DJ SOLO - J LEE
|
|
The Jackson 5 couldn't have said it any better
with their 70's album cut "Goin' Back To Indiana!"
This week I'm gonna review J. Lee "The Mixtape"
mixed by Richmond, Indiana's own DJ Solo from
WECI. After poppin' the cd in my car deck, I
soon found out that this isn't a mix cd but a cd with
six original cuts by Muncie, Indiana's own J. Lee. Now
I'm not claiming to be one who's skills involve A&R
work, so I immediately asked for help from our own
Nasty-Nes to help give his feedback on the six
cuts featured on "The Mixtape." Cut #1, "Step In The
Club" lives up to its' title & more or less an uptempo,
club & bounce joint. Cut #2, "Last One Laugh'n" didn't
catch our ears at all, although J. Lee does say on
this track, "I spit the hardest rap burnin' mics!"
Hmmmm, I don't think so. Cut #3 "Nuisance" leans more
on the gangsta lyrical tip & I think cause he used
Nas' "Made U Look" beat, it made me listen! Cut
#4, "If You Think" has some potential as this cut is
hilarious at times & gives props to the female
anatomy. "If you thick & you know it, clap your ass,"
says J. Lee. Cut #5, "D.C." gives nuttin' but props to
J. Lee's hometown Dodge City & after peepin'
this, no doubt J. Lee is reppin' DCM until the
day he dies! Cut #6, "Known In The Middle" is probably
the best cut overall. It's got that underground flava,
his lyrics are well delivered & comes across hard &
sounding pissed off but you can feel his vibe on this.
Midwest is in the house as this track gets our thumbs
up! So there it is an A&R look into J.Lee's "The
Mixtape!"... DJ Solo continues to lock ish down in his
hometown on WECI, Fridays from 10PM-12AM & on
Saturdays 4PM-6PM. Solo gets props for being on point
by giving us feedback on the reg on new joints he's
feeling or not feeling & by gettin' his playlists to
us weekly on time! He's about to be a daddy soon so we
wish him & his babys momma a healthy delivery. You can
reach out to Solo if you wanna shout him out or get
