The Devil's Reject Review

We finish off our " Underground Artist Review " With a up and coming duo coming from New York called " US MUZIQ or The Zombeez " We've been promoting these guys on the site all week and now its time to get into the review of, The Devil's Rejects. The first track, The Devils Rejects creates the tone for the mixtape. Think of a hip-hop version of Resident Evil. " Rejected by the devil its the devils rejects! " Right off the back you understand the way these guys work, OZ and Gray combine together with amazing concepts and classic punchlines. Killswitch carry's on the " Resident Evil, Dark Hip-Hop Vibe " " Everyday Is Halloween and I'm Michail Myers!" Track number five, I'm Possessed, is just straight fucking fire. From the beat to the lyrics. The next few tracks follow on the same emotion, like  the hood after a mass take-over of zombies. You don't really get a break I should say from this sound until, Can't Sleep by OZ, which is one of my favorites on the mixtape because it shows the versatility of the group. " Some things not meant to be, some people never change." The next following tracks, which is What you be doing to me, Dream Girl and Just the Way you Like it, follow along the same path as Can't Sleep, but in a way its kind of telling a story or somewhat of a transition of love.  The Devil's rejects comes to its end, track 18, Come out and Play is very sick and Young Sparks Verse is crazy! The last track, Where you wanna be ft. Killa Tracks finishes up the mixtape very well.

Beat: 5/5
WordPlay:4.7/5
Concepts:3.5/5

Final Rating: A-

Final Thoughts: What The Devil Reject is going to do for you, is get you hocked, somewhat. The mixtape has a consistent sound to it. Like I said, its very street and gritty, filled with punchlines and crazy beats. Am I going to play some some songs at a club, maybe, but I think that's what the mixtape lacks. What stopped this mixtape from getting a perfect A+, was the lack of club songs. It had everything else, lyrics,beats,wordplay,concepts even the skits on this thing where crazy. But while listing to The Devils Reject, I never wanted to get off my bed in just dance. Not absolutely a bad thing, because most New York rappers don't provide dance music. But overall, The Devils Reject is a incredible body of work.
