DJ BURNONE & DJ FUNKY & BIG KUNTRY COCAINE After being in the shadow of platinum recording artist T.I. for the last few years, P$C’s Big Kuntry is ready to step out on his own and make moves on the solo tip. I’ve been a Big Kuntry fan for the last few years and when I got this CD on the mail I couldn’t wait to hear it. Big Kuntry keeps that signature synth-heavy P$C sound thru the whole CD and that right there was enough to make me put my stamp of approval on this joint. “Loked Out” and “Microwave” are definitely joints to check for and “Let’s Get It” featuring Loreal is a banger too. One track that’s a must to listen to is “Underdog.” Unlike that Young Dro CD, Burnone put this one together tight. The CD flowed real well and was arranged perfectly. Niggas need to stop sleeping on Big Kuntry. Dude is the truth for real. - DJ Chuck T DJ IDEAL & PITBULL UNLEASHED VOLUME 6 Pitbull is by far one of the South’s most underrated artists and anyone who listens to this CD will agree. I don’t know if it’s because a lot of people know him for his uptempo club tracks or the fact that he’s Latino, but niggas don’t give him the credit he deserves. Not only can Pitbull put together a hot song for the club, but the boy got some heat for the streets too. DJ Ideal reminds us of how well rounded Pitbull is by packin’ this CD with over 30 tracks of exclusive freestyles, classic Pitbull tracks, and bangin’ guest features he’s done for other artists. There’s something on this CD for everybody and that may be a gift and a curse for Pitbull. He may just be too versatile. He reps for the clubs on tracks like “Bojangles” and the “Snap Ya Fingers Remix”. He reps for the ladies on the “In Love With a Stripper (RMX)” and “You Better
Tell Her” along side Teedra Moses. And you know he gives the street niggas some heat too on “Born and Raised” and “I’m On It.” This CD is pure fire, but Pitbull really killed it with his freestyles over “Hail Mary” and “Warning.” Pitbull has every aspect of the game covered as far as hip-hop is concerned, but I think he fails to catch a solid fan base because his music is all over the place. Some emcees are just too good for their own good if you know what I mean. If you’re a true hip-hop lover and a fan of hip-hop music and you’re not a Pitbull fan by the end of this CD, something is wrong with you or you’re just a plain hater. - DJ Chuck T BIG NEIL & BIGGA RANKIN I first got this CD down in Daytona and had it laying around for months, but after seeing his ad in OZONE for a few months I figured I’d check it out. I must admit I was pretty surprised. I didn’t expect much from a rapper from Cincinnati, OH, but this nigga has some real talent. His standout feature is his voice and delivery. He lyrically spits like a down South nigga, but has the swagger of an East coast rapper. This is a definite plus because it’s going to allow him to appeal to the masses and not get stuck in a box. A lot of Midwest artists either try too hard to be Southern or try too hard to be from NY, but Big Neil has a style that’s a perfect mix of both. I thought that “Dope Boy Music” ft. Rick Ross would be the standout track, but it wasn’t. I had “Mix It With The Bakin’ Soda” on repeat for at least a good 30 minutes, and “Put ‘Em In The Air” was hot too. He straight ripped a freestyle over the “Diamonds” instrumental and I was bumpin’ “See Me Fresh” so loud my baby mama came and shut my computer off. The CD had some songs that were kinda lackluster and Big Neil could’ve picked some better beats, but I can honestly say that for a nigga from a place that isn’t known for hip-hop he came hard. 85% of the CD was hot and nowadays that’s a good thing. I get TONS of CDs that get trashed after the first 2 tracks. This CD wasn’t one of them! [IMG]http://www.ozonemag.com/apr2006/600/Apr06-15.jpg[/ IMG]- DJ Chuck T
