First off, let me say I’m not real familiar
with Will Vill, but after a couple of
spins of this mixtape I have to say I will
be checking for Will Vill’s album when it
drops. Will Vill enlists DJ Noodles
to bring his Hood World Order mixtape and
impresses. This mixtape has the same
formula as the majority of mixtapes out
today. Get one of the more recognized DJs
to host your tape, with the dramatic
screaming of your name, very little if any
actual mixing, and beat jacking from current
or past beats that were hits to help keep
the listeners attention.
NYC rappers no longer garner the same pull
or respect they use to, but there are a few
in the ranks coming up that still keep heads
checking for NYC. Will Vill is one of those
rappers. He’s been in the game for a minute
now, and has released music going back to
2000, but for whatever reason hasn’t broken
out to the masses. This may change with the
release of Hood World Order.
Will Vill has that DIY mentality that all
successful artists from the indie ranks can
appreciate, and his flow and confidence on
the mic rides the beats with the best of
them, but his rhymes stand out and make you
take notice. There are a number of standout
tracks on Hood World Order, with the first
being “Times Up 2010”. Heads will recognize
this track from the legend OC, and Will pays
respect to OC on this track. Will puts the
industry on blast, and lets them know that
he’s not your run of the mill rapper, and
will take out any sucka rapper anytime,
anyplace.
“Everyday Cash” is another stand out track.
Will borrows 50 Cent’s recent “I Get
Money” beat and flips the rhymes to show he
has that dream of making that money, while
at the same time trying to bring some
substance to the game. “Wish They Would” is
another track that will grab the listener’s
attention. Most will recognize this beat
from Master P, but Will rides this
beat and spits some gully rhymes wishing
suckas to step to him. “William
Jefferson” grabs you with the help of
the one of the most recognized beats on this
mixtape a la Biggie Smalls “Who Shot
Ya”. Will does justice to this track and
makes it known that Mr. William Jefferson is
moving on up.
“No Trust” is another track that’s going
pull the listeners in. Will’s rhymes on
this track paint that picture of the
struggle, and the tale of keeping your
friends close, but your enemies closer by
stating “even your homies will turn your
flesh into ground beef.” Bob Marley’s
sampled hook on this track fits the rhymes
and vibe perfectly.
“Reflecting” gives the listener some insight
into Will’s take on the state of Hip-Hop and
the world. Again the beat is the perfect
backdrop for the rhymes Will is spitting,
and he rides the track with the charisma of
a seasoned artist. “Reign Supreme” will
grab the listener’s attention and keeps it.
Will borrows Jay Z’s “Public Service
Announcement” track and spits them rhymes
that lets you know he’s ready to take is
rightful place atop the throne.
This mixtape has beats, rhymes, and a little
something for everyone. Cop it at
