As a veteran duo who helped lay the Foundation for hardcore hip-hop to come, M.O.P.‘s Lil Fame and Billy Danze can be considered two of the game’s foremost authorities on the Street Life. On the lead single off their forthcoming full-length, the iconic twosome team up with DeMarco, the R&B/dancehall artist who recently brought us Listen , to deliver a gritty, slightly wistful lecture on the harsh realities of inner-city survival. Fizzy Womack (aka Lil Fame)‘s midtempo, piano-driven boardwork sets a reflective mood as Fame and Danze spit their heartfelt bars, never quite abandoning the aggressive delivery fans have come to know and love. DeMarco’s hook is bound to bring a few Auto-Tune haters out of the woodwork, but the rest will undoubtedly appreciate Street Life‘s combo of radio-ready catchiness and sincere, real lyricism. Those digging this track can find more street-certified beats and hard-hitting rhymes on the duo’s ninth studio album, which has yet to receive a release date from the E1 brass.

When did MOP leave G-Unit?? I was sleeping on that one. Anyway, it's GERAT to hear from them again. This is a different feel from them but I like the transition and the way they're coming back to grab some attention. All will be well if they promise to drop at least one club banger to go with this album.
I've also loved Demarco on the under the radar circuit since his Fallen Soldiers record, but he was a little off on this one. His off-pitch really brought out the best of the autotune. |

This is back to the roots of M.O.P here. This song works for me. Beat is crazy! I ain't know Fizzy was this nice behind the boards. I wish busta would have hoped on this one . I think he would have recaptured his old self on a beat like this. I like DeMarco on this, he handed them a great hook.

Real nice production on here. Always loving the piano. MOP sounded real good on it too. I agree that it's great to here from them again. I really didn't even mind the auto-tuned hook. This was a banger!

The beat is nice, pretty melodic! ...Auto-tune doesn't hurt the song too badly but could be left out and I think it brought this song down a few notches for me. Well, M.O.P was on-point with their rhymes and they didnt use it themselves its just the hook and also this is the radio-spin joint to push the album ... So in goes Rotation.

DeMarco has always always always (go back into his Booth archives) used Auto-Tune. Heck, I don't know what he sounds like without it... which is why I have accepted that its part of who he is as an artist. Pairing him with M.O.P.? Ehhh, jury is still out.

The street life part is wack! Far from a hit! This guy is trying to play the role of AKON in a song, doesn't pack a punch with his "street life street life!" Not good! 2 stars.

Not the usual M.O.P. track, but I kinda liked it. But Fame is in the top 10 emcees of all time. He doesn't even write his rhymes on paper anymore, every verse you hear from him is a freestyle. Or so I heard. lol
