Team Afficial is here, tuck your chains people. Matter of fact A&R's need to run and hide on this project. I don't think I've seen another cat like Geolani with so many hustles. He has his hands in everything and at the same time he rhymes too. DJ Sure Shot has been here before. Always with an ear to the street.

"I Told Ya'll" is that grizzled vet music. Big Cas and Geolani stay on that crooked teeth grind with the tracks. Smoke Bulga had me buggin out on "Boston Ether" with lines like "little ni99a in these streets you like 4' 6"/ and I'm like Woolridge, Yao Ming and Manute size/ my jewles bling blaow/ I'm in the coup bumpin' old school Troop." That was my shit! Any MC that pulls Orlando Woolridge out in a rhyme is the shit and the Troop line is classic. Young cats don't know nothing bout it. First time I heard Doc OO Johnson but he got flow for days. "King of NY" is head nod material like no other. A name you def be hearing more of is Dramills. Peep him on "They Relate To Me". A cat I've been watching on the low is Montega. He got a unique voice, flow is tight he just needs the right beat.

Sure Shot stays with a tight formula. He got bangin' joints from the likes of Geolani, Cas and Smoke Bulga and he sprinkles in some Jada and Beans, Red Cafe, and Clipse. Shit works well and it's really all about good music. I've heard quite a few of these tracks and what I think cats are realizing is you don't always have to have brand spanking new music to have a bangin' mixtape. (5/12/06)
