Laze & Royal - Like a Pistol ft. Marty James
Artist: Laze & Royal
Featuring: Marty James
Producer: Ari Levine
Album: TBD
Label: Warner Bros. Records
A year and a half after dropping their debut album Neighborhood Rapstar, 19-year-old twins Laze and Royal, formerly known as 2XL, are back with a new name and a new sound. On Like a Pistol, the duo’s musical affections for both Sublime and the Ying Yang Twins are apparent, and the end result is a pulverizing rock-rap concoction. Ari Levine‘s production allows the North Hollywood brothers to ride the heavy bassline and profess how they feel about a chick whose “body is on fire.” Considering the fellas helped raise one another while their mother battled cancer, their story and the sound are equally captivating.

This is uniquely raw. The production is definitely amped to the maximum. The rappers sound like everyone else with this same female "shawty doing it" type track. I'm not feeling that. Not at all. I'll give it three for the hook and the beat.

This beat goes hard. I like the rock twist. These 2 don't really say anything but they do alright.

The rock fusion into rap has come and gone over the years and I am truly clueless if its ever going to stick. This is a solid track, but won't make 10 other emcees go out and try to duplicate its sound. I am happy for the guys, though, hopefully their project will drop in the next 12 mo.

The beginning of this song is quite unnerving...anyway I like this, it has some good energy! They seem to be talented, not a bad song to start with. Good beat and good voices! They rap like someone else but I don't know who...I still hardly distinguish a rapper from another
