Sermon Reviews Streetz & Young Deuces-Straight Drop Muzik


When you think of the Midwest, who comes to mind? Is it the action packed-rapid fire Emcee known as Twista? How about the legendary Bone-Thug-N-Harmony? Or even the Soulja Boy obsessed, past his prime Bow Wow? Whoever you may think about, 2 young gunnas are looking to be added to that list. They go by the name Streets-N-Young Deuces. Their latest effort is titled “Straight Drop Muzik” and is hosted by the Aphilliates own DJ Head Debiase.

If you Google the duo’s name, you can find quite a bit on them for being up and coming artists. Does your hometown artist have a Wikipedia page? SNYD do. Another thing you’ll see is the lead single for this tape titled “Shawty So Strapped.” Tha Franchize breathes a new life into the Crunk era, modernizing the once super hype lifestyle. Now SNYD has been working hard (with help from their promoter BFochs) and they did it without big cosigns. Although DJ Drama & Willie The Kid check in over the phone with the duo. SNYD puts on for their city. You can see it with the Plies sampled “My City.” Young Deuces expresses his opinion on being a gangsta/selling drugs (“you ain’t never bust a gun, you ain’t really packing/Just because you sell some weed, that don’t mean your trappin”).

It seems that new phrases are coming out weekly. SNYD already make one retirable. “Gucci” is apparently the new term for good. It’s crazy how slang happens and becomes overused. Expect everyone to walk around saying “what’s Gucci” from now on. “Welcome 2 Da Mil” really should’ve been the introduction track because it provides an inside look into the hometown. Speaking of the mil, SNYD recruits only the finest from the town to rip into Freeway’s Don Cannon Produced “Cannon” joint. Young Deuces still professes that “We grind without a cosign” but see “DJ Drama Speaks” and “Willie The Kid Speaks.” Streets goes in after the copycats in the game and reworks the classic Biggie Line into “The most shady/Easy baby.”

They use quite a bit of sampled choruses and “Everybody Knows Me” is no different. Young Dro sample on the chorus but Young Deuces pulls out a dope Family Guy line with “Only models come next/So I Quagmire them hoes (Giggidy)/Pass around that dro (Giggidy).” They really did a good job of turning up the Midwest on this tape. The sampling could have been cut to a minimum along with a few joints such as “Break Ya Ankles” cut from the list. That joint was towards the end and really didn’t accomplish anything but boredom and a longer tape. SNYD already has a sponsor with CRUNK Energy Drink and they are close to beginning a tour. This tape is definitely something you’ll want to snag a copy of if they come to your town.
