Mista D.J. Paul — Volume 16: 4 Da Summer of '94 [mixtape]


In 1994, DJ Paul released his volume number 16: the production is as skeletal as his best works, there are so many snare drums and so many dark and gloomy samples, that it's impossible for trap lovers not to appreciate it. It's DJ Paul, the guy knows how to choose samples and breaks, and lyrically, he wanders around the usual gangsta, raw and horrorcore themes, keeping clear Memphis vibes. Personally, I don't find too strong choices or slips that compromise its consistency, it's a solid and skeletal one-hour tape, even if not his finest ever. 7/10.
