The latest effort from Lil Keke
done been out for a hot minute but whatīs the album all about? Is Keke still the half man
half-amazing rapper we came to love years ago?
To start off the album S.U.C.īs finest has the title track. A great
song and album opener, real southern beat laced with a small acoustic guitar twist. He
delivers what he should here!
Ballin with Rally Boys and Kottonmouth is lovely. Okay when you read
the title on the back of the cover you be like, man could he have come up with a
less original song title? well no, but while the topic might be everything
but new and uncovered the beat itself is on some year 2003 shit. It got a real southern
ground to stand on and from there they add some futuristic stuff, hard to explain but
itīs just really good. Like Keke say a beautiful thang!
Prostitute is somewhat a small
disappointment to me. Not a hot beat and the topic about how he like all prostitutes
donīt feel so damn hot either, sorry but the don didnīt deliver a good song here! But on
the other hand the real life song
Far To Go is very promising, he
be rapping about how he done made it far already but still has a long way to go. He is
talking bout the past and all. The chorus are straight; all I know is hustling and
striving and feeling pain/each and every day Iīm surviving stucked in the game/gotta get
this money/this cash thatīs all I know/done came a long way but got far to go!
Shake Somethin is for the club heads, okay song but nothing extra to be
found on song 5. On The Grind features Archie Lee & Lil C is a real Keke
type of track. All there mic holders get there shine on. What might be even more of a Keke
song to some peeps is
Dreamin which have chorus handled
by a lady that I donīt know the name on since they donīt care to tell us. Anyhow the
song is on point, laid back. Canīt help it, I just drop my top and let the damn rain in,
even though itīs better if you press play to this song on a sunny day, but still, thatīs
the type of song this is!
Here We Go Again is just that -
he rap over a typical beat, now that ainīt bad - not at all! Your typical Keke beat is a
really good beat. All Iīm saying is that itīs not an outstanding song but cool
sure!
Rumors is of course dedicated to them folks that be spreading lies bout
Da Don. Song features Big T, but I wish he had brought Big Moe in instead but sure T does
his thing singing and all but Moe does is better ya know!
Iīm A G bring us a high energy
rapping Keke not that laid back. Even though I wouldnīt compare to a crunk ATL rapper I
however can describe his delivery somewhat like heīs heading in that direction.
After a song like that we need to get laid
back again people so Big T comes in again to deliver some chorus singing on Love and
Understood a good song!
One of my personal Keke favorites, and fav rap songs ever to be honest is a song
from 97 I think of a Poetic 1 compilation, called Smoke With Me well guess
what they remixed it and put it out again in 2002 on this tape right here. But since I
love the old version so damn much itīs hard to top it, I like this version as well no
doubt, probably the best song on the album but itīs more up tempo then the original. And
smoke songs shouldnt be too up-tempo to me but anyhow this is a lovely thang!
Houston Finest starts of with a few R.I.P. shout outs to Screw and Fat
Pat and then he get his rhyme on in a really good way I must say. Kind of bouncy delivery
here, but I sure feel it and are positive you will too! Just give this song a chance! To
end this new effort he got a original version and a screwed version of the song
Nuthin But Love which has been dedicated to Screw and Fat Pat again, He talks
about the pain after the loose of close friends. A good way to end the album
however this is not a slow make you cry beat more of an up-tempo Texas Keke
beat.
So is Da Youngest Don still on point? Well this is not his best effort,
donīt want to call it his worst either since itīs not a bad album. But if he keep em
coming in 5 years from now when we have 10 Keke soloīs or so this will not be the one new
fans will start their collection with if you know what I mean? Still if youīre a Keke
fan, SUC fan or just want a okay southern album sure pick it up. But donīt listen to it
with expectations of being blown away like you was by the new Scarface, just bump the damn
tape and let it be what it is period! |
