What I'm Listening to Now #2


Well it's been a while since I've done one of these reviews.
I've been pretty busy lately, but here we go.


Lincoln Way Nights - by Stalley
http://mishkanyc.bandcamp.com/album/presents-stalley-lincoln-way-nights-intelligent-trunk-music

Now let me start by saying this album is not for everyone, but if you like Kanye before he went crazy then this will work for you.
If you like lots of bass with mellow samples, and decent lyrics, then once again this is for you.
If I have it in rotation in the Infiniti then trust me its certified, because I don't ride with nothing but that knock.
Don't say I did not warn you if you end up wrecking you system with this album.
I came across this album while scouring the many mixtape blogs that I frequent.
The blog poster said that this was being slept on. I though "Yeah sure, heard it before."
It turns out the poster was right! This one is being slept on. The first three or four times you listen to this album you will not need to hit skip at all. In fact I found that it took me a while to listen to the entire album because I kept replaying the same track over again. You will know what I mean when you listen to it.

Stand out tracks -

01. See the Milq In My Chevy - This was the perfect song to start the album off with because it knocks right   from the start.

02. Slapp - Its a basshead dream, and the hook is done nicely.

06. The Night (feat. Rashad) - This one will fill your ride with bass, and a smooth horn riff along with the hook done by Rashad.

07. Pound - That's the name, and that is what it does. Pound your system into submission. This is my second favorite track on the album after track #1.

09. She Hates the Bass - As soon as you hear Janet's "Making Love in the Rain" and the pumped up bass you know its going to be good. Plus all you guys out there know what he's talking about. My wife knows when I'm coming down the street because she can hear my bass before she can see the car. LoL

11. Assassin (feat. John Mayer) - Beat goes hard, then to top it off John Mayer is singing the hook. Do you need anything more? My 4th favorite track.

 15. Tell Montez I Love Her - He pours his heart into this one, and it shows. You will be singing the riff from the background. My 3rd favorite track.

Recap - Out of 16 tracks 7 make it into heavy rotation for me.

So on the Romey P scale of 1-5 with 1 being don't wast my time, and 5 being white phosphorus. This album rates a 4. Pretty good if you ask me considering it's a free album.

Go check out the link and keep an eye out for the brother because he put in work on this one.

Until next time...........Stay up!

Peace
