Review #1,742: King Kezzy "Blast From The Past: Tha EP"

Reviewed on 8.07.2017 (Review #1,742)

Keepin’ these reviewz comin’, I’m hopin’ to hop back into my old CD reviewz afta this… This one’s King Kezzy, outta Shreveport, with Blast From The Past: Tha EP, released on Crown Gang Music Group. This CD’s cover and theme has a Back To The Future theme to it… Start Time: 7:23 PM | End Time: 7:40 PM

Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> “ iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> “ iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “Tha Delinquent (Intro)”
>>> A Back To The Future intro, here… Hearin’ you rap right afta and it sounds nice… I’m diggin’ how tha beat’s kinda hypnotic like as if it was a time warp or somethin’… Nice job, Kezzy; keep it goin’… My Rating: 4.0

02. “That’s How I’m Comin’” feat. Yung Milz

Only one “M” for tha “Comin’”, right? >>> More of tha Back To The Future intros, here… Kinda likin’ tha hyped-up beat intro/beat, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice; can’t complain… It sounds a lil’ Internet-undaground, which can be good; can’t complain… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and tha energy’s here; definitely nice… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ like some good shit from tha undaground… If this was 10 years ago, I’d be like, “OMG, just diggin’ tha undaground vibes, here; can’t wait ta talk to dem!” Now, I’m a lil’ more laidback but best-believe I can’t wait to connect wit err-body! Only thang iz, I mainly be in BR… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3^rd verse and it’s pretty nice, too; consistent energy at its finest… My Rating: 4.2

½time: Only two tracks for tha ½time, so far, with a 4.1-rated CD; dope…

03. “Words From Kusanagi”
>>> It’s 21 seconds of a Back To The Future intro and now, a hot lil’ beat to rap on… Hearin’ you rap and I’m diggin’ tha hustle wit tha “stash in they sock;” good shit… Not too bad, overall, wit how you sound on this… Honestly, it sounds like a touch betta than tha average, mainstream-soundin’ rap shit out these dayz… My Rating: 3.7

04. “You Deserve Dat” feat. King Squigg, PA Tha Villain & Yung Milz

>>> Keepin’ these intros comin’… A five-minute track, here, with all these features; let’s see how this gon turn out… Tha beat sounds a lil’ laidback, here; how will this go? Hearin’ tha hook and it’s decent; just an average song, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds nice ta hear, I guess? Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ okay; nothin’ really ta say, here… And, tha 3^rd verse’s soundin’ a lil’ betta wit tha “pit” and tha “snakes;” not bad… Keepin’ it movin’ with a 4^th verse, here; not too bad… Prolly too many people on this track; seems a lil’ too long fa me, overall… If I wanted it to be long, there had to be a bunch of standout moments, instead of just decent moments… My Rating: 3.2

05. “Strap Out” feat. King Squigg

>>> Endin’ it with anotha intro from tha movie, here… After 48 seconds, here comes tha track… Not too anticipated fa this lower-quality audio… Tha 1^st verse just decent; nothin’ ta say… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s tryna be catchy but it ehh… Tha 2^nd verse woulda been nice if tha beat woulda been a jigg/faster-soundin’ beat with betta quality in tha audio… As far as this, it just goes in an ear and out tha otha… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ like anotha decent verse; nothin’ much ta say… Tha audio quality just annoys me, here; coulda been betta… And, an outro from Back To The Future… My Rating: 2.7

Overall: Thought it was off to a good start and then, tha quality kinda slipped… Either way, nice job, overall; keep it movin’…
