Strap Da Fool Jaking 4 Beats
A member if Rap trio Travis Porter, Strap Da Fool drops mix-tape Jaking 4 Beats. Hailing from Decatur, GA this LP is a mix-tape gem. Strap rhymes as a street scholar. Travis Porter is known for popular club hits, “Aay Ladies” and “Make It Rain”. This mix-tape shows true grit. Strap Da Fool is confident about his skills, compiling a mix-tape of 20 tracks. He takes his cues from Southern all-stars Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy. The concept of Jacking for beats arose from the Ice Cube album AmerikkA’s Most Wanted in 1990. Since being established in rap, artist have challenged themselves to tackle the original productions of coveted beat makers. While listeners like new content, mix-tapes gained popularity on the backs of lyricism over well-known instrumentals. These intellectual exercises make for memorable freestyles, or rap greatness.
He begins with vicious ghetto stories and down home Atlanta sound grid. He totes hi-flying karate chop punchlines. The mixture of a lavish lifestyle and rotating bottles. Strap Da Fool delivers poetic justice. He continues the 90’s flavor from mix-tapes like No Love Lost and Well Timed. He sounds similar to T.I., in that, he artfully finesses the street game. He flips the album into Red October type of saturated LP incorporating Southern cadences and rhetoric. The New Orleans Bounce isn’t dead either the second half of the mix=tape samples Juvenile tracks like, “Bounce Back”, “Set It Off”, and “In My Life.” Everyone has rhymed over various instrumental but Strap Da Fool is now the latest and greatest. “Girls in Da Club,” draws from Southern rappers, 8-ball and MJG’s classic, “Sho-nuff,” the remix is well executed. Overall his bars have been remixed to the listeners delight, the tape jams. From Lost Boyz classic ‘Renee” to legendary Outkast and Notorious B.I.G.
The Dirty South is dominated by independent artists known for doing big things from the streets to the studio. Pledging allegiance to the Thug Life, Strap has the genuine approval of his fellow rappers. He officially gives a champagne toast to the haters. Essentially the perception of entering the mind of a emcee can sometimes be a proverbial nightmare. However the balance of good and evil is evident. The clarity this rapper brings is a rare rap essence. Strap is a new-age lyrical “low-life.” Respectfully emerging from the bottom to master his craft. He shows love to multiple coasts. Overall this is a dope emcee sending a message. Jacking for beats has pushed the game to refocus emcees from unsigned hype to veteran status. Now available on all mix-tape outlets.
