DATS TUFF

Daniel Richerson back again with another review. And this time I'm going to review a song called Dats Tuff by 100 Kufis, Crypt, Dax, and No Life Shaq. The phrase Dats Tuff (That's Tough) is often coined by No Life Shaq, who is a YouTuber that I personally came across when I saw his reaction to Chloraseptic (Remix) by Eminem. He's genuine reaction to the whole song is what drew me to subscribe to his channel which at the time he was chasing 30,000 subscribers. Now he's chasing two million. So needless to say, the man has put his work in. If you get a chance to look up his story, it's very inspiring.

Now if you know anything about YouTube rap, especially within the last couple of years, Crypt and Dax wasn't on the same page for quite some time. So to see them putting differences aside to get on a track together is a pretty big for the YouTube rap scene. If only some mainstream artists---

100 Kufis is someone I'm not really familiar with, but I've heard some of his stuff. Dude can spit.

It's not a long song. Under 3 minutes. 100 Kufis comes in with the first verse and he came out swinging. You hear some ad libs from No Shaq coining his famous phrases. "Dats Tuff." "Huh?" "We catching those." 100 Kufis did his thing on this one.

Crypt comes in next. He acknowledges his beef with Dax and squashing it for the track. Crypt switches his flow a little on his verse. This might be one of my favorite Crypt verses. Crypt raps fast. That's what he's good at. He proved he's not a one trick pony on this one.

Dax closes this out. Dax did his thing. Like all the other verses it wasn't a long verse, but I feel that Dax showed off his skills. Showed why his numbers are what they are. I did like how used the oreo example because he and 100 Kufis are black and Crypt is white. It seems like Dax raps like his back is against the wall. He raps like he's hungry. Which is what you want from a rapper.

Like I mentioned, not a long track but it made it's mark. It was a tribute to No Life Shaq because Shaq has shown nothing but respect to every artist, except mumble rappers, that he's reacted too. So Shaq deserved this. Keep doing your thing Shaq. 864

WHEN THE SKY TURNS RED CRYPT & JOEY NATO REVIEW

Welcome to Daniel Richerson reviews. I am Daniel Richerson. And today I'm going to be reviewing Crypt and Joey Nato's When The Sky Turns Red. This is an independent hip hop project.

When the Sky Turns Red - Right off the bat you can tell that Crypt and Nato are rapping rapping. The production value is crisp. The beat goes hard. Definitely can hear someone bumping this in the car. Both artists spit fire. They definitely made sure that the project had a strong opening. Which is a great way to keep the listener invested in the whole project.

Bad Mood - There's a little bit of auto tune, but not overbearing like you hear in a lot of tracks today. The beat is another banger. The chorus is a catchy and easy to remember. Definitely one that you would be humming randomly. Both artists, once again, are dropping bars. Seems so far that their rapping like they hungry. I believe when an artists of any genre are hungry, they're at their best. In other words, they're not satisfied with doing the bare minimum. Everything they put out has to be top notch.

G.O.A.T. Cheese - They're not holding back on this project. This track is them saying that this was not an easy road for them to get this point. They had to work hard and sacrifice to get where they are at this point. Respect.

Art - Listening to this track at first, you think it's a track to slow the album down a little bit. It's far from that. It sounds like an angry track. Crypt's rap flow is crazy which is being redundant. Crypt is known to have a quick flow pattern. And unlike most who try to do that, Crypt usually pulls it off well.

Triggered - Nato brought the heat with his flow on this one. Crypt is a monster on the mic. His pen is amazing. Sounds like real drums was used on the beat, and as a drummer I can appreciate that. I'm assuming Nato made all if not most of the beats on this project. Get your money fam.

Uey - Just a good all around track. Beat has bounce to it which is all you want in a good hip hop song. Both killed their verses.

Footsteps (feat. Atlus) - The track opens with Atlus singing the chorus. An old school grungy sound like Aaron Lewis from Stain sound. Crypt comes on with his verse and sounds like his apologizing and owning up to his part. Which is hard for a man to do sometimes. Nato comes on and does the same thing. Strong track.

Vlog This - Sounds like Crypt is showing some singing vocals on this one. Go 'head my G. Another great track.

Cold Place - I love when Crypt starts spazzing and your head can't help but nod to the bars.

Dirt On My Name - I love the flow pattern on this track from both rappers. Crypt is getting things off his chest on this one. Nato killed his flow as well.

Hallucinate (feat. Chvse) - It was different but catchy. The title pretty much says it all.

Pyscho (feat Luke Gawne) - Now Nato is proving his more than a producer in this one. Dude can definitely rap. Luke Gawne...good gosh. This is the last track of the whole thing. Holy Shoot did they end with this with a bang.

Overall, as you can probably tell, I enjoyed this. This is definitely one for the road. I've been following Crypt for a minute now so I know about his skills. Joey Nato I heard about, but wasn't really familar with his rapping skills. I knew he was a dope producer. Shouts out to whoever mixed this project too because that was on point.

The language on this project does not necessarily reflect my views.

This was my first music review I've done in quite some time. Listening to this motivated me to give this one more go. Feel free to let me know your thoughts.
