Tape tribute to Nas. Cookin Soul opens this jazzy tape with a beautiful instrumental, first of several light and relaxing beat. The second track is a light, cheerful, rhythm. Also, alive has positive vibes among a minimal drum machine, then "Life's a Bitch": splendid boom bap, soulful, light, relaxing vibes, nice homage.
Another highlight is represented by "Living Fast": that's wonderful, flawless light rhythm, relaxing instrumental track, dope. "Masta" is a classic instrumental, light, relaxing. Follows a light boom bap, pretty nice beat; then, "Childhood Memories": that's one of the best Cookin Soul production ever. Classic stuff, great vibes, light, relaxing mood, flawless soulful hook by female background vocals, accomplished by a cornet. "Revolution" has a pretty nice boom bap, light, simple, excellent beat, with dope sample of female background vocals. Xmas bells maybe are too loud in background to work in "Rewindit", nice beat, then "Survival" & "Masionchillin" are two good relaxing boom bap beats, light. "Gottaloveit" has an extravagant light beat, before "Downwitit", sample by Roxanne Shanté, boom bap skinny and simple, with James Brown shouts scattered. Closes "Warriorjoint", last high of the tribute tape: great beat, light and relaxing vibes, soulful female background vocals, amazing soulful finale.
Highlights: "Life's a Bitch (Winter remix)", "Living Fast", "Masta", "Childhood Memories", "Revolution", "Warriorjoint".
Rating: 8/10.
