DARK DAYS, Vol. 1- Mixtape Review

DARK DAYS brought to you from Scar Town- lyrical G’s- B.L.A.C.K C.I.T.Y aims to express, the crews: views, norms, and values to the city. “Nippy in the North” or just “Slug”is the underlying message usually accompanied by the reason why. These guys and gyals are real, wise and even fun showing their unique personalities throughout the album. 19 quality trackz; if you can’t relate to this album, you aint GANGsta!

Welcome to heavy beatz and dark perspectives… Make A Stack- ft. Kurse Dre, Rook$ 9mm, and Dre Specz; “First you get the money, than you get the power”…ending wit: “call me what you wanna call me, we something like a army”. BIG tune, Scarborough Boyz- with a “BAAD” echoing course, gets you to bounce your head along with: Kurse Dre, Ras Thug, Droops, and Bishop Brigante! Gossip- “he said, she said”…in background, I think you can hear, a life line- beep beep beep; from Droops, Kurse Dre, and Risky G. More- has a gyal by the name Mood Swing who throw’s in a hard female vibe that signifies that she representing- “all up in this bitch”, Jizzo, Scamz Droopy, and Camoflauge kill their verses in this one too. There are other tracks of this caliber on the mixtape, along with ones that bring it down a clip.

Mixing in that fun nature, See Me- has a serious introduction followed by a “ryder” beat; they fly, they got bling… “When bitchez see me, they can’t stop stair ‘inn” featuring: Ras Thug, Kurse Dre, and Droops. They don’t only want money, in Make You Cum- with Kurse Dre, Krooks, Risky G, Droops, and Scamz; they show a provocative side for mendem who like to get hard ‘n wet. Changing it up a little, Chicken And Wedges- from Rook$ 9mm, Scamz, and Drops, speak about pickin’ up girls, and how they will treat them better than their man (watch out). Lastly, We Ride- featuring: Kurse Dre, Droops, Ras Thug and Danielle Ray, tell us how they ride- “blaze’ in piff”…

Definitely a hardcore hip hop mixtape setting the standards for: gangsta swag, using freedom of speech, and bringing together a group of talented people with a message that counts. Look for your copy of DARK DAYS, and bounce to this, when you, on your grind!
