With
Master P and No Limit infecting the music industry with their
unique brand of southern flava, New Orleans has been an
increasing hotbed of rap talent for almost a decade.
With No Limit, Master P pioneered a new era creating a
blueprint for independent success in the industry.
Now, several years and several millions of dollars later, P is
back on the scene with the New No Limit.
Look closely, and you’re sure to notice many of his previous
artists M.I.A this time around. Nor will you hear music from
the Beats By The Pound production camp.
When the most high-profile artist on your label isn’t even old
enough to drive (legally that is), your street credibility is
gonna be in question.
It’s highly unlikely that P Miller can re-capture the success
he had with the original No Limit, but like his brother Silk
said, “…sometimes you gotta charge it to the game...”
One of P’s most promising up and coming artists is 20 year-old
Choppa, reppin’ Marrero, Louisiana. Now if you rock Girbaud’s,
Reeboks, and white tees, then Choppa’s New No Limit debut
Straight From The N.O. is the joint for you.
This ain’t the cat from Puff Daddy’s “Making The Band Show”,
who is also from New Orleans. This Choppa has been holdin’ it
down for several years, but just recently gained national
acclaim with the hit single “Choppa Style”, which has been out
for two years.
Choppa was able to parlay his local success into a deal with
No Limit, and is now ready for the big time with his new
album.
What I like about Straight From The N.O. is that Choppa’s just
having fun doin’ his thing.
All of the tracks are up-tempo, club-type joints.
Making Straight From The N.O. a good CD to bump in your
system.
Choppa’s not saying anything that ain’t been said before
though his voice sounds more like it’s Juvenile on several
songs.
Don’t expect too much lyrically, as Choppa spits lines like,
“…you can catch me ridin’ down on your block on dub
deuces/right through that Magnolia, where they love shootin…”
Some of the better tracks are “Represent Yo Block” with B.G.,
“Hatin’”, and “Gettin’ Money”. Production is decent.
Mainly provided by Kenoe, Sinista, and Full Pack.
One of the best aspects of the album is that Master P only
rhymes on one track.
Guest spots are kept to a minimum, with fellow 504 Boyz Weebie
and Curren$y making the best contributions.
Choppa could easily get lost in the shuffle with so many MC’s
out of the South making noise in the game.
With a solid national debut, Choppa can hopefully start
building the foundation for a successful career.
