The Florida rap scene has emerged as one of the preeminent scenes for hip hop over the past year. Rap artist Razor
is one of the new rappers on the scene looking to make his mark with the release of his fresh mixtape Mr. M-I-A.
“Holla" is sure to get the girls on the dance floor in the clubs with its slow/fast tempos. “For U" has the hard bass
that Florida is known for and just listening to it one can picture cruising around Miami on a warm spring night getting
ready to pick a woman up for a night on the town. On this track, Razor shows he has back up from the heavyweight as
Ross spits a line at the end of the song. “Rock Music" may sound a little misleading as the song is not exactly a rock
song but it is certainly something to rock too. The song dabbles in the new trend to take over rap the introduction of
electronics to make a mysterious rap meets futuristic sound. Razor pulls it off pretty well and the song is another
strong track from him.
“Feeling Myself" is really the only clichéd track on the whole album due to the overt references
to swag. Although swag songs are a dime a dozen these days, one supposes that every rapper is entitled to at least one
swag song. Still, this song does not take away anything from this up and coming artist and it will not be long before
Razor will reach the pinnacle of the rap world.
