Shout out to Mookie, who laced up some crazy verses and hooked me up with some beats for this tape, 9mm (aka bcp) for setting me up with some of those wicked instrumentals and for mixing the 2 tracks he's on and Arsenik for making the cover. Let's keep this music thing going IGN!

Check out what my boy Sentz from IGN had to say about Paper Planes & Space:

Anyway about the tape, it's dope. For real, I was very impressed with it. Track-by-track right here: (basing the tracks out of 10 in terms of what you are working with)

1. I'm Hot, You Ya Not [feat. Mookie]

What a great start to the tape. Great verse, appreciate the shoutout and loved the whole IGN part. That was awesome. Mookie came in and did his thing, flow was nasty. Great start to the tape. You and Mookie have great chemistry together on tracks. 9/10.

2. Still Fly
I was a little surprised to see this on here, mainly because we used the remix on my tape and didn't really find a point. Then I heard it and it's actually very well put together. Good track, 7/10.

3. Determination
This track was good, flow was on point, lyrics were relevant to the topic, just straight up rapping. What it's about. 8/10.

4. CDN Set [feat. BCP]
Beat was funky, you came good on this but I think BCP stole this one mainly because the beat fits him so much better, in my opinion. I liked it though, 7/10.

5. That S*** You Like [feat. BCP]

This was immediately my favorite track up to this point. Awesome beat, only complaint I had was that for a second I felt like it was a BCP tape because he was back to back and beats both fit him much better than they did you. You did your thing though, good ish. 9/10.

6. Do It Easy
Good track, was definitely feeling the flow on this one but it was too short. Would like to have heard more on this one. 7/10.

7. Future Flow
I was feeling this but all I kept thinking of was Synthesizer. I felt what you were trying to do, but you pretty much took their style on this one and I felt like it was copied. It was alright, though. 6/10.

8. Flight School (Skit)

Didn't understand this at all until the next track, obviously.

9. Gone To Space
This is your type of track, my man. This was dope as hell. One of the best on the tape. It's just your style of track, I can't really explain much more. Awesome track. 9/10.

10. Zone
Dope track again. Loved it, see number 9. 8.5/10.

11. Never Giving Up (Goodbye Haters)

I love the attitude you showing on this one. Dope flow, dope lyrics, dope! 8/10.

12. Break
I had this one for a while so I was surprised to see it on here but I slept on this track to begin with. Great ending. Awesome rhymes, great job with this track. 8/10.

I deleted the It's Cold track because I already have it off of 'From Point A To Point B' and don't do doubles on my iTunes. Overall, this tape was good. It started off great, kind of lagged in the middle and really picked up at the end. It was too short to really put it up there with 'From Point A to Point B' or 'Waiting In Line' in terms of length, but it was a good tape. I would definitely recommend that you focus mainly on the style of track like Flight School and I'm Hot, You Ya Not while practicing on the versatility for other tracks.

I appreciate the two new BCP tracks too as my girlfriend is absolutely obsessed with anything BCP puts out, thanks for that, I can hear his voice when I sleep/think/dream pretty much because of the pHV tape and all those Arsenik/BCP collabs on top of Who Run It and Get Lifted which is off my tapes, she overplays all of them and could probably spit them all in reverse and in Spanish. Appreciate it. laugh

Good ish though. A solid 7.5/10. May go up after a few listens.


Hmm... 7.5/10 for my first mixtape sounds real good considering I did almost everything on my own (Recording/ Mixing/ "Mastering"). Don't sleep on this tape people!
