The compilation from Killa Valley was very good. I still haven't decided if it's better than Controversy Sellz, but they are both very good. It has a good collection of artists and great production. Go get yourself a copy.
1) "Lethal Weaponz" C Dubb ft. Messy Marv, Hollow Tip, Kaoz The Assassin
A good beat by Syko. The beat is alright, but fits well for the track. Messy Marv has the perfect style for this track. C Dubb does the hook and has some nice vocals that fit the beat well, his verse is pretty good too. Kaoz and Hollow Tip have good verses, but both are very short. A good track to start the album off with.
2) "What We Do" Young Droop ft. Kaoz The Assassin, Stone Kold
Crazy 8 lays down a sweet beat for this track. Droop starts it off with a clean verse. He mixes his fast paced flows with slower ones. Stone Kold is next and has the same style as his brother Young Droop. Kaoz is only on the hook and does a nice job breaking between Stone Kold and Droop's verses. A clean track overall, one of my favorites on the album.
3) "It's Wartime" Hollow Tip ft. Trifelen
Hollow Tip is dissing C-Lim on this track. Hollow Tip rips up the mic and disses C-Lim hard on this track. If it wasn't for a newer styled beat from Sean T I would think this track from an older Hollow Tip album. A tight flow on this track and Hollow Tip is one of my favorites as he comes hard on the mic on this track.
4) "Soul Taker" Eeks The Loc ft. Young Droop, Dubble J
G Rocc lays down a clean beat for this one. Eeks has a fast paced style on the hook, but I don't really like his style too much. Droop has the first verse and comes with some ok lyrics. I'm feeling Dubble J the most on this track. He rips up the mic and comes hard. I'm feeling this track, but I'm feeling Dubble J the most.
5) "Pimpin' Ain't Dead" Stone Kold
A Stone Kold solo track. Kaoz handles the production for this track and does an ok job. I've heard better flows from Stone Kold, but he still comes with heat. A decent track all around, but nothing special.
6) "Hoggin' & Doggin'" Decoy ft. Brotha Lynch Hung, Kaoz The Assassin, X-Raided
My favorite track on the album. Syko drops a knoccin beat for this track and everyone flows perfectly. Brotha Lynch starts it off with a clean ass verse. Kaoz has the second verse and drops some heat on the mic. X comes next and sounds great to hear him over a dark beat and not the Big Hollis type of beat he has spit over the last few albums. Decoy ends the track with some heat of his own. A tight ass track overall. Bump it!
7) "Perfect Landing" Young Droop
J Doe has some sweet ass production on this track. LP has some sweet vocals on the hook. Droop rips it up and flows perfectly with the beat. Just a tight ass track overall, can't really say more than that.
8) "Tha Mo" Skandoe ft. Dubble J, Network
Rock D lays down another knoccin beat. The flows are sicc on this track. Dubble J rips it up and I'm feeling Skandoe and Network. I'm feeling Dubble J the most, but Sakandoe also spits some heat. Not a low point on this track, one of my favorites.
9) "Chasin' Cheddar" T-Nutty ft. Calico
A very similar verse from T-Nutty as the one he had on "Now Eat," but it's still tight. Sean T lays down a clean beat to flow to. I'm not really feeling Calico that much. It's a clean track minus Calico.
10) "Change" Soda Pop ft. Young Droop
A good beat by Ace and Big Keys. They flow about hoping for a change in life. I'm feeling Droop more than Soda Pop, but they both bring heat. I don't really like the hook all that much with the singing on it. A decent track overall.
11) "Connect the Dot" Young Droop ft. Never, P-Dise
J Doe laces the track up with a good beat. Droop starts it off with a clean ass verse. I'm not feeling the vocals on the hook by LP. I'm not really feeling both Never or P-Dise. Droop has a much better verse than both of the other two. I like the lyrics they all spit, but I'm feeling Droop's style the most.
12) "Gotta Watch My Back" Luxury Rydaz ft. Yukmouth, Levitti
Tank West and Big Hollis did the production for this track. It has a bit of an R&B feel to it. The Luxury Rydaz come with some clean lyrics. Yukmouth is alright and Levitti has those sweet vocals. A good track overall, more of a mix of rap and R&B, but I'm still feeling it.
13) "Ghetto Platinum" THC ft. Young Droop, Sweety
Rock D laces up a nice beat. I'm not feeling Sweety at all. She tries to do some Killa Tay type shit, but fails miserably. THC is alright, but nothing special from them. Young Droop has a good verse and is on the hook. Nothing special on this track, but still worth a listen.
14) "All Bout My Richez" Silas ft. Luni Coleone
Silas starts this track off with an ok verse. This is from Silas' album "a.k.a. Smigg Dirtee." Luni does the production and lays down a good beat. I'm feeling Luni a lot more than Silas on this track. A decent track overall.
15) "Deadly Disciples" Yun Gun ft. Young Droop, Kaoz The Assassin, Dub
OOOOOOHHHHHHHH YEEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! This track is off the hook! The beat is so tight by Yun Gun it gets your head moving. Droop flows about 300 miles an hour. Kaoz has a sweet verse and I like Yun Gun's verse. I'm feeling this track to the fullest. One of my favorite tracks on the album. Bump this one loud!
16) "Fast Livin'" Komain ft. Celly Cel
This is from Komain's debut album "Livewire." A sweet beat by The Scrub. Komain starts it off with a clean verse. Celly Cel comes tight on the hook. He doesn't have a verse, but Komain more than makes up for the lack of a Celly verse. A tight ass track that showcases Komain's lyrical ability.
17) "Do U Want 2 Battle?" S2TheB
A very weird track. The hook is very weird. The production by S2TheB sounds somewhat like a Big Hollis beat, but a lot better. S2TheB comes clean on the mic and I'm feeling his style. The only thing is the hook that I don't like at all. Look past the hook and this is a tight track.
18) "Fallen Soldier" Young Droop
Another Young Droop solo track. Crazy 8 laces him up with a nice slow paced beat. Droop flows about death and fallen homies. The hook isn't that great, but Droop's verses more than make up for it. A nice mix from some of the faster paced tracks that Droop is on.
19) "Killa Valley Kartel" ft. Myth, Trifelen, Hydro, Hurrikain J, Kaoz The Assassin
Myth laces this track up with some tight ass production. This track features almost all of Killa Valley's artists. Everyone comes clean on the mic and fits with the production well. I wish Dubble J would have been on this track, but the five of them still come tight. A good track to showcase Killa Valley's talent.
20) "Now It's On (KVE Mix)" Tech N9ne ft. Lejo
This is the same track as the original except there are some clips from Tech N9ne's track with Droop called "Under Pressure (remix)" mixed in. The beat by DJ Style is so tight! Both Tech and Lejo come tight on the mic. This is one of my favorite Tech N9ne tracks. A nice little bonus track thrown in by Killa Valley. Tight way to end the album.
Overall this is a great compilation. There is a good number of people from various parts of the country and a good variety of producers. A good mix of Killa Valley artists mixed with outside talent. I only wasn't feeling about 3 or 4 of the 20 tracks. A must pick up for everyone.
Rating = 5/5
