One word struck after listening to this free mixtape by the 23 year old emcee out of San Bernardino. The word is BASS! If I had subs I think this project would blow the windows. With crystal clear production throughout and a number of southern infused stabs and delivery, this is a mixtape for the streets. Du2ce manages to use a number of lyrical and production techniques creatively throughout and where some albums can over-do the technology bit, this rapper never does. The passion for God, for his fire and the truth of Christ are never far from his lips, perhaps best shown by his cry "Lord, set me on fire. so I can go higher". Where some projects (and emcees) fear to tread, Du2ce calls things as they are ("It's All Gone Burn") with God's final judgment called to mind and set against the temporary things of this world. With some tasty drops and vocals from Rachel and the laid back southern flow of Path, there is variation as well on the track "Can't Do This Alone" while there's a dancey vibe on "More Of You". The mixtape ends on the big (near anthemic) "Thy Will Be Done" as Du2ce brings more spiritually insightful rhymes.
