Brisco‘s struggles may differ from Eminem‘s in the particulars, but he and Shady have one thing in common: after all that they’ve been through, there’s not much in this world that can scare them. On potential single Neva Dat the 305 representative takes a cue from 2010 smash Not Afraid, explaining that, with years of experience handling himself in the ‘hood, and a loyal crew standing behind him, he’s confident in his ability to tackle even the most treacherous situations. Jackpot takes a fittingly street-anthemic tack behind the boards, blending strings, sizzling synths and hi-hat-driven percussion into a whip-ready backdrop for the Panhandle State mainstay’s gruff lyricism. Adding the requisite dash of smoothness to the mix, singer/songwriter Rico Love lends his vocals to the chorus, as well as taking center stage for a soulfully acquisitive closing verse. Catchy? You’d better believe it. But will this be the record that cures Brisco’s debut full-length, Street Medicine, of its chronic delay-itis? Knock on wood… in fact, you may want to cross your fingers and toes while you’re at it.

The last few years, while Brisco has patiently waited for an opportunity to release his debut album and really get on with his career, the emcee has dropped mediocre record after mediocre record. I am not saying "Neva Dat" is a hit (because it is not), but its a step above mediocre, in large part because of the production and Love's hook accompaniment.

Great hook by Rico Love, and the greatness ends there.

Brisco just wasn't meant to be a rapper. I hope he comes back and makes me eat my words, but, for the time being, it's true. He drops mediocre record after mediocre record. In this industry, the only way to sell records is by being super-lyrical or super-mainstream; Brisco is neither. His voice isn't radio-friendly and he's largely lacking in lyrical ability. I'm not hating. I'm telling the truth.

I feel like such a hater, but I just can't feel this. The production's catchy but generic, and the same goes for Brisco's rhymes. For some, but I won't be hitting play again.

Brisco just cant cut as a rapper, he doesn't have that exta something to go mainstream. Weak ryhmes and even more generic production.
