Now to understand the Norf I'm taking about in Las Vegas.You take everything west of North 5st and North of Cheyene.This up and coming culture of MCs with there own slanguage,style,swagg and code of MCing is a new lane of Vegas hip-hop.T.Rabb one of the instrumental MCs who helps make up this eclectic mixture of talent brings together an allstar cast of notables for this compilation.
Featuring Music From: T.R@bb, Trade Voorhees, Yae, G.Reed, God Spark, LeRoyCHOPS, Thelonius, P'Ocean, Jabtawa, Schwoogi, Jerry Shinefiled, Toxsikk, Aquil Jamal, S-U-, Illecism.
If you know Norf shit then you know this is a Dream Team lineup.Setting off the tape is an epic Westcoat laced intro.Then Trade kicks the door in with Overture "Ode to more Steez" setting the tone.Then T.Rabb drops the classic"Norf(Town)" the joint that layed the framework for it all.For the lyrical onslaught on that other shit is Thelonius "Xs Up".Got tat Wu-tang meets Westcoast feel to it.Early Norf native Yae(by way of Sac) comes thru with the
"Taking Candy from a Baby" joint.Strecthing the range of Mcing.When you hear Jabtawa x T.Rabb on the lyrical deathwish "Black Roses" cats know the game is over with the Norf team.Raw aggresion and firey delivery comes to the forefront as KillOff memeber Toxsikk spits over the classic 'Ante Up" b/w "Blaze,SMoke,Hydro".A two for one joint.
The catching name dropping thru out his flow by Schwoogi is show how diverse the team can go.But the extra treat of the compilation is the "Real Cypher" with T.Rabb,Schwoogi,and Jerry Shinefeild a live mic passing event that keeps you at on your toes.
This compilation gives you a peep into the niche of this Norf shit.Everybody holds they own and deserves the place on here.No filer joints.G.Reed spits over the clasic "4,3,2,1" with witty gems.Thru out the tape its slappers all way thru.D-Ran steps in with a Norf bounce joint"Worth" will have you beating down the block.
If they aint enough closes out the show is probably one of the most creative and anticipated joints"?" thats right no name but you wont forget this joint .T.Rabbx Trade Voorhees collab on the production of this track.Witty wordplay over a dope loop with 808s slapping to it.The ultimate close out joint.
After this if you aint up on Norf shit you will be.They've created their own lane ,hell they own the road!!
Dont sleep ....instant classic material
