One more review for the mixtape, "HIStory". If you don't got it then get it. Leave comments and tell us if you agree. Shoutouts to hiphopruckus.com. Peep:
With the plethora of rappers that are coming out in 2008, it is hard to keep filter the good music from the bad music. Whose real and who’s not. So for the next few weeks I’m going to give you a little help on who to be on the look out for, because after all we control, what’s hot and what’s not. I know some of you don’t think that, but our power is simple as just turning off the music, or calling up a JD and telling him who need to get some shine.
Well for the first week, we head to Upstate New York to meet a talented MC by the name of JD Riggz. The young MC has a raw spitting talent, who knows how to stay on the beat and knows how to make a record. He is sure to be on his way and the proof is his latest mixtape titled HISstory. Now some of the music will either make you think or not, and there were some parts that had me wondering which way is he going, but it all made sense when I listened to the record weight of the world. Now for most people it will sound kind of 80’s ish, and for others it will sound like synthesizer going through labor on the hooks, but if you can manage to fight through the production, you can hear some real good lyrics, that if taken more time to be polished, it will be a problem.
The next song I listened to was the paper. Now this is more synthesizer music that will make you feel fuzzy inside and its accessory is a good melodic hook, but if you dig deep into the song, you will find hints of talent Riggz displays, but not enough to sell you on. So if you’re going to hear anything from him first, don’t let it be this song.
But if you want to completely sold, then check out like me. It might sound like a slow club banger for some, but it definitely gets its point across with the horns and the hook. Overall this was a good song and it made me want to hear more from the dude. JD Riggz is really talented and he is on his way, but most of the songs are real slow paced, summarizer music that are more geared for us to make it seem like he should be compared with Lupe Fiasco. I think a few more fast paced song will sell to a larger crowed, but if you’re into the strings and the hums like I am, this album will be for you. Now=2 0if you know me in the past, I don’t do thumbs up or stars, that stuff is corny unless you’re in Beijing scoring a gymnast. So it’s either hot or not. And JD Riggz HIStory album is… okay for some, but great for others. But with experience comes skill and JD Riggz will find his way.
