Sneak Peak Album Review of We Run CA by Yukmouth

Many fans of Rap music today say that music is dead. What they mean by this is that there isn't any good Rap music being released. They feel this way because Rap from the east coast has been a huge part of music. But over the last few years there has been very little music worth listening. Most of these people don't enjoy southern Rap music and so they feel that there is no music available worth listening to. The problem with this is that these people usually consider Rap music from the west coast to be non-existent. I find that this is not the case for me. I do enjoy music by Game but I don't think music is dead on the west coast or within west coast Rap if he does not have music out. I find that there is many great rappers from California and these rappers sell millions of records according to Billboard.com. One of my favorite artists is Yukmouth and I have been a fan of his since his appearance on the Ruff Ryders Vol. 2 CD. I decided to pre order his new CD titled We Run CA via Mixunit but I thought I would listen to the CD on Youtube before it arrives in order to see what I would be getting for the money.

This CD has 27 tracks in total and the length from start to finish is about 72 minutes. The problem with this is that there are about 7 interludes that are under 1:30 in length and these are just wasteful. Very little is added to the CD with the addition of these tracks and I wish they were removed from the project. What I love about the CD is all the artists included on the CD such as Shady Nate, Lee Majors, DB, Upgrade, Rico Da Kidd, Glasses Malone, Xzibit, Mitchy Slick, Jay Rock, Messy Marv, E-40, The Game, Mistah FAB, Beeda Weeda, Dem Hoodstars, Snoop Dogg, Nipsey Hussle, Dem Hoodstars, and Richie Rich. The good thing about this is that it helped me to discover some new artists while offering new songs from other artists I love. Some of the best tracks on this CD include Till Death Do Us Part, Livin The Life, and Never Underestimate. I think this CD is well done because there are many good songs on the CD so I rate it a 4/5.
