I don’t want to share every new mixtape or album that comes out. So I sat on posting FKi’s Blue Steel 2.0 until I listened to it for myself. And I’m also not down for doing “Reviews” on this blog. Instead, I’d like to offer my honest thoughts and feedback to the artists and encourage you to also take a listen for yourself.

Guys,
This is shit I need blasted in the club, sports arenas, or the whip while I’m driving fast. Like holy shit, the production gets monstrous at times e.g. tracks like “That’ll Work”, “Kirby”, “B.O.B.”.
Honestly though, I was so into the production, I couldn’t focus on your bars. So I didn’t hear anything that made me say, “wow, they can rap too” but I didn’t hear anything that made me say, “wow, they suck.”
But sometimes one of ya’ll sound a little like Mickey Factz. No shots – I’m just saying. I mean, it actually could be the both of ya’ll since I can’t quite distinguish your voices yet anyway.
But my main beef tho: too many damn songs. I’m a passionate advocate for keeping projects under 12 tracks. I think a lot of the songs towards the end, that were actually you guys being featured, should have been scrapped off of the project.
I’m also not a fan of listing artists as “featured” if it was more like, “yeah, I ripped a verse from one of their songs” or “nah, I just put my vocals on the track and said fuck it.” But hey, everyone does it. And then again, I never heard some of those verses, so pardon my potential ignorance.
Good shit tho!
