DJ WARRIOR - ILL STREET DUES (HOSTED BY GLASSES MALONE & TALIB KWELI)

Damn this is my kind of mixtape! DJ Warrior is back with “I’ll Street Dues 3”. I remember getting part one a while ago and that shit was bangin. It opened with the Kool G. Rap "Ill Street Blues" track. The mixtape was full of classic shit, but back to the mixtape at hand. I’m loving the artists Warrior got on this mixtape; Ras Kass, Talib, E40, Keak, Jay Z, Cormega the list goes on and on. The mixtape most definitely brings you the best from each region. From LA, NY to The Bay and even The South. With Talib and Glasses Malone hosting the shit, you cant go wrong. Oh, by the way, did I forget to tell you that its a double disc?

Warrior jumps straight into the mixtape with Ras, Talib and Planet Asia on "Ill Street Dues", now tell me that ain’t conscious rap at its best. Cormega, "LA to N.Y.C" was a decent track but I wish it was longer. The beat for Glasses Malone "Two Hunned ‘06 RMX" was that slap! The type shit you just want to put in your ride and bang til your subs blow up! What I like about Warrior is that he puts alot of LA cats on his mixtapes. He stays reppin his area hard! That’s a lost art with some DJs today. I also liked the abundance of Bay Area rappers on the mixtape. Damani and Keak "Gotta Get Paid RMX" and E40 and Keak "Tell Me When To Go" was like candy to my ears. Then back to LA we went with Suga Free, 40 Glocc and Weasel Loc with "Bitches on Point", which is a hot track. Shit even the homey Balance from Oakland made an appearance with "Gotta Get Paid". From Cali we kept it moving to NY! Dj Muggs, Gza, Masta Killa, Prodical Sunn on "Unstoppable Threats". That shit took me back to Liquid Swordz days. And we all know a Westcoast mixtape isn’t complete without Snoop, Daz and Kurupt. They blessed us with "Real Soon". With 64 tracks you can’t go wrong! The diversity on this mixtape is what makes it so unique. And that’s mainly why it deserves a "bangin" status.
