Mixtape Music Review- Rob Hicks "Pipe Dreams 2"

I met up with an artist this week from Racine, Wisconsin by the name of Rob Hicks. He gave his mixtape and asked me to "just listen to it". I did just that and was impressed enough to do this music review. Rob Hicks is a 21 year old college student from Racine, Wisconsin. His music is evident proof that hip-hop has transcended borders and is everywhere. Coming from the Philadelphia area hip-hop is critical and taken seriously. Just as seriously as Rob Hicks takes his music. The intro skit "Ron Hicks Radio" is the setup to let you know who he is and what he is trying to accomplish. He quickly answers a tough question that many artist can't definitively answer, "What separates you from the rest?".

Pipe Dreams 2 opens with a song about reminiscent days of the past in "Dreams Don't Come True" which is an irony of where Rob Hicks plans on taking his music. Racine, Wisconsin has someone to cherish and get behind if they are paying attention. Rob Hicks has performed in the neighboring city of Kenosha, Wisconsin and the towns in between. He has been recording since the tender age of 8 years old with his long time friend Chuck Craze. His first mixtape was released in 2010 titled "Under Construction" and in 2011 "Long Nights and Early Mornings" was the first time he released a solo project. All of which led to Rob Hicks increasingly gaining hunger, popularity, and prompting him to begin the "Pipe Dreams" series. The first installment "Pipe dreams" was an underrated underground success with the tracks "Who Killed Tupac" and "One Man Army". It was now Rob Hicks' time.

The Midwest has seen an increase of talented unsigned artists recently and Rob Hicks is no exception. He has put together a creative effort with great content and a unique style and delivery. Pipe Dreams 2 has collaborations with Epic Hero, Chuck Craze, Chanae King and J Hutch, with a long list of producers such as Termination, Jaas, Stimp-C, and The Dallas Cooper to name a few. Most notably and my favorite record on this mixtape is "The Fake Life". Rob Hicks spits over a mellow sample and gives you the "Dream Life" of the industry from his point of view. I was thoroughly entertained and this track proved to me that Rob Hicks is onto something, and if he works hard he can achieve the success he is looking for.

Overall this is a great listen if you enjoy creative and song concepts. Pipe Dreams 2 takes you through a variety of different emotions and will make you think about life in general. You will get a chance to listen to a young man striving to become successful at something he loves. The quality of the music is above average with room to grow, the content is excellent and very creative, and the beat selection is outstanding. Overall I give this mixtape an 8 out of 10 only really wishing the skits were a bit shorter. Take a listen for yourself and reach out to Rob Hicks to collaborate.

Mixtape Music Review- Young Cyth

Young Cyth- "The Paper Route"


Congratulations to Young Cyth and Top Shelf Clique for the release of his electrifying new mixtape "The Paper Route". Hailing out of Eddystone Pa, Young Cyth has managed in just a few short months to put together some pretty damn good music. Only pursuing hip-hop over the course of the last 5 months, it is safe to say that he shows promise and also has a major upside in improving his craft, and proving he has what it takes at this level. Now Let's get into this review.

The first 3 tracks "Introduction", "The Paper Route", and "Reckless" set the mixtape off with a tribute to all the haters, and clearly defines the money mission Young Cyth is on. One of my favorite tracks "1000 Words" is fourth on the list and came at the perfect time. This was a personal song from Young Cyth opening up the window into his personal relationship with his parents. This track clearly lets you know Young Cyth is a human and endures the same trials we all do. I can always respect honesty and I believe the fans of his music do to. Personality is a trait lacked in a lot of today's music and Young Cyth touches this area perfectly. "The Paper Route" has a great musical flow with the production work being headed by The Kid Citizen, CEO of The Glasshouse Recording Studio. This was his coming out party and he held it down with a well above average sound quality.

The artwork was outstanding, the content was consistent, and has a ton of room for improvement by Young Cyth, an artist that has been doing this for only 5 months. This is something I will definitely check for in his future work. I must also say that for such a young artist (20) Young Cyth was also able to reach out into the community and land some very good artists to feature with him such as, Sounds of the Accomplice, Decal, Dotillz, Maseratti Ran, I Know Brasco, Chad West, and Young Rush. It says a lot especially for how competitive this game can be. Overall this is an exquisite blend of good music and strong lyrics featuring some of the areas finest talent. I give this mixtape a very solid 8 out of 10. Stay tuned in to Young Cyth. I have a feeling you will hear a lot more.

Miilkbone- Hip-Hop 101

Back In Da' Day

I would like to take the time to re-introduce to you Miilkbone, a pioneer in the sport of Hip-Hop music. Just a few short months ago "Good Fella Tommy" as some may call him was off the radar and almost forgotten about in this game that we call "Rap". No longer. He has found new inspiration after tackling many of life's obstacles, and has managed to heighten himself in every way imaginable, bringing himself to a whole new level. If you don't believe me you can listen to the classic song "Keep It Real" and compare it to his music now and literally hear him breathe life into every track. With production by Enrichment, 1st Degree Heat, and Mar'z Muzick among many others, it is safe to say that this man can "Win". Each song tells a story, and each song shows where he is headed........ TO GREATNESS!!!!!!!

Rizzo- "2 Steps" Produced By: J.Doe [Soundcloud]

Rizzo- "2 Steps" prod by: J. Doe


Heavily influenced by introspective greats such as 2Pac, Rakim, Eminem, Wu Tang, Nas, The Fugees, Big Pun, Big L and so on, Rizzo strives to reincarnate the organic 90's flavor while reaching todays hip hop enthusiasts in the current climate; all while maintaining integrity. Rizzo joined forces with fellow SPB Members Elsworth, Factz McFly & Farb and has been aiming to leave a long lasting positive contribution to the Hip Hop culture. Press play and I guarantee you listen to this track in it's entirety!


Since starting this blogging thing I've been able to witness some very talented artists, especially from New Jersey. I have to honestly say "I never saw this one coming!". In walks Rizzo, another Jersey bred emcee with an old school laid back rhyme cadence that forces you to listen. I sat in front of the terminal writing for another artist and my messenger goes off with a drop for the song "2 Steps". I was busy as hell and almost didn't look at it, but I'm glad I most definitely did. "What you thought this was gonna be a pop record from the title?", from the start I was hooked by Rizzo's presence and ultimately was impressed to hear this kind of maturity in a young emcee.

I got a hold of Rizzo and asked him to send me some bio information to post this blog. He wasted no time, and once again I was impressed with what he had to say, "Hip Hop has given me so much, that I truly strive daily to contribute to the culture; in some form. It’s time we as emcees hold ourselves to a high standard and say things worth hearing." In 2013, Rizzo plans to release “Project Push” as his trophy sophomore project. This young man is definitely destined to do good things, and MAR'Z MUZICK SAID SO!
