Review: Master P – No Limit Chronicles Lost Tape

Master P’s No Limit Chronicles Lost Tape was used to celebrate the release of the 5 part Docu-Series on No Limit Chronicles on BET which aired on July 29, 2020. Super producer BlaqnMild graced P’s album with his high quality production. This was the highly anticipated album of 2020. Master P keeps things fresh by discussing relevant and up to date content with today’s audience.

The Colonel of The Tank shares game about preparation, ownership and education with everyone including professional athletes and entertainers on Need To Know. “If you gettin’ money this the shit you need to know.” He kept real and keeps telling the truth. This is the realest shit Master P ever wrote and ever spoke. Rap is missing real lyricism like this.

This is the shit they don’t want you to know. But if you gettin’ money, this is the shit you need to know.

If you don’t want to hear the truth, then just skip past this one. Keep telling lies because the truth hurts. Musicians signed a deal and then they lie about their net worth. You can’t make Forbes and have a 360 deal. I know Everybody’s trying to get that to get that 80/20 deal like Master P did and is trying to get that Rocawear deal.

Record labels and sporting agencies give us one percent and we think we own the team. Musicians signed a record deal but the money don’t match their dream. Then they put these rookies against each other. They used to be homeboys and now they are trying to to kill each other. Musicians even read when they sign these deals.

This is the realist shit Master P ever spoke about income inequality. “While Richard Branson is having fun flying in space/These artists are out here starving and catching a case”

And when you hot, they gon’ let you use their house
And when you not, that’s the day they kick you out
While Richard Branson is having fun flying in space
These artists are out here starving and catching a case
I don’t know what they did to Mase
But I heard Ciroc gave Puffy some cake
And these hoes and these jewels will be a young nigga’s downfall

Sporting agencies give players $50 million dollars a game and then they lock them into contracts they can’t get out of. This happens a lot in the sports industry. “They giving like 50 mil’ for playin’ roundball/Then throw your name in the paper/And make it easy access for the haters”

Athletes got financial advisors just to pay their bills. Dre hit with Beats and now every rapper wants that deal. How you gonna make 50 mil’ and go kill a nigga? These athletes use too many steroids. Now these athletes want to be rappers. These rappers make a little money and want to be trappers. Buy a phantom and don’t have a house. These niggas backwards from the inside out. And y’all want to be Kobe ’cause he own the team. Rappers are losing to these sponsors and endorsements. Reality shows think they are creating stars but in reality they are making monsters

Why are we negotiating 360 deals when there is so much technology out there today? We could do our own shit. And why you athletes hookin’ up with business people that never even made money before? To watch your money?
Shit don’t make no sense.

Invest like a 1/3 of your money just in case you need that for a rainy day. You feel me? These strip clubs and cars don’t hold no value. That’s a bad investment. You fall down, you get back up. That’s how hustlers do it. And if you could help your people, you help them. You don’t let them starve. You never know who might be the next you. You get a lot of friends when you got money. But when you don’t have shit, ain’t nobody gon’ fuck with you. Don’t let this be you. You’re never too old or too young to be able to make music or do what you want to do. Have you ever seen a rich PD or on-air personality? anybody ever check their salary?

Get your shit in the streets to your people. Get out there and hustle. Find you somebody with an education or a job. Somebody that could help you. Stop fuckin’ with all these broke hoes. Say you hang around a bunch of broke muthafuckas then you broke. You hang around rich muthafuckas then you rich.

Believe is about believing in yourself in order to become successful. Master P says that hard work is the key to success when most people don’t believe in you. Believing in yourself is the positive Master P is trying to convey in this song. He says that hard work is the key to success when most people don’t believe in you.

Super producer BlaqnMild graced this song with his high quality production and modernized beats. That is how he makes the song sound relevant and modern with contemporary culture. The Ice Cream Man and BlaqnMild stay reinventing themselves.

Peewee Longway and Master P explain how they get they hustle on with their song Cooked Up. Peewee Longway got the hook up and so does Master P.

Still Remember” is another classic about the struggle and the pain. The song explains how to appreciate success and not let success go over your head. The Ice Cream Man stays reinventing himself. Blaqnmild brings out the rhythm for the song. He brings some flavor to modern contemporary culture.

I rate this album 5/5*****!

Review: Lady Wray – Queen Alone

Nicole Wray returns again as Lady Wray for 2016 on Big Crown Records! Leon Michels lent a hand in producing some of the tracks. His signature style and sound in terms of production are heard throughout the album. The gritty rnb sound represents the sound of this album.

Nicole Wray does it again on Do It Again! She sings to her hearts content straight from her soul. The horns fanfare set an ultimatum for this single being one of the high points with her singing. It represents the breathtaking soul saving return of Lady. Anyone notice how the drum production is heavy? Classic old soul meets gritty rnb sound on Do It Again. One has to wonder if Do It Again has an emotional back-story. Do It Again is about a failed relationship that Nicole is willing to get back into. Complexities of love are difficult to understand not to mention staggering.

The guitar solo performed for In Love is beautiful! The acoustic rhythmic guitar used is simply beautiful. Classic soul meets the new neo soul sound on the song In Love. Her singing on this song sounds very similar in comparison to Ella Fitzgerald. Nicole’s in love so don’t mess it up. Love is not a good thing to ruin. Complexities of love are difficult for many to understand.In Love seems very similar to a Bill Withers song.

Smiling is an instant feel good anthem serving as a reminder to keep our heads up and to keep a smile on our faces in order to deal with whatever life has planned for us described by Big Crown Records and Nicole Wray. Leon Michels & Thomas Brenneck contribute in terms of production. Bubblegum pop meets gritty classic soul.

Make Me Over is a down and out tune. A lusty tale. Nicole finds herself asking for a little help so she can get a break from being strapped for cash promising to take care of her man as soon as her check comes in. She lets her guard down during the duration of the song. Her expensive taste leads to empty pockets. Make Me Over is a gritty soul song.

Underneath My Feet is a happy love song about how Nicole Wray let her guard down when she let a man sweep Nicole underneath her feet by his love. It’s another gritty soul song.

Guilty is a Nicole Wray solo based off of her own life experiences. She wrote Guilty about her brother being incarcerated which is also what this song is based on. Nicole missed her brother during his sentence of incarceration. She wrote this song herself. A bluesy chorus represents the vocals of Guilty.

Let It Go was a great way to end this album. Let It Go deals with how to let go of the internal drama in your life. It’s better to let the drama go. We all need to let go and move on in life.

I rate this album 5/5*****!!

Review: Lady Wray – Do It Again/In Love

This 45 single is the case otherwise known. Leon Michels lent a hand in producing these two tracks. His signature style and sound in terms of production are heard throughout the single. The gritty rnb sound represents the sound of this single.

Review: Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble – From the Stairwell

The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble – From the Stairwell is another stellar album from The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble. This album is one of their darker album. This is a dark jazz album filled with dark ambient sounds. Each song is filled with atmospheric music and is kind of similar to cinematic orchestra. Fans of cinematic dark jazz and dark ambient music will enjoy this album.

All Is One is about how roads never end. You are showered in loneliness. You’re by yourself. Think about being lost in an endless void. The song All Is One is one of the darker songs on the album.

Giallo is similar to the chamber music of the 18th century, 19th century, and 20the century. You can hear the echoing chambers even with the silence in the background. The sound reverberates in both speaker channels. You can tell this by listening to the instrumentation.

White Eyes a beautiful and masterful viola section behind a set of violins which help set the mood for not only this song but the whole album.

Cortard Delusion has a dark mysterious feeling and instrumentation which helps set the foreboding mood. The steamy atmosphere gives into the mysterious foreboding feeling and vibes this song has. A bassoon and a set of viola are used.

I rate this album 5/5*****!
