Stat Quo - I Am Hip Hop
Artist: Stat Quo
Producer: lyr1ks
Album: The Bailout (The Mixtape)
Label: Big Dream Ventures
You have to give it up to a guy who can flip the game. Speeding up the former king of the sped-up soul sample, Kanye West, Stat Quo rhymes with amazing clarity on a brand new record over Bobby Glenn’s Sounds Like A Love Song. Though the former Shady/Aftermath recruit has MVP status thanks to co-signs from Jimmy Iovine, Dr. Dre and Eminem, Stat elaborates on why I Am Hip Hop is more than just a marketing ploy in the current age of digital downloads and ringtone rappers. lyr1ks does a mighty fine job of giving the buzzworthy artist the energy to back up everything that he says; I Am Hip Hop manages to be equal parts tough and vulnerable, allowing listeners to learn how it feels to lose a deal, while exuding the strength that allowed the emcee to push through the crisis.

Stat been bringing that heat this beat match his voice better than his last feature on the booth. Don't see this being a hit single but a good mixtape joint.

The Kanye West interview sample is classic. Stat Quo snapped with this. The production is off the chains. This definitely goes into rotation and I'm gon let it rotate for minute to just marinate.

All it took was a release from his major situation and Quo is off like a bullet barreling out of a chamber. Just imagine how much more quality music this man has had to sit on because of his past.
... Keep it coming fam. I love these chips! Haha. |

This is extremely good. I'm feelin his flow and the production, too. The beat is energetic and chillin at the same time and I like the music, it's sweet...to me it's a banger! I often can't say why I like a song so much, I like it and that's all
