'King Dilla' Mixtape Review

Femdot released a well produced, complex, and thought out mixtape entitled "King Dilla' before the year was over. The theme was set for this mixtape; being a king and ruling the rap game.

Antebellum  -                  
"For girls who said I was too dark, I guess by status didn't give me light."
I thought Antebellum was a great and strong start to this mixtape. Femdot was clever on word play with his track ; rapping about getting ready for war hence the song title, Antebellum. The production and lyrics were on point. Femdot emphasized his brilliant bars on this well produced track by, DJ Chi. "Antebellum" showed that Femdot is versatile. Not only can he spit on a soft tempo beat, but he can spit on a ear bleeding, bass lit beat. 

Sovereign - 
   I enjoyed the second track, "Sovereign" as well. Again, Femdot's word play is brilliant: he's repetition of King Dilla through this track, which is the name of his project, and the definition of sovereign means ruler.  The production which was produced by DJ Chi, was great as well.

Kinglish -
" I'm the man nigga, King Dilla gotta ring to it. This that don't give a chick a ring music"
"Kinglish" which I think is a made up word, is one of my favorite songs on this mixtape. When I say the lyrics are on point....It's on POINT! Femdot went off for 40 days and 60 nights. Femdot spit numerous amounts of bars on a DJ Chi produced beat. To the flow, to lyrics, to production, "Kinglish" was well executed.

Top Gawd-
"Top Gawd" was the first single of the mixtape. I remember when this track came out, I didn't like it at all. The record kind of grew on me but it's definitely one of my least favorite songs on "King Dilla".

Energy-
..... I really didn't like "Energy"......I just love how Femdot tried something different. He showed a little bit of his singing ability and he gave a little harmony during the chours. A+ for effort Femdot.

PSN-
"I know you gotta roommate, hit me up when she not there."
Now "PSN" was my favorite song on mixtape. He gave me PartyNextDoor vibes and lord knows I LOVE PartyNextDoor. Definitely a big shout out to DJ Chi! I knowed Femdot's vocals on his song, then I did on "Top Gawd" maybe because it didn't seem forced. His vocals on "PSN" were very subtle. I was vibing out to this song so much that I wish it was longer. I also wished Keturah, female member of GRWYF$ , was on the track. I would of loved a female rapper to be on this track to flip the script on it.

Crossroads-
"I just graduated, at graduation I spoke
That was around the same time I had graduated to coke."
This track so so deep! DJ Chi produced this soft tempo beat which Femdot killed. It was my second favorite record on this mixtape. Femdot rapped about selling drugs while he was in high school and how it effected his personal and family life.
