Though it’s been nearly a year since the cut was released as a single, the success of A Milli continues to inspire emcees everywhere to dust off all the lines they’d previously shelved as ‘too weird for public consumption’ and deliver them in a stark, grimy lyrical free-for-all.  Of course, I’m not complaining—I’ll take bizarre over boring any day of the week!  On newly-released mixtape cut Stylin’, Stat Quo becomes the latest rapper to throw his hat into the free-association ring, with considerable success.  The opening verse, in which Stat claims to have “pockets full of gravy,” and also, if I’m hearing him correctly, to be filled with frogs, is arguably the record’s lyrical high point, and DJ Pain‘s sparse beat, which boasts a brief but very catchy hook, gets the job done while keeping the focus on the ATL native’s rhymes.  If this cut whets your appetite for more of Stat’s impressive stylings, grab a copy of his Invisible Man mixtape on April 8th, and check back with us this June for his contribution to our exclusive freestyle series.

Stat Quo = 4
Production = 3
Hook = LAME haha 2

Since the hook isn't that big of a part I'll give the track a 3.5, and round up. I like Stat's grimy vocals and interesting flow, although kinda sounds like hes tryna immitate Weezy's twang and mumbly vocals. I still really liked listenin to the track tho. Nice work.

The beat on this sound way too much like that song So Crispy by Kia Shine. I doubt it was done on purpose but nonetheless the beat sounds a litte boring and repetitive. Stat Quo brings decent lyrics but I've heard better. Hook is creative but not that great. Overall this song is lacking

I'm not feeling this. The hook is wierd and the production is kinda weak on here. I like Stat Quo but this is nothing special.

Considering this man is churning out new music for mixtapes like a farmer does butter, I won't hold him accountable to the same level as an artist who pushes us his new "single." This is a VERY solid mixtape cut; both catchy and enjoyable. A little corny, but enjoyable none-the-less.

I was on the fence with this one, but the hook just killed it for me. I like Stat Quo, but this one wasn't doing anything for me.

The hook on here is really weak. Stat sounds GREAT though. I have to go with Juanito on this one. Stat has one of the sickest flows in the game and he doesn't disappoint on this one...but the beat and chorus does! Rotation...

His flow is good and the beat makes me move, but there's something lacking here...the production is a lil too simple, I don't know. The "hook" (well, is it really a hook?) is mediocre. Not a bad song but coulda been better
