"Sick of the rap game" starts the tape off right, good flow, great beat in which Riz lets his frustration out on everything in the rap game, hence the name of the track. He even raps about back in the day and how dj used to spin records on the love of the music instead of whats popular now, which could not be any more true. "Red light" is probably a track that most of you have heard already, dope ass uptempo beat with really good rhymes. Riz keeps it gangsta on every track on this tape, Diamond District don shit.

As the tape moves along u can barely tell this is a Whoo kid mixtape cuz he remains reletivaly quiet for the second tape in a row, which should give the haters less reasons to hate. Whoo kid has cemented himself as one of the best Dj's in the rap game and hate him or love him, people wait on his tapes like they are albums. The next track, "Gangstas, hustlers" features Papoose and is definately another banger on this tape, with Riz and Pap rapping really well together on the same track, hopefully we can see some more collabs between these two in the coming months. Papoose spits "My gun is like a jewler cuz it make your ear ring." That is definately one of my favorite tracks on the tape, uptempo, great rhymes from two rappers, and a really dope beat.

"Homicide" has a heavy piano beat and Riz does his thing yet again on this track, this track is also not listed on the tracklist for some reason, it says whoo kid plays watch what u say two times in a row, and it isnt that way on my copy, anyway Riz is really proving himself to be one of the best rappers in NY, as well as the rest of the world. Some say he sounds like Banks, some say he sounds like 50 but i can definately see the differences in all three so i dont think that much at all. "Watch what u say" is a track i heard months and months ago and this one is still in rotation in my library of music. Whoo Kid played this track before summer even came, most people were sleepin on it then, lets hope that changes now because this is one of the best tracks on the tape. "Keepin it gangsta" is exactly just that, the beat is hard on this track and Riz seems like he does hooks really well, of course he got Sha money on his side and we all know the abilities of Sha, and if you dont u better ask somebody,lol. "Back in the days" features a biggie sample and could not sound any better, Riz must have listened to alot of biggie in his day, it shows "n-o-to-ri-o-us u just lay down slow." I keep lookin for somethin bad about this tape and i just cannot find much to this point.

The skits on this tape are also pretty funny, "Stop frontin" features a hook by 50, although is is a lil bit screwed, the beat on this track is also really good. Production on this tape is excellent, well worth the wait. This tape is filled with album sounding cuts, for five bucks i got one of the best overall tapes this year, with tracks that u bring back over and over, Whoo kid did not do that on this tape which is suprising, considering he loves to "Bring it back." The next track "Money" features prodigy and is exactly what i expected from the two, straight gangsta shit. After another skit, the tape switches to "In the hood" which sounds like a southern beat, Riz completely destroy's this track also. "Makin this money" has another southern feel to this track and it features yo gotti from cash money, this track makes you think Riz could fit in really well with Cashville Records, considering thats where Sha Money said Riz is going in a recent interview, which may or may not be true. Hopefully that is the truth cuz i can see some great tracks with 615, buck, C-bo, and even the outlawz for Riz in his future.

As the tape winds down we get "Go hard or go home" featuring Lloyd Banks, although this track is not new, it is definately an excellent track. Riz raps " kill em with the cross have the crowd goin crazy, bout to zone out like kobe goin for 80" this is a must listen for not only any rap fan but any fan of basketball in any form. Banks and Riz sound excellent together on the track, i cant wait for more material with these two. "Stop snitchin" is another track u can just kick back and bump, Riz not only tells great stories on the track but he also has many lyrics and is only getting better. "Trials and tribulations" is an excellent track in which Riz shares alot of his experiences with everyone. This is where the tape ends with whoo kid saying he goin on tour on the outro.

I added "bang", "Put em up", and "I get money" Riz remix to the tape and it made it more than complete, not sure why Whoo kid did not put these tracks on the tape because they were recently released. By any means, Riz has shown us more then enough talent to keep him in high demand. Overall this tape is prob the best tape i have heard this year, right up there with Young Buck-Product of the South and NYCE's NBK vol.3. Both newer rappers(NYCE and Riz) doin their thing really well, so when people say hip hop is dead or dying, tell them to check out these new artists.

OVERALL: 9/10--Not many tapes better then this one, if you can find one lemme know.
OVERALL with bonus tracks i added----9.5/10

NOTE: Leave comments on what ya'll think about Riz and if you think he should be a part of G-unit South/Cashville Records

*Bring's the tape back to bump this ill shit again*
