1)OutLaw Music- The sample on this intro and the beat just sounds epic! Vice Gripp comes in with his sick fast flow and this track is just sounding epic right now lol. Sick hook just adds the icing to this track. Vice just has this presence on any track he’s on that just can’t be compared to anything, he’s on another level. Perfect way to kick this record off. 10/10
2)Slick Talkin ft Soulja C and Tommy Gunz- Beat slightly reminds me of “Knuck if you buck”. Slower flower by Vice in the beginning of the track before speeding it up, I cant get enough of that flow. Sick hook to back it up. Next up is Soulja C. I became a big Soulja fan after hearing him on “Scumbag Original”. I actually enjoying the verse better than the first. A type of track that’s just getting better and better as it progresses. Next is Tommy Gunz, Tommy’s a veteran of the Miami scene and he doesn’t disappoint on this track. He’s got a unique sound. He’s also got a great mixtape on www.PsykoSouth.com yall need to download now. 9/10
3)Keep it Wickit- Real hyped up type of track. A good club banger. That fast slow shines again on this one along with a real catchy hook. This is the type of track that just makes me wanna knock the shit outta some bitch ass nigga. Again he shows a mic presence that just cant be touched. Cant wait to see him live on Friday. Great track 9/10
4)Losin My Mind ft Hopsin- A creepy sounding banger. A more slowed down verse by Vice but it flows perfect on this beat. I don’t know who produced this track, im gonna guess Hopsin cuz it sounds similar to some of his other tracks. Hopsin takes the 3rd verse on this one and he delivers. Classic Hopsin sound, flow and lyrical content. Another awesome track. 9/10
5)Go Hard or Go Home ft Leezy and D Cinn- “When I went to write this verse I grabbed a lighter instead of pen, welcome to the Psyko South yeah this is where the menace begins” that line definitely sets the mode for this track. Vice’s fast flow really reminds me of some old Tommy Wright, or K Rock. Nice epic sounding beat with a good hook to back it up. Leezy takes the 2nd verse. My first time hearing him but I like his sound, he kinda falls out of beat once or twice though. Next is D Cinn outta Memphis. I like his sound, nice presence, flow on point and good lyricism. Another sick track 8.5/10
6)Under City Lights- Nice 90’s vibe to this track with a more old school flow. Showing some good versatility on this one and you cant go wrong when you’re shouting out the late and great Pimp C. Awesome fucking track, just wished it was longer 10/10
7)Contemplatin Homicide ft Big Rela and That Dude Jasper- This track has a nice Detroit sound to it and when the verse starts the beat has a nice switch up. That switch up along with Vice Gripps flow definitely got me leaning hard right now. Big Rela up next, as expected he impresses with his verse and a little extra confidence on this track, my favorite verse of the track. That Dude Jasper has a nice flow, definitely something different that what you usually hear. 9/10
8)I Am- Love the horns on this beat. Definitely a horror crunk sound like Vice says. I’d love to see a music video to this track. Definitely a fun track. 9/10 (Sorry the song reviews seem shorter right now but im gone right now and im just vibin and enjoying the cd lol)
9)Letter to My Enemies ft Mr. Rage- Oh shit, a real creepy sound to this track, lovin it lol. Vice just lyrically tearin people up on this track. Real sick verse from Rage that fits perfectly to the vibe of this track. Sick fucking flow from Vice and Rage and an awesome fuckin beat. 10/10
10)Natural Born Hustlahz feat Soulja C, Tommy Gunz- Beat has that hood anthem feel to it with a nice sample for the hook. Track a nice feel to it. Soulja C kicks it off and really keeps that vibe. Dyin to find out when Soulja C’s droppin a tape. Tommy Gunz is 2nd, his verse reminds me of “Scumbag Anthem” off of “Scumbag Original“. Sick flow by Tommy Gunz. Next is Vice and while the other verses were great his verse puts the others to shame with his flow. Awesome track 10/10
11)Backdraft (Who Aint Got Lyrics)- Starts with samples of various interviews on the state of hip hop. Again some sick horns in this beat with the finger snaps and a catchy hook. Amazing first verse to this one that definitely shows why Psyko South is dominating Florida right now in the underground. All you new rappers need to listen to this track and take notes. 10/10
12)Clap Me ft Czar- I just don’t know how to explain it. This track is just awesome. The beat gives it an awesome feel and with Vice’s fast flow it just pushes it to an epic level. This is gonna be a song I bump in my Lincoln for a long time and the use of Gross beat on this track just sounds incredible. Czar takes the 3rd verse. Never heard him before but I gotta admit he’s good but not as good as some of the other features. He doesn’t take anything away from the track though. Incredible track 10/10
13)Happy Ending ft J.M. Blakk- I like the pad in the beginning of the track. Tracks got a nice laid back feel with Vice Gripp and JM Blakk trading bars throughout the track, something you just don’t hear anymore. I wish more people did tracks like this. it’s the type of track that’s really letting me enjoy these shrooms right now. 10/10
14)Never Surrender feat Squire Zama, Lindon Ramsey- Oh shit I love the 8 bit sound in the very beginning of the track and with the singing in the hook it kinda reminds me of Big Moe(RIP). Squire Zama has a real sick verse in the track, the lisp just adds more personality to his sound. Vice Gripp with that sick fast flow in the second verse. This sounds like a track you’d hear in a movie. Pure fire 10/10
15)So Many Dead and Gone- Really feelin the guitars in this beat. A great RIP track with a sick flows and great lyricism from vice especially the 3rd verse. One of my favorite track off the cd next to Never surrender. 10/10
16)Wake Up Dead ft Big Rela- The final song on this record. Awesome bluesy guitar on this track with a real laid back beat. A different song from Vice but just as good as everything else if not better. Reminds me of something off of Everlast’s first album. The hook by Big Rela actually hypnotizes me lol. A real deep sounding track. 10/10
Overall this is a definate must have!!! 10/10. Another amazing record out of the Psyko South camp. Great production, perfect arrangement, and amazing flow from Vice Gripp. Mark my words, within a year Psyko South is gonna blow the fuck up and they deserve it. These guys have been putting in work for 10 years and their time is long overdue. Dont sleep on this record or anything out of the Psyko South camp.
