Best Song: Keep It Gangsta

Worst Song:

LIVIO finally drops his debut album after much expected anticipation. After all the press he has received, it would be easy to assume that he will be the next one to achieve that Mix A Lot status in Seattle. His guest appearances include an array of big hitters in the industry including Noreaga, D12, Tre Dee, Daz, Bad Azz, Spice 1, B-Legit, and Dru Down. And for the records it is a nice debut album but definitely overrated. The tracks that are good are very good. Good enough to carry the album, but there are a few stinkers/fillers  on here as well.

"Keep It Gangsta" is without question the best song on this album. The production on this track, by the legendary Bosko Kante  makes you wanna immediately wanna start C-Walking. It is definitely a West Coast beat at it's finest. It is also reminiscent of the late Roger Troutman with the talk-box included. As far as the lyrics, I also believe this is one of the two songs that Livio gives his best delivery, and when you add Tre Dee of the Eastsidaz to the track.....Need I say more. No wonder it was the first single.

Other tracks that stood out were:

 "U Don't Want Nun"- Livio teams up with D-12 members,  Proof &  Bizarre to drop the next biggest hit on the album. The song is just tight!! They all come off with fat lyrics on here. I usually know a FunkDaddy beat, and I wouldn't have believed he made this track had I not read the credits. Not to take anything away from him, he makes hits but this is one of those beats that didn't use all of his familiar sounds. I've always loved when a producer could show his versatility. This should be the next single.

"U Know," and "Street Life," caught my attention as well. Basically, I liked all the songs he had with featured artist, except "Life I know" with Noreaga.

"" was considered the worst song because (That's what I get for assuming). The beat is a more Miami sound, and face it, that's not what I listen to, so my judgement on this song may be unfair.

That is where you the listener must come in. Go buy this Seattle artist's album and be the judge. After all, he is only 19 and doing more than 60% of the rappers in his neck of the woods.
