FRONT2BACK MIXTAPE REVIEW

The Official Mix tape Breakdown:

Jae Millz/DJ Illwill Presents: Flood Warning

It's been a long time coming. The Harlem emcee that rose from making a name for himself ( and his opponents) by dismantling rappers on SMACK DVD, to his resent signing and success with Lil' Wayne's super group Young money, Jae presents Flood Warning: the Mixtape.

At the start of 2010, this ultra emcee wasted no time letting the industry know that ponchos and umbrellas was simply not enough for this years perdiction. Kickin it off with a verse intitled "rain", Millz instantly shows his versatility and shows no proof to the myth "freestyle rappers can't write real songs." The Young Money artist also shows his razor-sharp skills over DJ Illwill's strategically selected tracks like "I Just Want The Paper", "Popular Demand", and pays homage to his birthplace in "Uptown". With the help of fellow label mates Tyga and Gudda Gudda, the track "Run 4 Mayor" is only proof that Young Money has more to offer than their current front runners Weezy and Drake.

With DJ Illwill(ya wifey favorite DJ) and DJ Rockstar on production, Millzey (he calls himself throughout the album) combined witty-wordplay, superb delivery and on point lines to release a well constructed project.

This mixtape can be found on www.hiphopblog.com and can be heard on The Rocky Williform company patnent pending Mixp3 (in which I highly recommend).

After listening to Flood warning I can say finally an emcee is bringing lyrics back to the game. Millz is a far more well rounded than given credit for and this project clearly displays that. If you're droppin a mixtape this year, get your weight up because Jae Millz is not playin.
