Free Music Notes for Young Black Brotha
Free Music Review: Mac Dre (RIP) Plus Khayree Equals One Hella Lethal Combo
Hit: 5 Stars
Mac Dre drops his debut, 1993's Young Black Brotha, now known as a yay area classic, and for good reason. Khayree provides a bangin' backdrop for Mac to drop his rhymes. Lyrically, Dre has a good flow and complements the beats very well, and even though the subject matter deals mostly with hustling, sex, gang life, and survival in the hood, he executes it very well making for a great listen. This album is definitely a soundtrack for life in Cali (especially in the bay). Since his affiliation with the Romper Room Gang in Vallejo, Ca (he references his affiliation many many times here) had him caught up in the system, many of the songs were rapped over the phone in the pen and timed to the beats. His rapping over the phone in joints like "Im N Motion" and others adds well to his street cred. I love the twangy G-Funk of "California Livin'" which gives off a sunny rider vibe. "2 Hard 4 The F----- Radio" is mad ill with another cool rider style funky beat, and ill flows showing why he ain't on the radio dials. Khayree takes time to create one of his great instrumentals in what else "A Piece From Khayree," a nice laid-back guitar ridden beat. He proves here to be a versatile producer, and would be sought after time after time from here on. Another phone rap is on the rider anthem "My Chevy" where he talks about "Chev strikin'" a bay area classic. My only criticism is the annoying "radio" interruption in the middle of "My Chevy," but in the second half, homie Mac Mall comes in to drop some game. If you like fun gangsta rap with bass heavy g-funk and mob beats, this album will NOT disappoint. Mac Dre and Khayree created a cult following for good reason. This album is tailor-made for bay area fans, but anyone on the west coast (or anyone period) will appreciate this banger. Mac Mall's Illegal Business? from 1993 has a similar vibe and is also essential bay area game for ya to bump.
