Baltimore's very own hits us with his latest tape. The dude's been gettin' some real buzz and he's proven he's got some talent so let's see how he does.
1. Make You Fly feat Jazze Pha (Prod by Lifted)
2. Living My Dreams (Prod by Mike Cash) - Los spits some motivational shit here about doing your thing. Mike Cash gives a piano oriented track with some real nice drums. The DMV representative definitely shows that he's got some slick lyrics here. And he flexes his flawless double timing at the end.
3. King Los feat Lola Monroe (Prod by J Feddy) - Solid beat here. Los gives an excellent flow as he spits dizzying rhymes about gettin' money and pullin' bitches. Lola Monroe, another recent signee to Taylor Gang, is quite impressive here. She's one of the better female rappers I've heard in a while.
4. Money Loud (Prod by Jahlil Beats) - Jahlil Beats laces us with a pretty average beat (for him) here. Los spits a semi slow flow here. This one's a banger, but I expected it to be better. Solid effort here.
5. Stroke Of Genius (Prod by Mike Cash) - Weirddd beat here ahaha. Los' lyrics from :56- 1:04 are dopeee. This is one has got some of his better lyrics. And that hook is fucking funny and incredibly raw at the same time. After hearing this one.. it's tough to deny this dude's talent.
6. 2 Vs 1 (Prod by The Young Boyz) - Simple track. Los speaks to the bitches here. This is a real westcoast beat (which is odd because he's from the westcoast).
7. Wait For It (Prod by Jazze Pha)
8. Biggest Fan feat Sean Hayz & Kid Ink (Prod by TheOnly4Point0) - This instrumental here is crazyyy. The way they flipped that choir sample was impressive. And that chorus is ridiculously catchy. The guy who sings it doesn't even have that great of a voice, but it works. Kid Ink (who has ben growing on me) gives a good verse (for him). He's not ridiculously lyrical, but he's got a cool voice and delivery. Los' first verse is solid. The entire idea of them (being the famous rappers) following the groupies like their number one fans is a very creative idea for a give back to their fans.
9. What’s Good (Prod by Battleroy) - This is a veryyy J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League-esque beat. The orchestra feel mixed with the hype-beast guitars and drums is gorgeous. Los spits a catchy chorus and has some excellent bars. He definitely lives up to the talent of this beat. Favorite Song!!!
10. Shine feat Phil Ade (Prod by Drum Machine)
11. Finally Here feat Twista (Prod by The Loft) - This one leaked sans Twista a little while back. Twista was a nice addition though. Los proves that he's actually got a nice voice along with dope bars on this one. Nice track.
12. All The Way To Church feat Jazze Pha (Prod by Battleroy)
13. Get It feat XV (Prod by Lifted)
14. Make You Proud feat Sean Hayz & DMX (Prod by Reign)
15. Fast Lane feat Ernie Gaines (Prod by Rick Steel)
16. Masterpiece (Prod by Calvo)
17. Never Say Never feat Sean Hayz (Prod by J Oliver)
18. Vintage Rolls Royce Interior (Prod by Drum Machine)
19. Outro feat Sean Hayz (Prod by Reign) - Los spits about his talent over a very relaxed and slow track. Los' punchlines are on pointt here. Sean Hayes songs a muchhh better chorus compared to his previous effort. Great ending to a great mixtape.
So.. Los does indeed live up to the hype. He proves that he deserves to be one of the hottest up and coming emcees. His beat selection is a little iffy, but that should improve as he gets more famous. I wish he had rapped with a little more substance, but he's making bangers so he can catch some attention. Which is respectable. Keep an eye out for Los. He's on the verge of taking the game by a storm.
