Back in October of ‘08, double-threat emcee/producer Lex One‘s first feature split Booth reviewers into two camps; though many appreciated Queen for what it was—a mellow, female-oriented record with plenty of class—others found it to be a little too low-key. Well, the Queens to Florida-transplant must have been paying close attention to the reader feedback—on his second feature, he’s looking to prove himself as a musical risk-taker who can bring the Heat from bar one, and he’s enlisted the help of two underground up-and-comers for good measure. Self-styled “gambling’ man” Bishop Brigante is the first to flow over Lex’s propulsive, guitar-driven instrumental, and Florida native Dynas switches things up with some unique vocal cadences on his second verse, but Lex One’s own vivid rhymes on the back end may be Heat‘s high point. If this cut was hot enough to make you a convert, watch out for Lex’s Ink Made Me a Monster mixtape, coming soon.

That production at the beginning was classic. The rest of the track was just an average mixtape cut that you would hear anywhere. The one positive here is that Lex One has a really distinctive and catchy voice when he spits, which makes the song enjoyable.

Always nice to hear the A-game of some up-n-comers. Lex One offers the best verse on this record, but he really steals the show with his production (which is better than anything vocally). Solid for a mixtape track.

The production sounds really good with the guitar in the beginning. After that its not good just some solid lyrics but this is still pretty good.

Agreed: Lex spits the best verse on here. The rest leading up to it is cool, but the track just sounds monotone/plain until Lex One brings a different type of energy. I do like the guitar riffs in the production and I'm wit Z in that the production is the high point of it.

This song is pretty ok. Extra regular. Sounds like a dipset cut minus the outrageous tales of drug dealing overlords(i like those by the way, its funny)

The beginning was the highlight of this track. The rest just faded from classic to the creeping down the stairs to ok. Average huh!

Quote !!!Stunna!!!, the beginning was the best part of the song. It was promising but then it disappointed me. I like the production which is kinda energetic, but the hook is really mediocre
