The most slept on mixtape DJ of 2007 is back...soon to be your favorite mixtape DJ of 2008. You know Obscene reps for Poe Boy like no other so it's only fitting he drops this and at the right time too. Flo-rida got the radio airwaves on lock as well as the Billboard charts and Rick Ross about to drop new product shortly too. This is what you call skillfully prepared proper promotion.

That Flo-rida "Poe Boy Radio intro" was serious as three naked bitches in a hotel sweet screaming your name; cuts on the hook too...shit man. I've said it in some other reviews, "The Boss" with Rick Ross and T-Pain is a hit. We'll see how the people respond but shit is looking and sounding like a winner. "Extra Nice" is that mixtape music. I don't think I ever heard Gun Play before but this joint is fly on that "your bitch chose me" type shit. I don't know if cats can clear that Curtis Mayfield sample tho. The boy Brisco stays dropping theme music for trap housed all around the country. "New Money" got that thump to it, that shit to rattle your trunk while Brisco lyrically flips a pack or two. "Journey Into Sound" is that slow ride with Rick Ross laying down bars. "Heavy sauerkraut...that's what I'm about"...I can dig it. "Helluva Day" has hit potential too; another Flo-rida joint no less. See right now there's no other MC flowing on a beat like Flo-rida and that's why he's winning; dude is on his MIC game like a vet. On that mixtape shit tho Rick Ross flipped Nas' "No Ideas Original" something fierce. Tracks like this are why I fucked with mixtapes in the first place; the shit just works. The only track that "smelled like hot dog water", to me anyway, was Brisco on "Bitch I'm Me". I was diggin' the horns and shit but that hook annoyed the shit outta me. Now watch all these young cats eat that shit up like fiends. "Killswitch" is my sleeper track. Gun Play again bringing that raw energy to the MIC; this that elbows and asshole music.

One thing is evident after peeping this project for a couple days...Poe Boy got their sound down to a T. The way Obscene presents the music is what keeps me listening tho. Dude flares, cuts and transforms on transitions and as a fan of actual DJ skills I love that shit. He's subtle with it and doesn't over do it...two key elements that every DJ should practice. I know Rick Ross is dropping soon and that’s cool and all but I got my ear and those few $$ in my pocket on Flo-rida and Gun Play to take shit to another level. (1/23/08)
