Dead ass real if you're an east coast fiend, fan or whatever and you don't cop DJ Rhude mixtapes you're not really a fan of the east coast. Right now few cats rep the east properly period. That goes for MCs and DJs. Rhude however continues on with the torch lit, lighting the way to the true talent in the east. Where's everyone else? Right there riding the nuts of the South chasing a check with the rest of the country who doesn't reside in the south.

Grafh is hosting so you know. You just know he's about to drop jewels. Not only that he laces the "Incarcerated Scarfaces" beat with ease...like he was walking to the store for some groceries and decieded to spit a verse for the hell of it. "Cop-n-Go" is all head nod and all brooklyn. It's great to see S.A.S up on here too. Eurogang been a problem cats is just mad to figuring that out. I think some of ya'll DJs have your heads so far up your asses you only hear shit music. Rhude is one of the only DJs to play Saigon's "Come On Baby". Why is that? Dude would eat Lil Stain alive with just 8 bars. I fuck with Havoc, on the beats and the bars but "Be There" is all ass cheeks. Dude is saying fuck T.I but shits out this pile of diarehia? The little man caught a brick with this one. The hardest track on the mixtape is "Hit The Deck" by Grafh. Mad energy on this one, def a gang you don't want to fuck with. If you ain't hear "Ledrock" by St Laz you missed some classic shit, cats pushing the beat boundries on this one. I wonder how many cats actualy broke down what Chuck T had to say on "Harder Than You Think"? This is most def the sleeper track of the mixtape. Ali Vegas got a true anthem with "Where I'm From". This track got NYC oozing out the speakers.

There really ain't nothing else to say. It's just good to hear some true blue east coast music without the bullshit. Right now it's heavy rotation on this joint till volume six comes out and we do it all over again. (8/13/07)
