I'm gonna listen and type thoughts literally as they come to me.
1. We in the Mix
Like that beat mellow and menacing. Marketable voice (pause if needed)
"I can make that money flip like two face decisions"
Strong start
2. They lied to y'all
Sounds like a track I could hear Drake crooning over.
Tryfe has a southern pastors voice. Dope. Vivid imagery and clean ass flow.
Kese sounded very confident and laxed. Almost at ease over the track.
3. Directors Cut
this track is sexy. Ensilence has an almost ominous vocal presence. Sexy but dangerous. sounds like you're being led to close your eyes then the boys with the ski masks and duct tape jump out. Nice.
4. Coli Freestyle
Sounds like the verse is being spit thru clenched teeth. Like a strained in pain soul. I'd love to hear some introspective work, you sound like you're good at conveying emotion
5. Bootleg Soda
Tryfe is crafty with that jump off the beat and slyly merge back onto it flow. It's unique and keeps you vested
Ensilence is innocent and ominous sounding. Aggressive tone works here, flow is in the pocket. Dope.
6. I Tried
That beat gave me the
face immediately. Macado beasted.
Kese is at ease like method man when he's just spitting battle oriented work.
7. Going Thru Motions
Soulful track. El Gunna has that near reasonable doubt era Jay grit to his voice/tone.
I'm feeling this track, it feels honest like it was written from a quiet but painful place.
"I got strangers in my life that hold me closer than fam"
8. High as fukk
This would do well with a low budget video with red solo cups and a dim lit smokey college party like atmosphere IMO
Not my specific type of joint (don't ask me how) as I don't smoke but I like weed songs. Go figure. Kept my ear tuned
9. Dosier
Jazzy soulful bounce. Got me again the I'm gonna jump off beat, nah just kidding. Can't relate but I can see the picture being painted and smell the Dosier as well.
10. Only Built 4 Nubian Linx
Track is live. This would be monstrous with a live band. Ens sounds confident as hell over this.
Picturing you rapping eyes closed, arms folded, smug look on your face. Good work here.
11. Get up Get Out
This has a nice bounce, in the pocket flow and relatable lyrics. Voice is a great rapper voice. Not overly in your face but forces you to listen close.
12. What up
Clear young Jay influence again, Gunna has grit, like he actually believes and means what he's saying. That's a lost art nowadays.
Gotta run for now, I'll be back with a listen/thoughts on the final 12 tracks.

I wrote a little article about the mixtape for my artist spotlight segment on my site after listening to it again over the weekend with a few peeps.
It's not exactly a review because I don't mention songs or artists. It's more like a promotional general impression of the whole mixtape itself so don't expect some deep critical type shyt.
Artist Spotlight: The Coli | Hood All Stars
I also put the cover and plugged it on the homepage banner too. It's the 3rd banner that changes. (the pic changes after every 4 secs)

I also put it up on our facebook page too.

And to just let cats know. I'm not one of those dudes who say they have a blog but only update it once every 2 or 3 weeks like its some hobby. We update daily and take shyt serious. Once again props to everyone on the coli for coming together to make history.

Shucks It's Crazy
Cottdamn Tryfe is a beast!! Need to hear more of your ish breh.
Mixtape overall is quality. It's a big step up from the SOHH tapes that'd be compiled over a week, with most tracks sounded like they were recorded on a built in laptop mic over a soundclick beat.
Gonna give it the whip test today.
