DJ Kep - Welcome To D-Block

Green
Lantern once said "I don't get exclusives, I make them". That's what I
enjoyed about "Welcome...". The blends took on the feel of actual
commissioned tracks. I like the direction of mixtapes being artist
centered. Just slapping multiple Lil Wayne tracks together doesn't make
an artist mixtape. That's a quick money getter. To each his own, but
I'm not really a fan of that bullshit.
From the outset, "24/7 D-Block" sounds like a war cry and the whole
world should take offense. Kep provides the perfect soundtrack for
these lyrical beast. There are some missteps, but not enough to
mention. "Welcome To D-Block" isn't a new genre and I'm not sure if the
success can be duplicated, because it takes more time to make this type
of release, but it also has a longer shelf life than all the fly by
night "new shit". There was a time when blend cd's were in high regard,
but like "real Hip Hop" (who knows what that is anymore) as mixtape
fans we have to support the Dj's who are actually putting forth the
effort or we're just complaining about shit and not affecting change.
"Welcome To D-Block" is a shot in the dark on a deserted road, and if
Kep wants to be remembered, that next release has to be half way
finished when this review drops.
