After an up-and-coming emcee is released from his or her problematic major label situation, the first thing they usually do is release a boatload of new music to the Web (see Joe Budden or Currency as examples).  Listeners who are already familiar with this tactic completely understand Stat Quo‘s situation; free from Shady/Aftermath rule, the lifelong ATLien recently dropped The South Got Somethin’ To Say mixtape, and is preparing to follow it up with The Bailout, due out on November 22.  On his latest mixtape feature, Stat focuses on the very reason why he considers himself an emcee, why he was so frustrated with label politics, and how he plans to take his career to Another Level.  Over a country-style beat from producer Sicknotes, the record sets Stat up to ramp up his output, blessing Booth members with plenty of new music.  According to his manager, that’s exactly what he has in mind for the New Year; on behalf of all quality music-lovers, I eagerly look forward to it.

I gotta put this one in the same category as the Freddy Knuxx song featured tonight. I am LOVING the production on both tracks, but I don't think the artist matches either. I give the edge to Stat Quo on this one, but this chorus is pretty off and out of melody. The rest of it just didn't hit very hard and I couldn't vibe with it. Production puts it at a 3 for me though, good look Sicknotes.

Stat has been on ANOTHER LEVEL since being freed from his bullsh*t deal. I have supported Stat's career for 6 plus years now and he has always stayed the same dude.

The production work from Sicknotes gets special props.

I'm feeing this one. Stat is continuing to bring solid music to the booth. This production is cold. That blues guitar makes this song a banger for me. I would love to hear UGK on this one. R.I.P Pimp C

Wasn’t expecting this soulful high quality production and background vocals… nice! Stat Quo is one of those above average MCs who watch lame rappers make money with garbage ringtone music (let’s make a list? Hurry up with the forums Z!!!) but still refuses to drop nothing but decent lyrics and dope music. You gotta respect that! Why is it so difficult for major labels to promote and drop talented guys like Stat, Cashis and when they go independent suddenly their music pop up everywhere…?!? It’s not like they don’t have the money to do it…

I like Stat Quo's style, his songs I've heard so far are smooth, soft and chillin...I like this less than the previous 2 (I am Hip Hop and Washed Away) but it's still good! I'm feelin the production, it's smooth and also sexy, his flow is great as always, but he should need a hook as the music isn't so catchy like the previous ones. After a while it gets boring to me to listen only to him rappin! Also because I don't understand so many lyrics. In rotation!
