Jae Millz - The Last Of The Best

Tuesday, August 8, 2006 | Author: Quinton Hatfield

When the hell will the east coast jump back into the Hip Hop scene? Not just claiming to bring it to bring it back, but one that can actually start a movement to put the east back into the limelight? One fellow who may be up for the task is fly Harlem, NY emcee Jae Millz. Jae is dumping off his new mixtape, Last of the Best, so let’s get to the music.

Fellow New Yorker Fabolous and New Orleans’ Lil Wayne give you the remix of “Bring it Back,” produced by Harlem producer Ron Browz. Ghetto Fab's verse is not the usual catchy bars we’re used to, so it's kind of disappointing. The good thing is you can see the unity of two young New York artists, even if Weezy had the hottest verse of all. Talking that fly Harlem shit, Jae Millz brings you “My Swag” produced by hit maker Scott Storch. The rhymes are good, but not the best of Jae Millz by any means. The hook, however, is ear-catching as Millz lets off: “Get meaner, on the fact that my jewelry is cleaner/ or the way that I lean in the beamer/ or it's the fact that I'm the shit, now I know what it is, it's my swag.” Coming with that “getting money” shit is “Stackin My Dollars” over Three Six Mafia's “Poppin My Collar.” Overall, the Jae’s flow is nice on this one, so the mixtape gets up a couple points. A banger with “You Already Know,” Jae spits, “Motherfucker I'll palm that fifth and put a hole in the middle of ya/ shit like a compact disc, ya/chick flipped better calm that bitch, tell her/ I know where she resides and I'll bomb that shit.

Remy Ma comes through as they give you “What U Wanna Do” on some crazy beat. The remix to Remy Ma's “Conceited” is on the mixtape too, and Jae kills it: “Don't believe the rumors they all liars/they mad cause I'm close to Rem like car tires.” The tracks that give this mixtape the average rating comes from “No Way Out” and “Blood Pressure,” which are freestyles it seems – shit just doesn’t sound so hot. The goods once again comes into play with “Apple on my Back.” I really dig that shit he says on “Can't Nobody” over Rick Ross' “Hustlin” and “Piffonite” over “Kryptonite” by Purple Ribbon All Stars.

One standout track is “Lil Ghetto Boy”; it’s about hard times in the hood and what we have to do to get out. The mixtape begins to close up with some raw verses from Joe Buddens and Stack Bundles on “Six Minutes of Death” and the original “Bring it Back” with fire-spitter Jadakiss. Overall, Jae Millz is a new face to look for in the return of east coast Hip Hop, but he does need to step his game up if he wants to carry the Big Apple on his back. But like they say – if you want it, you can do it.
