Tha Brotha Chilly T is from Saginaw Michigan, and His raps do have a grimey gritty feel to them. Tha Brotha Chilly T sounds like he came from the East Coast be it New Jersey, New York, or Pennsylvania. Well Tha Brotha Chilly T is from Saginaw, Michigan. Tha Brotha Chilly T is quite grimey coming out of Saginaw. But then again Saginaw is a grimey place. So just understand him being from there. A huge old school influence is prevalent on this cassette tape. So for those of you who will complain about the bad quality sounding shit, this album’s not for you.

Real Thang is about how real Tha Brotha Chilly T explains. Tha Brotha Chilly T comes hard as a jail cell on this one.

Bending Cornas is about how Tha Brotha Chilly T is Bending Cornas in his jeep. He heads up to the spot. What does he see? Audi’s, Benz, Jeeps, and Cadillacs. The bass is pounding heavily from the sub-woofers. Tha Brotha Chilly T gets out to spit a little game to everyone. All of a sudden, police show up. It’s time to leave the spot. Tha Brotha Chilly T sends out flyers to promote for his upcoming show. Tha Brotha Chilly T is just “Bendin Cornas” in his jeep. Bending Cornas is funky track with heavy percussion over a hodgepodge of various samples and breakbeats.
The percussion is super tight on Liven Low! So are the vinyl scratches. Back in the days, Tha Brotha Chilly T was a young broke man clocking dope and selling narcotics. Friends, money, and enemies were made in the process of him being a narcotics distributor. There were casualties.

The 5-0 are on his case but Tha Brotha Chilly T is not having that. Now we are back on the streets. But however Tha Brotha Chilly T is eventually apprehended by police and booked in jail. After a debt to society, Tha Brotha Chilly T is eventually released into society.

Blunts, Bank, and Bizness is about the world of accounting, business, and cigarette blunts. Bank is all about getting that money. All about making that GTA. In the world of accounting and finances are loan sharks along with shady bad business practices. Of course an accounting job is no easy task.
Tha Brotha Chilly T went hard from 1990 to 1993. No one could fuck with him on Boom Records (Boom! Records)! The Brotha Chilly T was so underrated in his time! We need more brothers like him in the watered down flourished, cookie cutter rap game right now.
I rate this album 5/5*****!!
