Review: Do My Dew Mixtape

DJ Hi Def returns to the typical mixtape scene with his all new "Do My Dew" mixtape. Featuring tracks by the likes of J.R. Writer, B.O.B., Ghostface Killah, and Joe Budden does an adequate job of keeping tracks well organized to give this offering a cohesive sound and the 25 tracks provided give the listener a good variety of styles to choose from. Highlights come from wholly original tracks by Hi Def associate Jay Burna. Two of which were produced by the tandem RMG who show great production range on the three tracks they contributed. As cliche as it may sound, the best is left for last. In this case being the 50 Cent track "Paranoid" in which Fif continues to show his murderous side over the beat for the Wu Tang track "Heaterz". Unfortunately this mix never reaches the highs of Def's previous mixtape "The Mack Is Back" and suffers from the inclusion of two tracks from his yet to be released (but already reviewed) "Premier Issue Vol. 7: HOVA Edition" and "The Winning Ticket EP" as well as third Jay-Z blend that had ended up on the cutting room floor. Add to that the incessant "Ya Hoo Mountain Dew" drops peppered throughout which, although quite funny at first, begin to sound like a nails on a chalkboard by the time you are only a few tracks in. Nontheless, this is still a success for Hi Def and I fully recommend for download.

Final Verdict: 8.3 out of 10
