Jarren is back with another humorous mixtape! This one has some funnier, offensive raps in it. This will please people that enjoy Jarren's humor, like me for example. Even though some people may not like the raps he spits, he’s still pretty good and he’s always having some fun while writing these raps! One thing Jarren does have, that many rappers don't have, is no limits. Jarren seems to not have any limits whatsoever, which might be the reason I really enjoy his raps. He has a lot of skills, and I’d be lying if I said he wouldn't go far. He will go pretty far in his career, or at least I hope he will. When it comes to rap, Jarren is one of my favorite rappers to date. There’s just something about his flow, and the beats that he uses that make him stand out in the genre. These skills help him to be a little bit better than everyone else in the genre, that I've listened too. A few songs that stand out on this mixtape would have to be, “Freebasing Prod By Kato”, “Billion Bucks Ft. Rittz Jon Connor Prod By Kato”, “F ck You Too Ft. 2 Chainz Planet VI”, “Shut Up Bitch”, ” No Homo Phone Call”, ” Problem Ft. Playboy Tre Prod By Charles Chizzy Stephens III”, and “Sick Prod By M16”. “Freebasing Prod By Kato” may seem like a dis to certain rappers, and Tupac? But that might just be the limit parts. Jarren isn't afraid to say anyones name, and this is just the first song on the whole mixtape. It really shows some crazy stuff that Jarren can spit. He did this on his first mixtape too, he showed the listener his humor, and a little bit of what to expect on the rest of the mixtape. “Billion Bucks Feat Rittz, Jon Connor Prod By Kato”, is second song on the mixtape. It's the longest song on the mixtape. It even features another rapper that I highly enjoy; Rittz! Rittz is white, and he’s laid back. He's not like Jarren at all, but he does spit some heavy stuff. “Billion Bucks Feat Rittz, Jon Connor Prod By Kato”, is probably my favorite song on the mixtape. It shows more of Jarren's raps. I’ll point out Rittz verse a bit; he raps pretty fast so you may not really catch it clearly, but that’s okay, that just means you’ll have to give the song another play. “F ck You Too Ft. 2 Chainz Planet VI”, yes... 2 Chainz manages to feature on this song. It seems like 2 Chainz is getting his name out there more than ever before. I see him featured in almost every album/mixtape that I've downloaded from the rappers that I like. I’d be lying if I said 2 Chainz isn’t a good rapper. He’s not the best, but he definitely has some skills! His raps always change in his features, which is something good for him. His style is different in almost every song he does. This might be something that gives him more of an edge in the rap genre. Other than 2 Chainz in this song, this is another song that might be another favorite of mine because of how it turned out. The beat really matches all the features flows very well, which is something that’s very good about this song. “Shut Up Bitch”, is another song that shows Jarren's humor quite well. The song meaning shows that he has no limits. The song's basically telling someone that's really annoying (girlfriend, friends, baby momma's, even your mom!) to shut up. This song really made me laugh at some of the verses! Even the intro is pretty funny, and I definitely give Jarren props to be able to write a song that’s funny and have a meaning that many rappers wouldn’t do. It clearly show that Jarren has NO limits whatsoever. The whole mixtape does! However, this is one of the songs that shows it more. “No Homo Phone Call”, is basically an interlude that is seriously funny. It’s a phone call between two guys; one that’s “homo”, and one that’s straight. The ones that’s “homo”, keeps complementing guys and saying “no homo” afterwards,  to make himself seem straight. Then near the end, his “homo” side really came out. He was talking about massaging his friend, with some new lotion that he got. Then to end the interlude off with a bang and to make it even more funny, he starts talking about an NFL player's dick that he saw, and he says it’s really “packin'". That really made me laugh. Throughout the song, you’ll hear a rather old song, but it’s definitely making the interlude funnier. The song is rather nice… I mean if you’re into old love songs. “Problem Ft. Playboy Tre Prod By Charles Chizzy Stephens III”, is a song that features a lot of rappers I didn’t know until I heard this song. Playboy Tre, has a pretty sick flow, I’m not going to lie about that. I may look into him more. The song overall, is pretty great. I wish it was a song you could've heard earlier into listening to this mixtape. It would have been a bit better, but either way it’s still pretty good. “Sick Prod M16”, is the last song on the mixtape, and this is the one that the “stoner” listeners may like more than the other fans, because the beat is something that could be considered trippy at it’s start!
 Breakdown:
Cleans: Jarren's vocals are unique, and have improved a lot from his first mixtape which is something I noticed right off the top. I enjoyed it right away. I love seeing how Jarren is changing, and improving. I cannot wait for his next mixtape. Or maybe even an album? On a label? That’d be pretty neat to see Jarren boost up in his career! I’ll keep listening to Jarren, I have high hopes for this man!
Beats: The beats were definitely different, and they fit with every song on this mixtape. Some of them even had some spice to them, and sounded way better than the other ones Jarren had used before. I’d like to see him use different beats on his next mixtape. Maybe more unique ones, with some twists? It’d still be neat to see him freestyle a bit, maybe as an interlude.
