Following the intro
is the first track "Play Your Cards" a bangin track produced by Cool
& Dre. Filled with brass & synthesizers and a real catchy chorus,
this song is all about hustling to your potential and getting
everything you can get.
"Coffee Shop" was the first single from "Hustlenomics" it created a
little bit of controversey because many think the song is all about
selling dope, but its a song about getting it however you can get
it. Don Vito produced it & Gorilla Zoe is featured on the song.
Gorilla Zoe is also featured on "Bottle Poppin" which has a darker
feel to it than other tracks on this album, it sounds a little bit
like a Memphis track with heavy hittin bass and cymbals throughout.
The flows by Joc & Zoe are addictive and on point on "Bottle Poppin"
One of the tightest beats on the album is "I'm A G" featuring Young
Dro & Bun B. This head nodder features top knotch verses from the
beginning to the end with a clever chorus. In particular Young Dro
dropped some gems.
"Pak Man" is one of the most original tracks of the year, it has a
real laid back beat filled with alot of hi-hats and snares. The
verses on "Pak Man" have a vocal effect on them, giving them a real
high pitch. At times throughout the track Yung Joc & Pak Man go back
and forth trading bars. Very bumping track, check it out.
"Living The Life" is a mellow track with an R&B feel to it. It
features Southern Girl on the hook. "Momma" is a Dear Mama type of
song. I know what you're thinking, that's a little bit lame. But its
actually a very bumpin song. Jazze Pha helps out producing the song
and delivering the chorus. This song is dedicated to his momma and
hardships they've endured.
Trick Daddy & Block join Yung Joc on "Chevy Smile" which is another
track produced by Jazze Pha. I wouldnt be surprised to see this
released as a single in the future, its a real bumpin song and would
make a nice video. Trick Daddy fits perfectly on this song.
Other bangin tracks include "Cut Throat" which has a heavy west
coast feel to it, it feaures The Game, Jim Jones & Block and was
produced by DJ Quik. Diddy joins Yung Joc on the bumpin track "Hell
Yeah"
Yung Joc
definately avoided the sophomore jinx with "Hustlenomics" I'm
already looking forward to his Junior album. You can almost
listen to this album all the way through, there are a few tracks
that you will definately skip, but there are alot more tracks you
will put on repeat. |
