Review - Exo (U.S.G) - The Appointment

After the critically acclaimed Power of the Pound mixtape Exo from North West London's U.S.G camp is back with a new mixtape to warm thing up until the release of his forthcoming debut album The Waiting Room
As you will know from his Power of the Pound mixtape Exo crafts his verses intricately and can switch lanes with ease,whether he's dropping thugged out street anthems,Social commentary or reminiscing on days gone by Exo always manages to bring something extra to the track and his vivid descriptions and detailed rhymes are in abundance once again on The DJ Livewire & DJ Skratchee  hosted 'The Appointment'
Starting off with the smooth melodic Soulful
bounce of My Thoughts Exo shows exactly what's made his Popularity amongst UK Rap listeners as well as the Respect of his counterparts as he goes in lyrically from the drop with his usual passionate delivery spitting impressive lines like
("Ended up in Crown now were off the List,So I thank God and Pray for that Final Kiss,I love the roads,I know she loves me too,Throughout the Bullshit my Baby girl pulled me through,So She won't see the back of we,This is London North West Stone B!,Pray for forgiveness,this is real life Cuz this is big business!")
Tracks to check include The excellent and Street Certified Banger Devil In Disguise Which features Scorching Hot verses from Babz (Squeeze 4 P$) Young Marv and Exo over a sick Instrumental Here I go again featuring U.S.G's Lefty and Squingy Let's talk Sex,My Thoughts 2,The Roadman anthem Dark Whips and also the Flyboy anthem My City which features Young Mad B and his fellow U.S.G member Squingy.
Another of the Strongest tracks has got to be Flyer than I've ever been which features U.S.G's Lefty and Miski and has a laid back summer feel with its soulful backdrop as well as some Hard lyricism from Exo who spits about his day and shows loves to a Currently incarcerated K Koke
("First thing a quick visit to the Bing,I go and Check my Brudda cos right now he's On the wing,I tell him bout what happening and watch him feel the Wind,Couple snacks from the canteen and Watch him roll back in")
The main two main ingredients which separate this from a lot of the releases out are Exo's Honesty in his tracks as well as the Soulful feel of the mixtape as it is layed with some classic sounding samples which work well and come as a breath of fresh air in this day and age of every one using generic Lex Lugar sounding instrumentals.
Show N Prove Possibly the best track on the Appointment is a fine example of this as Exo drops bars like
("and they're trying to keep me here,I run towards my Angels but my Angels disappear,I look up in the mirror, I see demons in my rear,but my heartache don't stop,it don't beat no fear,so I'm first to grab my B****r and I ask my Brudda where?,Already L****d light it up and let it flare!!")
The Appointment is one for the mandem as well as anyone who likes real rhymes and Real instrumentals as I haven't heard anything this soulful for a while,There are a few misplaced Samples before a few tracks but other than that is an appointment you will enjoy.
9/10.
All were waiting on Now is the album The waiting Room which is coming soon!

REVIEW - MAXSTA - THE COME UP MIXTAPE

Its been a few years since Maxsta was introduced to the Grime scene by Wiley along with a 'new wave' of Grime MC's but unlike many of the others whom were brought through to represent the future of the scene this Eastham representative is one of the few still standing and sounding strong.
After the release of his debut,the extremely popular 'The Maxtape' as well as ripping to bits a few features on other Artists projects he releases 'The come up' and its as hot as you'd expect as Maxsta doesn't play around when it comes to intricately putting together his Bars and his delivery and flow are definitely above average with him displaying throughout on this mixtape with some Hard Grime as well as some top quality hiphop tracks.
Maxsta's main appeal is his honesty and keeps it real on this not pretending to be anything he's not just an average 18 year old from East London check out the way he explains his entrance to the Grime scene 'Max' with lines like("Logan's show made me late for school on a tuesday morning,so I had to run like Rev,Beckham and Usain all in!") As well as some words that Chipmunk won't be too happy about as he exposes him over a dubstep inspired grime instrumental.
'Come on' feat is a hot slice of hip hop showing his versatility as he spits some clever wordplay ("I keep it normal like school shoes in autumn please don't try and say I never schooled kids I taught em")
Maxsta is comfortable over most instrumentals and clearly has pop sensibilities without sounding desperate as tracks like 'Hooked on you' and 'Bring it Max' could both be chart tracks as well as hot on the streets but Grime is where he really flourishes with tracks like 'My gift' feat Skarez is a Grime Banger ("Last year I was the kid without credit now I got a thing that's fresh out of leggings")
Also check out the Teeza produced 'Wasteman corner' and the Excellent Z.dot produced 'Fire Bars' ft Doller Da Dustman & Big Shiz with all Mc's going in on the minimalist Grime beat.
'The come up' shows how much talent and originality Maxsta brings to the game plus he sounds like he's having fun with the music which is something missing. 2011 will definitely be his year but for now this will keep you goingm
'The come up' shows Maxtas came up 9/10
