Treylen & JP The Avant - 2 For 99 (Remix)
Everyone's favorite Hood Hippie is back with "2 for 99," & firstly, the cigars he's gutting to be then stuffing with only the finest herbs are 2 for 99. Secondly, we get Treylen plus JP the Avant remixing two songs off of last year's magnum opus "A Hippie in Tha Hood," which also happens the be the final two songs on that album. It's beautiful that the producer of both these smashers is getting his shine; I'm sure we'll hear more from JP The Avant moving forward, but since Treylen is already being generous, why not pack more into one? He slides us a little something extra with guest appearances from a new artist now on my radar in Pbass & another connoisseur of good smoke who would be none other than Reek, so you know your lungs are about to be filled with it!
I had a feeling a remix for "Trap Vibez" was coming & I am thrilled it's getting the attention it's been getting & more than deserved. When I 1st took in the album, that was, of course, the main song that stood out to me. You know a hit when you hear it & this one is that, so it's fitting that he felt the need to do it justice with a visual to go along with it not too long ago. Here we get an extra verse from Pbass, who adds a monotone flow that moves so swiftly & syncs perfectly into the 'trap vibez' of this record & it's beautiful that Treylen has given him the chance to shine, for he knows definitely an artist we're sure to keep our eyes on!
Then we get the smooth, bouncy soul of "Pass That," it seems here that he reimagined the song & everything. He added some new verses just as flaming as the original, even swapping Big Dream, who undoubtedly did his thug thizzle on the original. Yet, Reek fits so snug on this one, which is why they work so perfectly off of each other, the chemistry is palpable & the skill is undeniable. I'm not sure I've ever heard feel-good music this intricate lyrically. When Treylen calls himself rookie of the year, anybody who's been paying attention to him knows precisely why; he raps like he hasn't even scratched the surface of what he's capable of doing.
