Killa Tay & Laroo - Fuc*in Wit The Mob Is A Privilege

Killa Tay & Laroo-Fuc*in Wit The Mob Is A Privilege

Laroo been on the grind lately, doing some really high quality music with each appearance and release. Killa Tay been around for many years and is one of the first names that comes up when you think of westcoast gangster music and bay area mob music. Tay's solo work and Moment of Truth with C-bo are some of the hardest, most rugged mob albums that have ever been recorded.

With this new album I was interested to see if it was on the old mob shit or if it was on some new aged shit. The good news is that its got a good variety of tracks, which include some gangsta ass mob music that we ahve come to enjoy from Killa Tay and Laroo. On top of that mob sound, there is also a few laid tracks that work pretty good aswell.

"Like A Gangsta" is one of the years best tracks as it has that intense, high energy mob sound that really brought me back to the 90's sound from that era. Slappin ass beat, aggressive street tales from Killa Tay and Laroo. After hearing this song I was really curious to see if the rest of the album could be as good as this first track was.

"Face In My Lap" has another slappin beat and is a track I can hear bumpin at a strip club. The beat is once again on some mob shit, with some nice kicks and snares that Killa Tya and Laroo do a great job over.

"Im Da Man" is more laid back then the first two tracks and has a summertime vibe to it with a really well done hook. The track features mob vet C-bo, Pizzo and Mississipi joining Tay and Laroo for some laid back playa shit that surprisingly works extremely well after the mob tracks.

"Lock It" is right back to that gangster shit that I've come to expect from Killa Tay and Laroo over the years, its got a dope beat and a hard ass hook. This track will have the d-boys all around the world vibing with this shit and putting it on repeat. Mob Figgaz member Rydah J.Klyde drops by for a fantastic verse that really shows us that the Rydah still has that heat on the mic. Grab what ever green or purple you smoke and bump this track as loud as your system will go.

"Like A Ryder" has C-bo making another appearance and is on some grimey, eiry mob shit. The beat is more up beat and has some very good keys on it, along with some deep bass that brings the beat together nicely. Laroo and C-bo both sound right at home together over this kind of beat and will have the listener begging for a C-bo/Laroo album!

Ive enjoyed the first 5 tracks so far a hell of alot and I cant help but wonder if there is a average or bad track coming sometime soon. But as I paused the cd and sparked up some blueberry, "Dosia" hit me upside the head with its
enjoyable production and Killa Tays raps and recognizable background vocals. Luni Coleone is on this track and sounds as good as ive heard him in a hot second, as he spits a hot verse.

"Take Over" is a meeting of the bosses, as you have Larro, Killa Tay,C-Bo, Marvaless, Luni Coleone and Pizzo all appearing on this song. 4 minutes of that gangster shit right here and its another great track on this album
right here.

"Got Knock" has Marvaless stealing the show as she destroys the mic and takes no prisoners with a flawless flow and solid lyrics. Another knocking beat on this album right here, so far there have been no bad beats for me
personally, lets hope they rest of the album continues this. Its also worth mentioning that Marvaless also does a good job on the chorus aswell with this song.

"Jack Like Dat" has some crazy bass that will have your speaks shaking like crazy, straight slap! Killa tay gets some help from Luni Coleone again and also KJ. But without a doubt its definatly Killa Tay who steals the show on this track as he rides the bass perfect.

"Smash Down" is my least favorite track on the album, as the beat just doesnt cut it for me, especailyl after all the slappin beats that came before this one. The rapping is good here but the production just seems to bring the
song down a bit.

"The Pain" is a Killa Tay solo track and has a good beat which Tay spits some great raps and tales that will have you looking forward to a Killa Tay solo album. The beat isnt the best on the album, but it does a good job
of not going overboard and keeping it basic which works very well.
Here is a little taste of Tay on this track:
"Sometimes I wish I had a private plane and I could fly till I die/Marry Jane kill my stress so im high till I die/Take a look in my eyes you see the spirit of a prince".


"Mafia Life" is more laid back but is still a great track, as the song features a well done hook and a nice chill beat. This song shows that this album isnt just mob/gangster shit, that Laroo and Tay can rock a smooth track like this
aswell. Its Laroo who steals the show on this song with his usual addicting flow and charizma that we have come to expect from Laroo over the years. This is a track that I could see a video for and on tv to be honest, if it had the right director and with a warm climate like Hawaii or Brazil it would be perfect. This song really did remind me of 5 years back, chillin in Brazil with a few beautiful women, get a video for this!

"Westcoast Outro" is a great way to finish the album, as we get Killa Tay on another solo track spittin game over a hard beat that 2pac would have ripped to shreds. This is that mob street shit that Tay helped bring to the westcoast years ago.

Overall this album is even better then I expected it to be. Laroo is working harder then anyone in the rap game the last few years and Killa Tay shows that he still has what it takes to make great music. The beats are solid as hell, the rapping is topnotch and the features are perfectly done aswell. I enjoyed 14 out of the 15 tracks on this album and definatly reccomend it to any fan of mob music. Killa Tay and Laroo keep is gangster, but also do a few smooth/laid back tracks aswell that make the album even more well rounded.


The only negative things I can say about this album are that
1)its not on amazon.com or ITUNES yet, which are two big outlets for people outside the bay
2) One of the tracks wasnt up to par with the other tracks (production wise).
Two very small issues, with an otherwise nearly perfect bay area album.

Go cop this album, Roll one up (or grab your Bong/Vaporizor) spark your green up and enjoy this well made mobsta music!!
