PHILOS - WOMEN ON MY MIND

Philos easily has one of the most unique styles in the game with what might sound to some like a cross between Slick Rick and Snoop Dogg. He’s a perfect fit with The Pack (famous for their “Vans” song - ranked as the fifth best of 2006 by Rolling Stone magazine) who are featured heavily on the project. Lil B “The Based God” (on the cover of the new issue of Ozone Magazine) stands out on the track “No Brake Lights”. Paul Wall also appears as a feature on the track “Bust a Left”. Philos also brought in his Travis Barker connection with the Famous Stars & Straps feature on “Swear They Do”. Philos is fresh off the stage at the Famous Stars & Straps party at Club XS in Vegas as part of the Magic Trade Show festivities. The stage was full of star power with Travis Barker of course, and performances from Yelawolf, Lil B the Based God, Bun B, Swizz Beats, and more. Grand Hustle’s Yung LA also appears on the “Women On My Mind” project on the song “Kut Girl”. Needless to say, Philos is well connected and that only helps to push the new “Women On My Mind” project.

Paul Wall - Politics As Usual

I’ve heard this was supposed to a 2-disc set (CD and DVD) to be released on January 25th, but I received one disc with 16 total tracks days ago. Regardless, it’s great to see Paul on a full project after doing so many cameo appearances for everyone else. Be clear, this is much more like a mixtape than it is an album with transitions and cuts that are typical with legitimate mixtapes. To be honest, this “album” is better than 75% of the ‘mixtapes’ clogging up the game now with so many wack DJs…..don’t even get me started. Once I did a little digging I found this is a mixtape (as quoted form PaulWallBaby.com). Once I confirmed that “Politics As Usual” was actually a mixtape it gave me a different angle to listen from and I still stand by the fact that it’s better than a huge number of mixtapes in the game.

My top picks from the project: “Keep On Pushin”, of course “Dripped Out” for the classic Paul Wall flavor, “Refund” for the honestly Paul Wall laid out, “Daddy Wasn’t Home” for that “Dear Momma” Tupac vibe, and the final track “Take It There”. As far as from a DJ’s point of view, I loved the transition from “Move Slow” into “Showin Skillz”. Just hearing an actual mix along with some scratch game flexed in….that’s a win.

Call it a mixtape (as it is officially labeled according to PaulWallBaby.com) or a street album; I don’t care. This is classic Paul Wall put together in a way a DJ will appreciate and anyone knockin it out their trunk will as well.

WRECKAMIC LANDS EA SPORTS PLACEMENT

Congratulations to Wreck-a-Mic for his recent music placement with EA Sports on the new MMA.

"MMA" will feature my song "It Goes Down" WRECKAMIC featuring Paul Wall. The track is produced by Big Tra "The Hitmaker" and co produced by T. Hall of The Necksnappers.
The game will feature many other songs including fellow Dallas, TX rap artist Cutta C.

EA SPORTS presents "MMA" for XBOX 360, PS3 and iPhone. Worldwide release October 19th featuring the Strikeforce fighting league. Featuring music by Wreckamic "It Goes Down" WRECKAMIC ft Paul Wall

As told to Jake Crates of AllHipHop..
"I hooked up with Paul Wall through Dj Frosty of the Campus Kingz dj crew at the Texas Summer Music Conference about 6 yeras ago. I handed him my cd and told him that we would work together one day. Dj Frosty has had a personal relationship with Paul for some years now and has helped my career a lot. I had a song that he thought Paul would sound perfect on so he hit him up and asked what would it take for him to do a verse for an artist and friend he was really trying to help (me.) Paul asked who it was and when Frosty said "Wreckamic", he told him to email him the beat and he'd do it. The version of the song on the game is a newer version than was originally released November 2008 on Paul Wall's "Fast Money" underground album. I decided to revamp the beat, hook, and my verse to make it a completely new song produced by Big Tra "The Hitmaker" co-produced by T. Hall of The Necksnappers."

"I met Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal through a Dallas artist named Cutta C who is known for his successful song "Ack A Azz" which Lawal used as part of his entrance in the Sengoku fighting league in Japan. Lawal told me to send him some of my music. Once he heard it he asked permission to use my music on his youtube webisodes documenting his training regimen, etc. On one of his webisodes, Lawal and "Mayhem" Miller visted the EA Sports offices, tested the demo of "MMA", and recorded the audio dubs of their likeness in the game. The song playing during the rolling credits of the video was my song "It Goes Down" ft Paul Wall. My myspace URL was credited and a representative of EA Sports' licensing department contacted me."

Paul Wall "Heart of Champion" Review

Paul Wall returns to release “Heart of a Champion” to a surprisingly quiet buzz. Reminiscent of albums of yesteryear, the album has a 14 tracks rather than the mixtape-influenced age of 20-22 tracks. Before dropping the needle on the album I was shaking my head at the track listing. There are only 14 songs total and 11 of those include featured artists. 11 out of 14? Really? That sounds more like a compilation album. “Take Notes” kicks off the album and is good enough to hold my attention for the album. I like it enough to chop it into my mixes, but I can do without all the adlib talking. If it’s not relevant to the song then just shut up and let the beat roll. “Showin Skillz” brings us back to the screwed and chopped influence with the heavy Houston sound. The problem is the sound quality of the looped hook; it’s terrible. The production is too repetitive for a 4 and a half minute song plus I’m not a huge fan of Lil Keke. Chop his verse out and you’re down to a manageable song length. “I’m On Patron” has been bumpin around for a minute and is still a highlight of the album. The production and engineering is crisp and will definitely rattle your trunk. “Round Here” features Chamillionaire who I really like, but this song is weak and gets skipped after about 30 seconds. “Imma Get It” sounds like it was intentionally engineered to sound tinny and hollow, but that alone ruined the song for me. I want to hear every instrument pop and the vocals crisp with depth. It literally sounds like Bun B recorded his verse over a damn phone. “Stay Up” will get some spins from me in Southern markets and I’m sure it will be heard bumpin down the block out of a grip of trunks. It’s Paul Wall rippin traditional Houston flavor so fans of Paul Wall are going to love this one. Jonny Dang’s verse is comical because of his Nicki Minaj-style delivery. “Pocket Fulla Presidents” is one of my favorite tracks from the album but I had to clip Andre Nickatina’s spitmouth verse out and did the same with Mitchy Slick’s trash verse. Excellent confirmation that too many features can ruin an album. Even still – trim out the guest features and the song is dope (that’s how I spin it in my mixes). “Aint a Thang” is dope and yes, even with Jim Jones’ feature. This is one of the top 3 songs from the album easy. “My City” is forgettable and I’ll just leave it at that. Then you get to the dope “Smoke Everyday” track with Devin Tha Dude and Z-Ro. I love the funky flavor of the track and the laid back ride of the hook. This is one of my favorites. “Live It” abandons the overall theme of the album so it stands out as odd. “Not My Friend” leans towards a wanna-be rock vibe but it comes across real corny. I think “Still On” was made strictly for radio play to capitalize on the T-Pain sound. By now I’m thinking Paul Wall either had an identity crisis or he is really trying to make at least one song for every region and demographic. I would much rather listen to Paul Wall just do Paul Wall and stick with what made us love him in the first place. “Heart of Hustler” has some badly engineered guitar to test the rock flavor. The best part of the entire song is the ill drum fills – other than that – miss me with this one. I’ll listen to 6 out of the 14 tracks again and probably add 3 to my mixes. Numbers don’t lie. You do the math and tell me if it’s a good album?
