Review of D-Roc: No Excuses Vol. 1

I'm back with another review! This time with D-Roc an artist that hit me up on twitter (Shameless plug: Follow Me on twitter.com/keladag !)Couldn't find much out about him on the web, other than that he is an unsigned artist/hype man who's looking to break into the game.

Ya'll ready?

How I am rating: I listen to a song with my speakers first, just to rate the chill vibe of the music and its playlist. Than I plug in my handy dandy headphones and listen, because music always sounds 10x better through headphones. Truth. All together I probably listen to a mixtape 4-5 times before I download it. lol, just to be sure I want it

So here are the 3 possible ratings:

Shelf It - Leave it where it is. It will collect digital dust in your iTunes

Choose Wisely - Pick and choose, there are gems here as well as shiny worthless rocks. But its still worth taking the chance

Cop It - You'll like it, love it, want more of it.

Now, since D-Roc is on Datpiff.com we can do a track by track rating.

We Gonna Make It- Nice flow, but at the end there is a long awkward silence....(Take it, if you can cut it down at the end)

Food For Thought- The "all you boys that talked s***, look where I am now." If you like the artist or just want a song to pound your haters with (Take it)

Light It Up- A remix to the Drake Song of the same name ft. Jay Z. D- Roc is right in the middle of the 2 artist and holds his own. (Take It)

Straight Bars- A long verse over the "Plenty Money" beat. Its nice and has some original lines that are worth repeating/retweeting. (Take It)

Bloodline- Nice song, but the volume randomly changes. (Take It)

Saw Freestyle- Very powerful voice, he sounded mad at me. And I was just listening (lol) Lots of emotion. (Listen on the internet, but Leave it)

Free Weezy Freestyle- The first few lines are for weezy, and than it starts to sound like the Saw freestyle without all the anger in his voice. A couple of nice lines in there. (Listen and maybe take it.)

Till It all Falls down- A remix to another well know song. Sounds nice, but there is another long awkward silence at the end....(Take it, if you can cut it down at the end)

My Rating: If you like the next hot new thing and want to stay ahead of the curve than I would tell you to Cop It. But beware!!! This mix tape needs a little more mixing and mastering. Its not really quite a finished project, but I guess its free so...yea. If D-Roc decides to fix the little mess ups here and there than this would be a definitely Coppable mix tape.
