Island’s Ceazar has making his name slowly blown up as of late. Growing up in
the era where lyrics matter, Ceazar makes sure that he will continue to keep
that essence of the 90’s era alive. The lyrical flow puts Ceazar on a pedestal
and it is no doubt that he has what it takes. Now signed with Raekwon’s ICEH20
record label, Ceazar has a project out as he Render The Throne to the best of his ability. The mixtape will
explain the lyrical dexterity of Ceazar.
Listening
to this album is basically very simple: street lyrical rawness with an edge of the
90’s golden rap era delivery. It shows at the beginning of the mixtape with
tracks like the Scram Jones produced “The Brewery” featuring Shaolin’s veteran
Raekwon and Reason with the hard 90’s beat pattern that fits very well and the
Allrounda produced “The Rize”. One thing with Ceazar is he knows how to pick
his beats and his guest appearances are hard hitting. The rhyming chemistry
with Raekwon and Reason is phenonminal. “All We Ever Wanted” is a strong heavy
hitting track based on what they want in the rap game. The other strong track
is the awesome blow to blow Staten Island meets Queens track “Borough to
Borough” featuring the Illapino Aye Wun as both emcees bodied the horn infused
jazzy beat produced by Don Producci. Aye Wun straight owned this track with: Ya
remind me of a middle of a hot pocket lukewarm/been had jazz like John Stockton
leave em Alone.
Ceazar
experiments on the subject matter on this mixtape from the street life to the
females. This is definitely not a one dimensional album which keep heads
attention. The hard tracks “Cold as Ice” and “Dreams” place Ceazar on the spot
while the final track “Legendary” is one of his solo tracks where you can hear
his flows about the street life with witty wordplay: I’m not famous; I’m nice
with the stainless. The standout track is “So Amazing” featuring Junii is a
party tracks that will get play at the clubs. Although the sample is recognizable
and is used many times, the track is a pass.
This
is a mixtape worth getting the attention of the streets and play on the rides
and IPODS. Some of the tracks can lead
the listener to move to the next track quickly. The 18 track mixtape can be a
little tiring due to musical fatigue and some of the tracks are long. This is
not a major blow that weakens the focus of the mixtape, only picky listeners
will complain about it. Otherwise, this is a must listen with banging tracks of
a 90’s east coast nostalgic flow with a current twist to it. This is mixtape is
a blueprint for east coast rappers to keep it simple and you don’t need to be
south using trap beats to grab attention. It’s all about being original; that’s
the principle and Ceazar’s mixtape fits the mold.
