Freddie Gibbs: Cold Day In Hell



This is the new mixtape from the Jeezy affiliate Freddie Gibbs. He's a big name in the south so this one is worth keeping an eye out for.

Tracklist:


1. Barely M.A.D.E. It
2. Rob Me A Nigga (feat. Alley Boy)
3. 187 Proof
4. Anything To Survive (feat. Freeway & Sly Polaroid)
5. 2′s & Fews (feat. Young Jeezy)
6. Gotta Let Ya Nuts Hang (feat. Scrilla)
- Grimy song title here haha. Arkatech is on the beat on this one. Freddie shows his typrical short, but deep lines such as: "doin' wrong is my rite of passage." Skrilla (his labelmate) shows a nice flow here. #Trapmuzik right here. Favorite Song!!!
7. Let ‘Em Burn - The Olympics cooks up a very bouncy beat for this track. This is a lot more mainstream and upbeat than the usual Gibbs song, but he keeps it southern and adapts well. Gibbs flows his ass off on that second verse
8. B.A.N.ned - Freddie has a series of nice songs in a row. He and Cardo are actually a perfect match. Cardo's simplistic beats match perfectly with Gibbs's aggressive flow. Really feelin' this track. Gibbs is really keepin' it trill on this beat.
9. My Homeboy’s Girlfriend
10. PSA 2 (Pussy So Amazin)
11. Natural High
12. Str8 Slammin (feat. Juicy J)
13. Menace II Society (feat. Dom Kennedy)
14. Neighborhood Hoes (feat. 2 Chainz) - Not gonna lie, 2 Chainz outperformed Gibbs here. Probably the best verse I've ever heard from 2 Chainz. He does something different with his voice that actually makes him interesting to listen to. He also speeds up his flow which helps. My only flaw with Freddie is that he can get monotone and boring. And he's both on this track. The beat is dope though and that featured verse makes up for Gibbs's lack of energy. Oh, and Gibbs does a lyrically great verse by the way aha!
15. Heaven Can Wait
16. My Dogz

Tyrese: I'm Home (feat. Jay Rock)



This Tyrese dude is aight. He's one of the few R&B artists I can listen to as of lately. I really liked that "I Gotta Chick" song (the one with Tyga). The beat has a really relaxed but deep feel to it. I like how he switches octaves with ease on the chorus. Jay Rock does his usual above verse here. Can't really hate the dude, but also can't love him. Overall, the song is a nice track for the whip.



I'm Home (feat. Jay Rock)

L.E.P. Bogus Boys: 25th Hour



This one is perfect for Halloween. My favorite producers of all time, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, cooks up a really creepy beat here. The repetitive organ and hardcore guitar make this track knock! LEP Bogus Boys are pretty good in my opinion. Don't know why they are sooo big right now. They sound like a lot of other southern groups out right now, but they have a really good amount of energy. Download it for the JUSTICE League beat at the least thought!



25th Hour

Short Dawg: Two White Cups (feat. Gudda Gudda)



New track from Short's Halloween themed tape. Da Engineers flip a Drake line and chop it up for a dope sample. Short Dawg uses an impressive flow. I wish I liked his sound more, because he's a dope emcee. But the beats on this tape were too southern for me. Regardless, this ones goes hard. Oh and Gudda is forgettable (as always).

Jim Jones: Genocide (feat. Sen City)



Another song being posted for the Jahlil Beats instrumental. He's on fire as of lately. Jim Jones is... ehh. But the beat is really smooth here. I think that Jahlil is branching out and switching it up. He's improving a lot in my opinion. Jay-Z made a smart move by signing him.



Genocide (feat. Sen City)

Lil Chuckee: What I'm Doin' (feat. Diamond & Darnell Robinson)



I never thought that I would like Chuckee. But now that his voice is developing, he's a lot more bearable. He's improved his flow a lot. The beat sounds like a Boi-!da beat, but I'm sure it's someone else. Darnell Robinson spits a Roscoe Dash-esque chorus. I like it though, it's very catchy. Diamond is shitty, but her verse is over quickly! Keep an eye out for Chuckee.



What I'm Doin' (feat. Diamond & Darnell Robinson)

Dorrough: What You Wanna Bet



Jahlil Beats... that's why this is here. This one's off Dorrough's "Silent Assassin." He's a ridiculously average emcee. The only reason you would download the tape is for the DOPE beats.
