'Mr OMG' [EP] - Young Plug MIXTAPE REVIEW

Due to the fact that I have not posted in 4 days, I am writing this mixtape review, tomorrow I will write the recap of tonight's game, and I will start an article on Ugly God for Wednesday or Thursday.

   Young Plug is about as much of a SoundCloud rapper as you can get. There's nothing bad about being one, but he is relatively unknown outside of this streaming service. Young Plug is still fairly unknown on social media and on SoundCloud, all I know about him is that he resides in Mexico, he has big ears, he got hit by a car 4 days ago, and he makes trap music. That is it. If they were to make a movie on Young Plug it would be 10 minutes long. A SoundCloud rapper is basically a rapper who uploads all their content to SoundCloud, advertises themselves using their SoundCloud, and if they enable ads they make profit from SoundCloud. So there is nothing bad about being one, especially if you make as good music as Young Plug makes.
    Young Plug just released a mixtape 5 days ago, entitled 'Mr OMG the EP'. By the title an 'EP' means it is an extended player, which artists use to publicize themselves but they are usually shorter than a full length album, which would be an 'LP'. I stumbled upon this album on SoundCloud listening to posts from a user named GOLD. GOLD posts rap music that is not known enough to be on the radio or on rap forums, but is popular in the underground rap scene. This mixtape is only 5 tracks long, a whole 12 minutes, but it is packed with simple but catchy beats, and decent melodic rapping. It starts with the song 'Clout' where Plug raps along a happy beat, sounding like something Lil Yachty or his sailing team would make, and in the 2:04 minutes it latches you on to keep listening to this EP. This is very useful, because if the first track is lackluster, you won't want to listen to anymore of an unknown album. This could also happen backwards, the first track is too good then the rest of the album will be set up to that standard, and it won't make it to it. But Plug does enough to make it interesting but not have too high of an expectation for the rest of this project. 'Trap Phone' is a decent second track, it brings you in with the beat so you stay around for the rapping. Although the rapping isn't anything interesting you can tell that with enough work Young Plug can practice his flows and write better bars.
   'Money Comin' is a short track, but it is sweet and pretty catchy, so it adds onto the relaxed vibe this project brings. Unfortunately the last track 'Twinkle' isn't very good, but its not bad because you'll just remember the vibe the previous songs had and you'll still find it to be a good mixtape. I see potential in this artist, and I do want to keep and eye on him, just in case he gets as big as rappers like Playboi Carti, Thouxband Fauni and Lil Yachty.
'Mr OMG the EP' 7.5/10

'F*CK STEPH CURRY' - Music Dosage #1

    Lots of underground new music is pumped out by aspiring artists and recognized rappers every week, some are terrible, some are okay, and some are really damn good. I got you covered though, here's the Music Dosage for this week. The links are shortened.
       Good Tracks-
 'F*ck Steph Curry' - Lil Boom @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJb8yklJCkc
This track is gold, just pure Curry-hating gold. This diss does it all, challenging him to shoot guns instead of threes, it calls Curry the Illuminati, calls his daughter ugly, and his son a mutt.Complete with a decent beat, and some trash talking by Lil Boom in the background, definitely an interesting track. Not a great song, but an interesting one.
 'Enemies' - Dirty Sanchez  @ https://soundcloud.com/47radio/dirty-sanchez-enemies
  Long-time Pro Era rapper Dirty Sanchez put out this track incorporating hard lyrics with a jazzy beat, perfecting the vibe put out by the late rapper Capital STEEZ. Although this track as well as Sanchez's other tracks lack the lyrical ability and word play that STEEZ incorporated in his music, the vibe itself takes you back to the days when Pro Era was just a small group from NY.
  'Drippin & Saucin' - Sosamann, Lil Uzi Vert, Sauce Walka @ http://bit.ly/1qMxCCB
Sosamann, the popular Lil Uzi Vert, and the crazy Sauce Walka go Super Saiyan on this track with a druggy beat behind them, and Lil Uzi's twangy voice, complete with a decent Sauce Walka verse. Sauce Walka is one of the craziest trap artists in the game, and it takes time to like his verses, but you start vibing to it at some point.
This also has the best song artwork of this week-
 
    Bad Tracks-
'second chance' - Trin$ic @ Look it up I don't want to give this kid any more false attention.
This poorly mixed, nasally rapped song is just terrible. I found this on the Hip Hop Heads reddit, a prominent place to share some new tracks, and this kid posts on there like a maniac. He posts his old songs and labels them as 'FRESH' which is used to notify the readers that it is a new track, he also likes all of his posts twice to act like it's popular. It is just terrible rapping, no bars whatsoever, and the forced nasal aspect is awful.
Drippin - Lil Yachty Ft. 21 Savage & Sauce Walka @ http://bit.ly/1s9beVl
The first Yachty track I am not feeling good on. This song lacks bars, Yachty's voice is also really lispy, which means he is wearing his grills, which he usually doesn't while recording, but it isn't pleasant. The Sauce Walka part is hard to listen to with ear-buds because he kind of screams it. Oh well.
