Lil Weavah - Home Team
Reviewed By: ULTIMATECDLINK
Album Rate: 4.25 out of 5 Stars



Lil Weavah aka Killa Kamikaze is one of the artists bubbling on the underground in ATL and he drops off his brand new album, Home Team. The album features T.I & the P.$.C., Tupac, Mac Boney, Bo Hagon, T-Rock, Xtaci, & more.

1. Akini (107.9) Intro

2. Home Team-- this one starts off with a tight heavy bassline beat and lot of chantin that will get ya hyper than a muthafucka right off the bat. Lil Weavah got a tight voice and a nice Southern flow on the track and I promise that you'll have to force yourself to move on cause this one will have the clubs crunk as fuck.

3. They Scared (f/ Xtaci)-- this track has a darker demonic beat with a chanting of "they don't wanna buck" in the background in a style made popular by Memphis rappers, Three 6 Mafia. Xtaci has a great flow as well and reminds me of a younger Gangsta Boo but with an easier voice to listen to. Lil Weavah does another great job on the mic on this one. Xtaci and Lil Weavah finish it off with another tight verse each. Man, if radio supported this one as a single, it'd be on for both Weavah and Xtaci. Tight song.

4. You Tried Me-- this one has a laid back symphonic beat with hi-hats kickin over a bassline. Lil Weavah raps about how he's grinding for now until he signs his major label. Catchy hook about his lil shawty also makes this another song that could probably do some damage as a radio single nationally.

5. On The Grind (f/ Mac Boney & T-Rock)-- this one has a tight azz laid back armageddon soundin beat. "I got glocks and shit/poppin shit/rollin sellin rocks and shit..." on the hook. Mac Boney has a nice deeper voice on the mic and will probably be seen later on as a part of T.I.'s P.$.C. crew. T-Rock hits up a verse that shows that he is one of the most underrated rappers out anywhere, not just in the South. Very tight track.

6. Ride With Me Part II-- this track has a laid back snare bassline beat over some brass and church organs. It's a more commercially friendly song that is designed for the females out there as Lil Weavah raps about kickin it with his girl.

7. New National (J-Newt Skit)

8. Po' It Up-- this one has a tight grimey beat with hand clappin and chantin in the background. Lil Weavah raps about a day in the life of Weavah, from smokin to hittin it up in the studio. I'm not a fan of the hook but it's still a short track you can bump.

9. Freestyle For IAP-TV-- this freestyle is over the Jae Millz "No No No" beat. Lil Weavah gives shouts out to Chamillionaire, Yo Gotti, and more for the IAP-TV.com website run by my boy twentydamn9.

10. Trapped-- this one has a midtempo feel with horns and a kickin hi-hat beat. Lil Weavah tells the tale of his life growing up grinding and hustlin on the streets as a youth in the ATL. He does such a good job that you feel like you there right there with him. Bumpin song that you can sit and reminsce to.

11. Same Rider (f/ 2Pac, T.I., & Johnta Austin)-- this track is bascially the song "Changed Man" from the 2Pac "Better Dayz" album. Lil Weavah drops a nice verse between Pac's and T.I.'s verses. Song is still tight rrgardless.

12. Freestyle For DJ Burn One-- this freestyle is over 8Ball & MJG's "Don't Make" beat. Another solid effort on the mic by Weavah.

13. Mom & Pop Shoutouts

14. Hollywood-- this one has a more uptempo beat with the snares snappin over a tight bassline. Lil Weavah raps about how he's destined to be big in the rap game, and after listening to this album, I don't have any doubts about it. Not a big fan of the hook but this kid got skillz.

15. Keep Talkin (f/ Big Kuntry, AK, & C-Rod)-- DJ Cree drops a very tight dark grimey beat on this one. Lil Weavah starts it off and lets you know that you don't wanna beef with him cause he'd take yo azz out. Man, AK, Boney, and C-Rod straight up kill their verses as well. I guarantee you that you'll have this one on repeat. Very tight song.

16. The Block-- not really feelin the beat on this one. Lil Weavah raps about the typical street shit and dope game. Not one of my favorite songs on the album.

17. Just Breathe-- this one has a rock & roll and an I see the light at the end of the tunnel, carry me to heaven blend on the beat. Lil Weavah does a decent job on the mic with rhymes about fuckin his girl. It's an alright track but the beat can get a bit tired toward the end.

18. At The Club-- this one has a funky laid back beat that will have ya noddin along. Lil Weavah raps about gettin drunk, crunk, talkin shit, etc at the club. Not really a crunk track, more of a laid back delivery that matches the beat.

19. Green 4 Da Low (f/ Bo Hagon)-- this one has a tight soundin beat that will remind you of a Lil Jon beat similar to "Quick To Back Down" made for Nas & the Bravehearts. Weavah and Bo Hagon come correct on the track about smokin that dro on the block. Tight ass song.

20. Don't Mind Me-- this one has a feel that will make you wanna split some wigs after listening to it. Another track that you can just sit back and vibe to and will wanna bump again.

21. Still Ballin (f/ The Undacoverz & Young Dro)-- this one has a piano laced beat over a hi-hat and bassline blend. Lil Weavah again raps about being raised on the block and still gettin paid the same way to this day. The Undacoverz and Young Dro do a good job on the mic as well. Good track to end the album off with.

22. Outro

Overall, the production by Jazze Pha, DJ Cree, Devin Johnson, Lil Weavah, Young Dro, Chaos, Kolorado, and the rest of the crew is on point throughout the album. Lil Weavah is one of those artists on the underground that is in a great position to take advantage of the ATL movement that has been taking over rap music in the last few years. Lil Weavah definitely has skills on the mic and I would be shocked if he wasn't at least making guest appearances or didn't have a major label deal in the next 2 years. This album is definitely worth copping if you're a fan of that Dirty South ATL music.
