Rozay jumps into 2012 with his first mixtape of the year Rich Forever. This was put with all new material to hold you over til the pushed back God Forgives I Don’t drops in the next month or so. Let me first say this cd is good enough to be a actual nationwide release. Everybody in the rap game doing a mixtape this has set the bar for the year so far. Granted I know it’s early in the year but this made me forgot about TI F*ck Da City Up that just dropped 5 days prior! Okay now that I got that out the way lets breakdown this mixtape. Out the gate the beats are crazy like I expected them to beat Rozay always got the best on beats. Let’s start different this go around and talk about the disappointments on this mixtape. Up first is Ring Ring feat Future this song is so horrible I think I can out do both of them. It was another sucka for love song that should have been left on the cutting room floor I think. This is the worst song on the cd after that there are two so so songs that are borderline bad and okay all in the same breath. Keys to the Crib feat Styles P this song just seemed hella long and a run on song with no end to it. Styles P was ok on it but nothing between him and Rozay stood out on this one. Next is Mmg The World is Ours feat Meek Mill, Pharrell & Stalley when are people go realize that Pharrell needs to make beats and be on the hook not spitting bars. As usual Meek Mill holds his own and Rozay was nice but Stalley new to the game was trash made Pharrell sound like Nas that is how bad he was. Time for the good music of this mixtape first up Diddy is on two tracks New Bugatti & Holy Ghost two nice tracks if this is a sign of what is come with their cd Bugatti Boyz then it may be worth a good listen from what I am hearing right now from these tracks. High Definition & Mmg Untouchable is just Rozay showing why he is the King of the 305 and nobody else. Mine Games feat Kelly Rowland at first I was worried but once I heard Kelly on the hook I wasn’t worried in anymore. She hasn’t killed a hook this good since Dilemma with Nelly. If you go do your version of LL love song here is the blueprint on how to do it. Don’t miss I Swear To God & King of Diamonds more solo heat of Rozay by himself to show he can hold it down with or without a guest. Party Heart feat 2Chainz & Stalley because of this mixtape I will no longer call 2Chainz Titty Boi anymore he came with heat on both songs he is on. Newcomer Stalley showed why he was allowed on this mixtape on this track Rozay rode the beat effortlessly to where you can’t deny the skills. Now let’s talk about the joints you don’t want to and can’t miss on this mixtape. Fck Em feat 2Chainz & Wale this song right here is heat Wale showing that his work on Ambition wasn’t a joke and 2Chainz is starting to pick up some steam in his solo career. Rozay came in and killed the beat and the song to remind you why he is the Boss as he says all the time. Title track Rich Forever feat John Legend is just as good as the song if not better they did on Deeper Than Rap “Magnificent” this could have been a single. Rozay bars and Legend soulful voice on the hook you can’t deny this song at all. Last Breath feat Meek Mill & Birdman finally somebody keep up and surpassed Meek Mill on a track last couple mixtapes (fabo & ti) he been killing them but on this on Rozay let it be known it’s his song and Meek is the feature. I don’t know who wrote it but Birdman actually spit a decent set of bars for a change. The top dawg song on this mixtape is Triple Beam Dream feat Nas is that song you put on repeat if you can only listen to one song on this mixtape this is the one. I can’t express enough how both of Rozay & Nas kill this beat the hook. Damnit this song is weapons of mass destruction Bush been looking for. We got “Ether “ Nas on this track and this made Rozay step up to the plate. First listen I thought Nas got Rozay but second listen I think Rozay got Nas. It goes back and forth to where this a classic joint.
To sum up you gotta get this mixtape cause it is one step short of a classic and its early in the year but has set the bar for the rest of the year! Rozay just maybe the boss! I give this 4 out of 5 FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
