Universal era in 2002 but was never released due to the rising popularity and on 504 Boyz and Lil Romeo. No Limit’s focus on 504 Boyz and Lil Romeo is why this album was never released. There were songs recorded for the album. The Young Blayze - Young Blaze album was constantly advertised in No Limit album from 2002 to 2004. His album has that Southern rap sound with production from Kenoe and C-Los.


Young Blayze’s rap style is begnin as cancerous and effective emphatically on Whatz Up. He gives us spiritual and lyrical guidance with his lyrics on Whatz Up. His rhymes are so exciting to the point of inciting riots. His lyrics are just as versatile as they were on Lights Out.

Young Blayze’s rap style is begnin as cancerous and effective emphatically when he comes through. He blows spots and burns booth. He simultaneously brings heat which is delivered raw. You don’t want to get caught in a competition with his mighty lyricism. That is just another way for him to rhyme. His stories are so exciting to the point of inciting riots. So try his lyrical and spiritual guidance. Make room for his spiritual offering. Make room for the spirit. It’s so real.


Young Blayze is eliminating rivals with his versatile lyrics on Lights Out. The song is backed by shakers and beats from Kenoe.

Big money be that big in the Dirty South. Guns are strong like Teflon. Running with guns out with no hesitation. Eliminating rivals. Lights out. Young Blayze rides dirty like a tiger hunting down a birdie. Bringing something raw. He sends out bullets like FedEx. It’s just that hot down south.

Young Blayze is highly anticipated. The anticipation for him is from his flows in his raps. Young Blaze is still in the mix in the bricks. He’s got Seawoodson's on the truck grinning and spinning. Yes, sir.

PFG - PLAYAS FROM THE GHETTO album review

PFG - PLAYAS FROM THE GHETTO is an extremely hardcore gangsta rap album with a tough edge of street knowledge. PFG has this “in your face” no holds barred attitude about who they are and where they represent. Day-K, Drank, and Kurod are the members of PFG who are players from the ghetto and a rap trio. PFG stood for Playas From the Ghetto. Ricé's production shines all over the place as he is solely responsible for producing their album.

Die Too is about getting revenge for a friend of PFG’s that had been killed by an enemy. So PFG had to engage in revenge. PFG are taking lives as they are the undertakers. So beware. Die Too uses a super mellow acoustic keyboard over thickened bass.

Slippas Go has a cool chorus behind some crisp beats. But the chords and synths sound way off key and out of tune making the song unbearable to listen to. This song is the worst song off their album.

Playa's From The Ghetto was PFG’s anthem. You can’t fuck with PFG as they are real players from the ghetto.   PFG has this vocal “in your face” no holds barred attitude about who they are and where they represent. They make that clear and understood.

4/5****!

Curren$y - Da Hott Spitta album review

Curren$y - Da Hott Spitta is a rap album which has some of the hottest lyrics and hardest beats. He showcases his lyrical abilities and skills with his rhymes. He never fails to impress is audiences. Everywhere I Go and That Ain’t Right are some of the best tracks on his album. Curren$y is Curren$y the Hot Spitter.

Those of you who were No Limit fans during the early 2000s might remember the Curren$y - Da Hott Spitta album being advertised as plainly “CURREN$Y” in the No Limit Records albums that were distributed by Universal Records albums from 2002 to 2003. The Curren$y - Da Hott Spitta album was advertised as plainly “CURREN$Y” in an emerald green solid colored background with Curren$y sporting and showing off his The New No Limit Records chain next to Young Blayze in the COMING SOON FROM THE NEW NO LIMIT section where the future upcoming albums were advertised.

Those of you who were No Limit fans during the early 2000s might also remember the Curren$y - Da Hott Spitta album being advertised in the No Limit Records albums that were distributed by Koch Records from 2006. Curren$y’s No Limit album was advertised in Master P’s 2004 album Good Side, Bad Side.

Curren$y - Da Hott Spitta is one of the lesser known unreleased No Limit Records albums that was advertised from 2002 to 2005 when No Limit Records was distributed by Universal Records and Koch Records. The Curren$y - Da Hott Spitta album was going to be released on the date of November 19, 2002 on No Limit Records and TRU Records with distribution from Universal Records and D3 Entertainment.

However this did not happen because TRU Records lost their deal with D3 Entertainment as D3 Entertainment was suspended by the California Secretary of State over taxes in 2003.

The other reason why Curren$y’s album on No Limit was never released was because Master P sold his 2001-2003 back catalog to Universal Records when the label bankrupt in 2003. Curren$y - Da Hott Spitta was part of that catalog. Master P sold the rights of that album to Universal Records when the label bankrupt in 2003 as part of the sale. Curren$y does not own rights to that album. Rights to the Curren$y - Da Hott Spitta album belong to Universal Records.

The other reason why Curren$y’s album on No Limit was never released is because TRU Records folded on the date of November 18, 2005 by the Louisiana Secretary of State through a legislative power of Inactive Action By Secretary Of State whatever the reason(s) may have been or were.


With Me was a duo track with Choppa and Curren$y. Master P featured on this track also.

Now Choppa be marching like a soldier with No Limit army right behind him. On that Westbank is where you might find him. He’s all about getting that dolla.  mHe can pull a Prada model, t-shirt holla wobble wobble.
Later during the beginning of the song is where Choppa is at the club. He pops a bottle at the bar. The henny is turning green after being mixed.

We in the club pop a bottle, at the bar
Tell your girl stop tripping, she could holla at a star
Hypnotic in the car, is all I need to get mean
We could mix it
Like one say, left to the right right, to the left left, to the right
Let me see you bounce with me, East to the West
North to the South, back to the house, come blow a ounce with me

[Hook - 2x]
All my soldiers with me (yeah)
All my whodis with me (yeah)
If you hustle hard for a nigga praying (yeah)
My soldierettes with me (yeah)
My independent women (yeah)
Them hoes hatin' cause you looking good (hell yeah)

Things gets wild like New Orleans during Mardi Gras on the second verse. Read the lyrics below.:

Everybody throw your dranks up, soldiers throw your tanks up
Hit the flo', wild out, everybody drink something
It’s your set, throw it up, show me where the fuck you from
What you drinking mix it with this, hit this weed and have some fun
Girls got they butts up, y'all know what's up
We drinking this straight out the bottle, whodi put them cups up
I'm from the home of the Queen, that they call Anna

Who’s up next? Curren$y is! Curren$y came to represent New Orleans, Louisiana. He at gets a chance to showcase his lyrical skills.

Curren$y pulls up in a big truck on a set of twenty three's (23 inch rims aka 23’s). He has $20,000 of cash in the pocket of his P. Miller jeans. Playa hatas are mad as they wish they could rid of him. He is always on the radio. He keeps the burner with him as he never on the streets without it. The women form a crowd around the limo as Curren$y hops out it.

And my money hell-a-long, cause I just got a check from P
Huh bitches to Hot Spitter, you fuck around if you want
And watch how quick a nigga, send you to the hospital
Stick this baretta to your braids, me and my soldiers
Sticking together like Franky Beverly and me


That Ain’t Right was a TRU Records exclusive track that was recorded in 2001 used on C-Murder’s TRU Dawgs compilation. XL produced That Ain’t Right. That Ain’t Right is a heavy lyrical rap song filled with  action packed adventure.It's about to go down here.

Now Curren$y ain't trying to take over the game even though that was his plan when he signed to No Limit Records. He’s just trying to get a Range Rover and a couple of chains. He’s got a X-ed out college bitch giving him brains. Curren$y gave her his e-mail address and an alias name of his.

Curren$y wants more green than the Boston Celtics. Let a tru nigga breathe. Don't be selfish. Curren$y be on a hot spitta competition. He can’t help it. Curren$y is known for spitting raps like that.

Curren$y sees you wanna-be rappers and gangsters claiming to have firearms. But he sees you with no straps like low-top Air Force Ones. You’re rapping on beats using pots for drums. You’re talking about money but ain't got no funds. Oh I got the hoe with me, You just can't see through the tint that Curren$y got a hoe with him. So you’re jealous. And I'm beggin ya, dog. Please don't quit rapping. If you quit rapping then he quits laughing. That ain't right. Just let a nigga breathe in the game. Aight.

He got a flat so he had to leave the V in the garage. And X see the bar on his Bentley.  Curren$y heads to the spa for a weekly massage. Curren$y, your lady, and your sister do a ménage à trois. He just copped two Porsches and the dashboard got more wood than the Evergreen Forest. Pull up on the block. Shorty is too hot like Papa Bear's porridge. Talking about you pop caps to wet Curren$y.


Everywhere I Go is about how people are always constantly asking him questions. Curren$y has to deal with haters and naysayers everywhere he goes. All because he flows so tight. Ezell Swang produced Everywhere I Go which was used on the 2002 album 504 Boyz - Ballers.

A lot of niggas are saying they don't like Curren$y because he flows so tightly, His wrist wear glows so brightly. But Curren$y ain't gonna quit. Niggas know he goes hard in the paint. He won't settle for shit.

You might see Curren$y on the block pull up in a 720' Bentley with a drop or doing donuts in a Viper. He probably won't quit until he burns the grip off his tires.

Curren$y is going to take a vacation with a couple of honeys on the yacht today. And later on tonight.  Curren$y is the don of this rap shit. His album is going platinum. Y'all niggas is going double plastic. Shit will get tragic if one of you fools choose to make him use his automatic. You don’t want to hear the sounds of click-clack-blow. He is here to show you how he gets down.

Now everywhere he goes people ask constantly ask him questions such as where he lives for. He tells the people who ask him questions, “Money, hoes and clothes is all a nigga know. And when I get my chips, you know what I'm a go and get. A house and kicks. And a couple of whips.”

Now when he pulls up niggas running like Trans cars. That'll buck backwards in a black Jaguar. You niggas is actors. Hot Spitter is the truth. Curren$y sets fire to the mic, when he step in the booth of the recording studio. There is no one like in around town in New Orleans, Louisiana. You don't want none of Curren$y because he is the man. Why do you niggas want to rhyme like Curren$y? You can't spit like you lost just a life or a grand. Watch the women run behind his jeep when he leaves the recording studio. Now peep him. Stay smooth and calm.

5/5*****!!

Krazy Posse - What the Homeboys Do album review

Krazy Posse - What the Homeboys Do is a forgotten Latin rap album from San Antonio rap. The album has firme slammin beats produced by DJ Warfare. You have you reality rap songs such as I'm Going Crazy and What the Homeboys Do. You also have your club oriented tracks such as Can You Dig It and Latino Women.


I'm Going Crazy is a song deals with the insanity of craziness. Sometimes you catch yourself staring at the walls and with so much pressure your mind explodes. At this point the mind gets windy like an all out storm. They call Krazy crazy cause his rhymes hit the walls like a hurricane storm. Step back way back because you've been warned.

The song uses a fusion of rap rock. I'm Going Crazy has firme slammin beats produced by DJ Warfare over heavy harpsichord notes and chords. The song is backed by a cold ass piano. Who’s been scratchin' the bass?

Samples used in this song were B-Fats - Woppit, Dr. Dre - Lyrical Gangbang, and Bob James - Westchester Lady. What DJ Warfare did splice the beats from Dr. Dre - Lyrical Gangbang into the harpsichord and piano. notice how the piano chords and harpsichord keys mix in with each other.

Krazy is naturally gifted. No other funky rapper star have just been born. On the mic no sucka MC will never ever face Krazy. Krazy is making you move with this crazy groove. And so is DJ Warfare.

They call Krazy crazy cause his rhymes hit the walls like a hurricane storm. Step back way back because you've been warned. His mind gets windy like an all out storm because my brain is twisting with the shit I keep thinking about. Sometimes he catches himself staring at the walls  and with so much pressure his mind explodes. Now his mind is playing tricks again. He is going crazy.
 
In a room with four walls all alone, Krazy sits at his desk. Gettin' cold ass stupid staring into space. Shouting meaningful rhymes.

Now all he really wants is a girl next to him. Just to love him for him. Not to use him for my money or his physical body.

Crazy is his title when he is on the attack. So you can crazy hit it. He is on the crazy tip. So best crazy believe it. He’s making you move with this crazy groove.  And there's nothing else to do but to do it. So get on the floor and get twist.


The song What The Homeboys Do explains Krazy’s experience in the drug trade and how to succeed in the drug trade. Krazy gives us tips on how to be successful in the drug trade/business. I'm not kidding. I'm dead ass serious. Analyze the fact most drugs are here to stay.

Krazy on is the mic coolin' out. Nothing too hype, but just right. Fuck the critics. Fuck what the critics say. Here's a little example what the homeboys do. So shut the fuck up and listen.

At the scenery with the box on high. Everyone is around getting stoned and high. Getting all fucking crazy on a Saturday night. Krazy is reclining in the lawn chair with a mic in his hand just chillin' with the beer can cold in sight. He is rhymin’. He took out a pipе and started bassing after the second hit. He’s got a couple bags of pot left. He just sells pot to make a quick buck. He makes a thousand dollars each day. (That’s $1,000 dollars a day.) It's worth a risk when the cash starts flowing in. There’s no way you'll get busted if you know what you’re doing. It's a planned out thing if you know what I mean. There's no room for fuck ups in the drug game.

And the only thing you do is keep it cool. When it comes to dealing, real drug dealers have to use the gat.
And the next thing you know with one hard blow and now you’re kissing the floor with the twelve gauge barrel pointed on your face. Theres no time for fun if there’s a fuck up. Prepare to start gunning, stash the shit, and start running. Get caught and you stop making money.

There’s nothing new to this. All this shit is the same. With all the drug wars and everything remains unchanged. Ain't that a funny thing the way the government has your control the way the moneys spent? Analyze the fact most drugs are here to stay. Don't ignore it.

And that was an example what the homeboys do. That was a little example what homeboys do.

These lyrics explain how addictive the lucrative business of drug trade is.  “You have one side to dream of being rich/You have your other whose hooked on the shit”


Stompin is a jazz and blues fusion based Latin rap song. Jazz and blues meet Latin rap on Stompin. The song copies the piano notes and chords from Donald Byrd - Flight Time. Stompin has firme slammin beats produced by DJ Warfare.
