3 out of 4 stars

Miami is on fire right now, with Super Bowl weekend coming up and everything.
Talent wise Florida as a whole is looking real crazy…that’s not only
for MCs but for DJs as well. One thing these DJs do beyond the norm is actually
support their local artists; that’s on radio and mixtapes alike. On the
production side cats like Cool & Dre and The Runners
are churning out hits like its nothing. For those that don”t know of DJ
Obscene, he”s the youngest in charge out in Miami, holding down Florida
better than some mixtape vets could only dream of. Let”s see how Poe
Boy runs Miami.

One thing you will figure out by listening to this mixtape is Brisco
is a dope MC. "I”m In The Hood" is with out question some classic
hood music. Those chopped hooks are infectious as ever right now too. Personally
"Hustlin" by Rick Ross wore me the fuck out…too
many MCs used that beat and the radio wore the shit outta the song. But after
listening to "Career Criminal" Mr. Ross seems to be back on his shit.
I didn”t like the hook but it’s a straight head nod through out. Ok, now
for the hit records. "We Takin Over" is a bonified hit record. This
might be Akon”s best hook to date. I mean one listen to this song and you can
hear the potential…radio, video, mixtapes, clubs…crazy. Speaking of hit
records peep Flo-rida on "Birthday" if you haven”t
heard it already. That shit is a hit too. What you want to do now as an observer
of the music is watch how both these tracks get worked into the mainstream and
see what works best and what the ultimate end result it. I”ve come to the conclusion
that Brisco is making music just for your whip…that shit to make your speakers
shook and a flow to keep your head nodding; not a bad combination. On the low
"D-Boy" is a hit of sorts too. Flo-rida and Brisco just flat out have
catchy ass music.

DJ Obscene getting off a little mixing…a little skill…not like he usual
does but truth be told he”s really letting the music catch all the light on
this CD. That”s really a lost art in itself considering all the mixtape DJs
that don”t know when to shut up. Regardless, does Poe Boy really run Miami?
I don”t know because I don”t live out there but they sure as hell have some
bonified hit records. I got love for Rick Ross (no turd burglar) but the MCs
people need to really be checking for are Brisco and Flo-rida….and don”t forget
Obscene on the mixtape side.
