With all due respect to Trick Daddy, ten years ago you’d be hard pressed to name a rapper from Miami. But fast forward to 2009 and Miami-Dade County is one of the most powerful locales in hip-hop, serving as homebase to some of the game’s biggest names and routinely turning out new artists. Riding this wave of Miami love is C-Ride, an always hard rapper who wants everyone to know that he’s Straight Out of Carol City. A street release designed to hold fans over until his debut album drops, Carol City is a soulful banger featuring production from fellow Floridians Cool & Dre and a verse from none other than Ricky Ross (let’s hope he can manage to stay onstage for any live performances). Does Carol City prove that C-Ride has what it takes to be Miami’s next rap star? That’s up to the Booth will to decide. C-Ride’s debut album Automatic Vibe does not currently have a release date.

Kudos to Cool N Dre for turning in yet another solid effort behind the boards here. C-Ride, frankly, bores me as an emcee, but along with Rick Ross and this production he sounds alright. The sample work is catchy and that leads me to listen all the way through.

C-Ride is one of those rappers where they need strong production and a high-profile guest feature to make a good song. He's not terrible but not anything special. Ross was decent and Cool & Dre came with another hot beat.

Is it just me, or does C-Ride sound like a Miami Consequence? Those progressing horns from Cool N Dre had me by the end of the first verse. Verses were just average and were piggybacked by the beat, yet again.
But that Rick Ross fall line in the blurb had be cracking up. Head to refinedhype.com for the video and the hilarious write up. |

Have to agree with most of the comments here, C-Ride gets the job done and not much more. Rick Ross isn't exactly Nas but he's clearly the better rapper on this.
