Nase Felon - Nase's Lane
Nase’s
Lane is the latest work of Ill Figgaz Ent. own. This is one of the best CD’s to
come out on the Shore. His resume is strong just as his bar. How many from the
Shore can say they was on 106 & Park? To top it off how many can say they
were on there and battling Loaded Lux. Throw them L’s up after you read the
review, then hit the link and judge for yourself. What yall think?

I give them a S.P.E.K.T.R.U., One thing for sure, I haven’t heard any one that
Nase sounds like. I would have given him the whole S.P.E.K.T.R.U.M. but
although his style stands out, his songs doesnt hit me to hard. Lyricism I
gave them a S.P.E.K.T.R.U., Now I like his wordplay. I laugh to myself at some
bars like, he thought of that dumb ass shit. Though that dumb is in a good way.
He puts his words together witty and crafty and it is guaranteed he will make
me laugh a few times in every song from the things he thinks of. Creativity, I
gave him a S.P.E.K., His originality and lyricism are on point. I could see him
getting a lot more creative with his song choices. I think he has the ability
to write a song backwards as Nas did, or write describing as if he is a gun, a
car, crack, or something. His lyricism and originality will definitely bring
out a creative song.
Young
Langston- Originality: Nase received a S.P.E.K.T., as always in this, we
look to see how many tracks were original tracks. None the less Nase has a flow
that can basically get on any track and ride it, Skills. Lyricism he was given
a S.P.E.K.T.R. every since he was on 106&Park everyone has always
known Mr. Felon to have punch lines. Now add that with his ability to tell
stories through his lyrics and what a MC you have. Creativity Nase was
also given a S.P.E.K.T.R this was a very well put together mix tape, one of
those that you can pop in and Ride to. Over all Nase Felon is a Young
Vet in the Eastern Shore Hip Hop game. From Ill Figgaz Ent., to his own
personal brand now Log'd.. Nase will continue to make noise.

North Starr- The Illuminati Project
The
Illuminati Project was a controversial. This is one of many CD’s dropped by
North Starr throughout his career. This CD differs from all other CD’s we

I rate him this high. No, It is because his originality stands out. Sounding
like no other, as well as original tracks, hooks, etc... Lyricism I gave him a
S.P.E.K.T.R., Lyrically he has wordplay and a vocabulary that is far from
basic. His content is above and beyond the normal that we are used to hearing.
Creativity, I gave him a S.P.E.K.T.R.U.M., Hearing this CD and how it is
constructed with features from his team, as well as industry artists is a
strategic and creative move. Me, personally I love this CD. Though my favorite
CD from his is the one called Been-A-Gee, the Illuminati Project is in my top 3.
CD after CD, magazine after magazine, DVD magazine after DVD magazine, he
crowned himself king and the streets support it.

Starr gets a S.P.E.K.T.R using way more original tracks. Being that North Starr

see the truth of these stories talked about in these lyrics. I've seen the
growth in this category. Creativity received a S.P.E.K.T.R. as always "The

North Starr will always be a LOCAL LEGEND who helped pave the way.

a couple song choices. Lyricism I give him a S.P.E.K.T.R., I like his lyrical
ability to play with his flow utilizing different styles. His lyrical content
is a plus as well. Creativity he received a S.P.E.K.T.R., I feel as if he came
very creative, especially utilizing industry beats with his own songs to it. It
shows his ability to do his song over main artist’s tracks and do it just as
good.

lyrics. Creativity Jae Russ received a S.P.E.K.T. even though when you use industry

island of his own. And with his style, in mainstream he still will stand out. Lyricism
I gave him a S.P.E.K., though he has originality and the style to keep you
listening, I feel as if his wordplay still has so much room for growth. He is
still young so I know his vocabulary and wordplay will soar as time moves...

track from Rock, to pop, to hip hop and any other genre you care to name. With

I give him an S. I know it sounds harsh, but I feel as if there was a lack of
originality meaning he just flipped the songs of others. Using others tracks doesn’t
take away from originality, but using their hooks does. Lyricism I Give him a
S.P.E.K.T.R.. Lyrically T9 is a beast and one of the best lyrically in his
region. He has word play and delivery. Creativity, I give him a S.P.. Though he
flipped others song while utilizing the same hook for the beats, He had
creativity in his own verses. I would like to hear a T9 CD constructing his own
hooks, and I know he will have one of the highest reviews thus far. He built a
brand and has a following. I just hope he gives them more of him and less of
others. Meaning building his own songs, regardless of the beat. Mr SwaggaRyte
Get ya Get ya swaggaryte, reps and reps well. I was extra harsh on him because
meeting him when he was in highschool and he was hot then, My expectations of
him is super high.
Young
Langston- Originality, I gave him a S.P.
understanding the concept of what the mix tape was titled.... I still felt using the all industry tracks
took away from the originality. Reminded me a lil of when 50cent and G-Unit
were making songs out of every ones beats back in their mix tape grind. Lyricism,
I have him S.P.E.K.T.R. in this category. T9 has come a long way with his
concepts and word play. I've seen the growth. Not everyone on the mix tape help
their own lyrically. T9 def held it
down. Creativity, I gave him a S.P.E. in his creativity. Def was a good
look using a different DJ from the area in DJ Troy Troni... even though
industry tracks were used maybe if he switched up the format of the songs
but used the same track it would have added more creativity. Over all the mix tape was to me a Good mixtape. T9 says he's more
of a business man than a rapper but I feel on a Lyrical level he has def been
working on his Craft. Being a Boss .... Mr. SwaggaRyte himself def is on the
grind and one of the hardest working artist/CEO's on the Eastern Shore. His
grind will lead him to success!

way they sound pretty good together. Reppin Delaware with a top Delaware Dj, DJ

I give them a S.P.E., Reason being is though they had a nice vibe, their style
is a further down south style. Dealing with artists and fans from all over,
downsouth see us as up north and up north see us as down south, so I look for a
distinct sound that sounds like neither north or south, or I look for a sound
that intertwines both. Lyricism I gave them a S.P.E., Yeah I am a bit hard on
lyricism. I look for the word play as well as the vocabulary. Neither really
captivated me. Creativity, I gave him a S.P.E.K.T., They constructed the CD
well and wasn’t all over the place but kept a vibe all the way through.
Young
Langston- Originality I gave the fellas a S.P.E.K. nothing against Trap
Music but I feel you have to have a sound that sets you apart. A sound that's
going to make a Rec Exec. or A&R say ok we need to check this crew out! You
have to balance your mixtape out with different style music. For lyricism was a
S.P.E.K. once again like I said in my first review.. I never compare lyrics to
other local artist, I compare to artists in the industry because that's where
Local artsist are trying to go. Certain tracks both fellas went in but Not
majority. Creativity was given S.P.E.K.T. the mixtape flowed well and having a
DJ such as DJ Ruckus who loves the art of the DJ... also the features that were
picked fit very well... Overall a good TRAP MUSIC mixtape but must understand who
you will be compared to.. not locals but INDUSTRY ARTIST

Revelation is the latest work of Kindle. This is a gospel CD, yet he did very
well in capturing his faith and was very convincing. We just wished he was more
prepared when sending us his music for review, meaning atleast an album cover.

for going outside of the norm in hip hop and mixing gospel music with it. Yet,

Originality I gave him a S.P.E.K.T.R… Meaning he did hip hop differently
(though it is many hard core gospel artists out there) he still captured the
message of what he stands for. Lyrics, I gave him a S.P.E… I feel even though
it is gospel music he coulda played with his style more, it was almost like a
repeated flow. Creativity I gave him a S.P.E.K.T.. reason being is because he
stepped outside of the norm with no fear just faith. Yet, I heard creativity I
just didn’t hear creativity to convince me to give him the whole word. I was
extra hard on this review because I look for complete hotness steppin outside
of the norm.
Young
Langston-
I gave Kindle a S.P.E.K.T.R for Originality. It's not everyday you hear
a Gospel Mixtape like this. Each song has content and Kindle has a sound of his
own. Being a Fan of lyrics no matter what stylle of music I gave Kindle a
S.P.E.K.T.R.U.M for Lyricism. I feel even though he is a Gospel rapper he has
word play as well as puch lines that have you waiting to hear what's next. For
Creativity I gave Kindle a S.P.E.K. the instrumentals used on the mixtape I
feel took away from some of the songs. At times hearing gun shots in the back
ground of a Gospel track can throw some people. Over all I believe that Kindle
has a bright future in his lane. Hard core Gospel Rap is the new thing in
Gospel music and for Kindle the sky will be Limitless!

content reflected his life in many ways. Creativity he got a S.P.E., though the
CD was well constructed, to me he doesn’t stand out as paving his own lane or
creating that Delaware sound. Overall at first I was impressed. Though after
listening to it a few times it didn’t have the same affect, yet this CD was actually much better than I
expected..
Young
Langston- I gave Yung Milli a S.P.E.K.T.R. his whole style and
concept for this mixtape is Original. Taking the route of not talking about
Trap Music and speaking on what he did different because of his kids. For
lyricism I gave Milli a S.P.E.K.T. his delivery and flow where good but he some
what lacked the word play or punch lines that he may need at the next level. Creativity
Yung Milli recieved a S.P.E.K.T.R. his sound and beat choice where different
and worked for what he was trying to get across. Not using a lot of beats from
the industry help a lot. Over all Yung Milli having a Mixtape with a concept

feel as if his topics can be elevated. I was into the tracks, lyrics, and structure, but not to much the topic. Though the topics was definitely entertaining I couldn’t really vibe to it myself.
That’s his lane to entertain I guess. If so, great job! Lyricism I gave him a
S.P.E.K.T.R.U., He is definitely a lyrical horse. I couldn’t give him the
complete word, because it didn’t fully impact me, but it came close, maybe next time. Creativity,
I gave him a S.P.E.K., Auto tunes was used several times, and I feel that taking
his own lane just may be best. Auto tunes took away from #431002 rather than add on to it. Maybe it
wasn’t auto tunes but the mix down. Scootie J is one of the best, if not the
best producer from the Shore, get his mixdown perfected and wow....

word play and confidence in his punch lines to take it to a few artist in the
industry. S.P.E.K.T. was given for creativity. Having a producer like Scootie
J gives C-Mack his own sound. Yet, I don’t know if auto tunes was on or it was
the mix down. If it was the mix down he would get a S.P.E.K.T.R.U.. Over all C-Mack has what it takes to pave his own lane in the

Reality- I
feel that S.P.E.K.T.R. was perfect in the originality category. His sound and
style differs from any other artist. That alone stands out to me. For Lyrics I
gave a it a S.P. I am a fan of lyricism, and though he has head boppin music,
it lacks tremendously lyrically. Luckly, it doesn’t take lyricism to sell
albums now a days. Though I will say, that he is better lyrically than most
artists out with a major deal. Creativity, I gave him a S.P.E.K.. Though the CD
was creative, I feel DJ Tavonne may have took away from it more than adding on
to it. Tavonne is the #1 party DJ in the region, though at one time he was a
good Cd host, I just didn’t fell he captured it on The Appetizer. Next time try
Scootie J or Ill Kid… Overal I think Fev can make it in the industry. His style
and swag stands out, his following is loyal, his grind is consistent, and his
team is behind him. On the Eastern Shore he is hands down the hardest working
artist. Don’t believe me, well noone performs as much as he does. “Fev, time to
start making party promoters kick out”….
Young Langston- I gave him S.P.E.K.T.R. in originality because he stands alone in his own lane in Hip Hop. His style, His look as an artist definitely makes him original. Now being a fan of lyricisism is my reason for giving him a S.P.. His lyrical content was judged on a level compared to true lyricist. Being that DJ Tavonne is the hottest party DJ around,when you think of mix tape DJ’s he doesn’t bring out the energy a DJ should such as a DJs like DJ Drama or even locals such as DJ Ill Kid or DJ Jumpoff. As always I will support Eastern Shore artists, and Fev has definitely been putting in work for the Shore. His following is crazy, his performances are live, and he is branding S.Y.G.U. Entertainment…

He did a well job creativity wise. Though I feel as if it isn’t to original,
the structure of the songs took alittle thought and wasn’t just thrown
together.… Overall I think Semore can make it in the industry, yet it may be
hard finding a real deal or someoene to give him the outlet needed, meaning his
sound mimmicks Young Gunz old style.. If he is given that outlet, he will flood
