When I first heard of Duna AKA Baby Mac Dre, I thought dude might be biting a little to much, but then I listened to that first cd and there where some fantastic songs. The whole album wasnt perfect and had some annoying songs, but there was also some slappers that showed Duna had alot of talent.

Welcome To Candyland has a crazy cover that some will like and others will laugh at it. But since when should people just buy albums based on the covers? Lets get to the music!

Pimp, Rapper and CEO is slappin and features the great Mac Dre and Tae. Overall its a good song that has been listened to a bunch over the last few weeks over here. So far its a good start to this album, lets just hope the rest of the songs are dope!

Every Day I Go Hard is another good track as Duna rides the beat well and will remind you of Mac Dre at times with his similar flow. The hook is well done and the beat is good enough to go along with Duna doing his thang on the mic.

Black Brown and White is one of my fav tracks on the album as The Boy Boy Young Mess joins Duna and does a great job. The beat is also on some funky shit that im def feeling, its to bad Dre isnt still with us as he would sound GREAT on this beat. So far so good, the album is blappin and seems consistant!

Never Been a Bitch is another solid song with good rapping and a tight beat, but the hook is a little annoying and kind of brings the track down a little. Still good stuff but would have been better if the hook was better.

Go Stupid Go Dummy is ridicolous slap, this song has been on repeat since I got this album. It starts off with vintage B-Legit ripping the dope production apart and has me fiending for a new B-legit album. The hook is dope and also Duna does his thang over the beat aswell, straight crack! Studio Ton did the beat on here and shows that hes still got them dope beats in him!

Whats Haaatinin is another song with Messy Marv and is once again another cool ass track that has another ill beat. I wouldnt mind to hear a Messy And Duna album one day, they sound confident together and fit together on a track nicely.

Come Here Hoe has the legendary Celly Cel and has a crazy ass hot beat from Syko who shows these young producers how to put a dope beat together. Could we get a new Syko album already? Duna does a good job on the beat and makes me wish the whole album was produced by the dude Syko.

Can U Say (Thizz Mix) is another nice beat from the legendary Syko and will have your head rocking back and forth the whole time. Dubee and Mac Mall hop on the track and do a good job, not to mention the hook is tight! Did I mention this beat is crazy? Syko is a mothafuckin fool for this one right here mang!

I Talk Money (Thizz Mix) features San Quinn and T-Pain and is a good song but not as dope as the top notch previous tracks. Still cool stuff and San Quinn rips his verse, but its just not as dope as the other songs and the hook just annoys me to be honest.

Baby What You Sayin? Is a cool laid back track which features Syko and Lil Jim Cole. The beat was done by Bass Head and is cool but its Syko and Duna who rip the track apart and make it enjoyable.

Freakin Day And Night is another excellent beat from Syko, as Duna rides the beat. This track would be a dope song for a music video aswell, I could see it done in Hawaii or Brazil! The hook is also well made aswell!

Thug Relations has a good hook from Rochelle and a good beat but just doesnt do much for me personally. Duna sounds a little out of it or lazy on this track, but its definatly not a horrible or bad song, just the rest of the album set the bar so high. I would like to hear Rochelle on more hooks, homegirl does her damn thing on this one.

Syko once again goes all out on his last beat for the album and its just nuts. The way this dude puts his production together is just un-real at times, fucking genius at work here. Duna also soundsat his best over this beat right here as he spits with confidence:
"I pimp bigger then Jayz and Bun B/Rim hats off to my nigga Pimp C"

Got A Nigga Goin Crazy has a dope hook but im not a big fan of the beat to be completely honest.

Overall this is a dope album with some amazing production on it and is more consistant them Dunas two previous projects. Some say Duna is bitting to hard on Mac Dre and not doing his own style or what ever but I cant speak on any of that. I have no clue if Duna was cool with Mac Dre or if hes biting Dre, its non of my damn business. What I can say though is that this album here is slap, period.

Duna has stepped his rapping game up as of late and its good to see him improving. There was songs on his previous work where his flow or voice was annoying at times but with this album hes def stepped his rapping up.

Do yourself a favor and cop this album is you enjoy dope beats or Dunas previous work. I had my doubts about this album before I heard it, but I was plesantly surprised. Not the best album ever or the best of this year so far, but its worth checking out. Sure Duna sounds like Mac Dre on alot of songs, but the songs are dope and he does a good job rapping, not much more needs to be said. Even if you done like dudes rapping, check out this cd for the beats, there are some crazy slaps.

SCORE = 8.5/10








I havnt heard much from DJ JG or DJ Blaze but they do a good job here on this mixtape, same goes for the rapping aswell. Errelevent and Trey C I have enjoyed in the past and they rep on here, as do the other rappers.

The first song is On The Grind and is cool but not the best way to start the mixtape off. The rappers rock the beat well enough as far as lyrics go, but the flow could be a little better.

Rockin That Thang is a dope track that women can bump aswell as the playas. Im not a huge fan of these types of songs usually, but this is done well and enjoyable.

Best I Ever Had is another good track as Errelent and Nesra do a great job over another club/radio type of track. Once again its another song that both a dude or a beezy can listen to. I usually dont like the whole Auto-tune but the rappers on here do a great job and its great to hear Errelevent showing his versatility doing a club track.

Throw It In The Bag has Nesra and MDash doing they thang over another club radio friendly beat.

Magnificent is one of the better tracks on the album as Errelevent and Nesra once again do a good job and show that they have some great charizma together. It would be nice to hear an album or mixtape maybe with just these two dudes. Both rappers do the damn thang with lyrics and they flow, dope track!

She Is Back is not as dope as the last few tracks, as the track sounds a little forced and not as natural as some of the other tracks.

Right Like That is another track for the ladies but is more fast paced and it works very well. Like I said before im more of person who loves Mob music, jazz, reggae and blues music, but I can appreciate other stuff aswell. Probably the 2nd best track on the album right here as KDinero and Nesra do a nice job on the mic.


Halo goes hard and is solid the whole way thru and Mista Cane, Kap10 and Nesra sound comfortable together and over the beat.

Knock Me Down finishes the mixtape off and isnt bad, but doenst make me want to put it on repeat again either.

Overall this is a very solid mixtape that is more geared towards the ladies and the clubs, but I cant hate at all, these dudes went out and did the damn thang as far as club songs and songs for the women out there go. As 2pac said, you gotta have some stuff for the ladies out there aswell as the gangster shit and this mixtape shows these dudes can rock more then just complex lyrics or hood shit. Also one more thing, the recording quality and mixing is very well done for a mixtape, good shit.

If you get a chance check this mixtape out! Especially if you are looking for a cd to play while at a party or some ladies are over!

SCORE = 7/10

Battlefield Bad Company2

Battlefield Bad Company2

Battlefield has been around for many moons on PC and it has always been one of the best online shooters around. While Battlefield 3 is on the way for PC, gamers get another console version of Battlefield with Bad Company 2. Sure it's not as huge or insane as the older PC Battlefield games but it's still a lot of fun to play online with some friends.

To me personally, this game right here is much better than the Call Of Duty games online, and mainly because it's more team oriented and really rewards people who work together instead of acting like Superman and trying to do everything yourself. You can do a lot more than just killing here. If you are like me, then you will be playing Medic or Engineer a lot and helping out your teammates instead of just going for kills. Also, capturing or defending bases is a part of Bad Company 2 as well. Overall the action here is makes it the best online FPS since Team Fortress 2, in my opinion. Great level design, good team-based gameplay, and some of the best sound deign ever in a video game!

Whether you are playing Rush Mode (which is basically an attack and defend mode), or the classic Conquest Mode (in which there's three bases that both teams fight for), you are guarenteed a ton of fun. This game does take a little getting use to though, it's not as easy to pick up and play as say Halo or Call Of Duty, but with a little practise you will get the controls down and be rewarded with some very satisfying gameplay.

The single player is not the best around but then again, this is an online focused game, so the fact that they even did a decent campaign is a nice bonus. You will travel to all different parts of the world in this mission and the play really pulls you in as the sound and graphics are top notch.

I know I said it above, but the sound for this game is really amazing. Bullets whistling by, sirens, tanks; they all sound so realistic you can close your eyes and you're there. Bad Company 2 really has upped the ante as far as sound design, and while it's not an aspect that a lot of people appreciate or notice, it's something that I am just blown away with here.

Bad Company 2 is improved in nearly every way from the first Bad Company and is a must-have for online FPS fiends.
SCORE = 9/10
