Custom Made – Compton Effect

Description

“Compton Effect” is a gritty and engaging project by Los Angeles-based rap group Custom Made, released on September 3, 2015, through DT Projections. The mixtape is a testament to the group’s ability to create raw, authentic hip-hop music that reflects the reality of life in Compton and the surrounding areas.

The mixtape starts with “Compton Scattering,” setting the stage for an intense listening experience that delves into the urban landscape and the struggles faced by those living there. “Skelter” and “Take’n The Heat Again” continue to paint a vivid picture of life in the city, with hard-hitting beats and compelling lyrics.

“Boneyard Christmas” and “Red Pineapple” showcase Custom Made’s storytelling prowess and their ability to create atmospheric tracks that transport listeners to another world. “Aboriginal Eight-Ball” and “Sharpen Your Steel” bring a more aggressive energy to the mixtape, while “Juice Monkey” and “Dead Willow Park” provide a perfect balance between introspection and raw emotion.

“Freestyle Up,” “Bang Bang,” and “Squad Formation” demonstrate the group’s versatility and skill as they switch between different styles and flows with ease. “Chaos Patrol” and “Val In Mind” explore the darker aspects of life on the streets, while “Old South Tricycle” and “I’m On Parole” tackle the consequences of living in such an environment.

“Soda Pop,” “Crash Bars,” and “Remember Your Roots” serve as a reminder of the importance of staying grounded, regardless of the circumstances. The mixtape comes to a close with “Rack ‘N’ O’pinion” and “The Hour Of Power,” solidifying Custom Made’s status as a force to be reckoned with in the hip-hop scene.
