Crucifix — Da Clouds in Me [mixtape]

Crucifix's tape debut may not go down as one of the most memorable in the super-crowded Memphis scene of the mid-90s, nonetheless, the tape has its moments. DJ Big TIm and Dirty D realize a raw production that accompanies the rap of the interpreter in a concrete way for these forty minutes, for a total of nine songs that you can also find under different titles. These are cleaned up: "For You Hoes" is "Bitch Suck My Dick", "Loading Up The 9 Gloc" becomes "Nine Glock" and the sensationally bleak "Late Nite as I Cruise" is "Late Nights". Also, "Blow A Shotgun Thru My Nose" becomes "From Clouds in Me", "You'z a Bitch Ass Nigga" is "You's a Bitch Nigga" and "Dis a Robbery" changes to "This Is a Robbery". The tape is worth it if you can find it somewhere, but don't expect the hidden gem of the year, because this is something else. 6.5/10.
