Kanye brought us G.O.O.D. Fridays and now @therealswizzz is bringin' the heat every Monday with Monster Mondays. Truth be told I actually like this week's track a little better because that @lexusluger beat goes hard on Ace Hood's new track Hustle Hard, but this track has a little more first listen familiarity as it Swizz borrowed (debatably) the most recognizable piano sample in Hip Hop history. Peep the original Pac below...
That song will never get old...#Truth. I'd say when it comes to the production on the new track, I can respect what Swizzy did with the familiarity of the piano sample, but unfortunately the verses come up way short as Maino and Jim Jones leave a lot to be desired. Can't hate too much though, both Jada and Captain YOAWA brought it on their verses and did their part to carry their sub-par brethren on the track. Interesting track with potential to get more than a few heads nodding, especially in the Five Boroughs...

Every now and again Juelz drops a track that blows me away and puts him right back towards the top of my list of favorite rappers. He's definitely got that witty swag about his verses, similar to say Fabolous or even what Drake is now showing us. He really does tend to step his game up whenever he get's to rap over great beats. I'll give you three of my favorites that serve as lesser known examples of great Santana verses:
1. All I gotta say is the Heatmakerz are fools for the following beat. Earlier in this decade they did some some of the most unique sampling on their beats and produced some crazy stuff, mostly for Diplomats. This is a shining example too, sort of a booty shakin anthem and Juelz is the ringleader. Check it out:
2. I'll adamantly deny ever being a fan of anything Jim Jones, but he seems to bring out the best in Juelz, so I cope. Needless to say the deep bassline and haunting organ make this track infectious. Oh yea did I mention Juelz's Hall of Fame verse...do yourself a favor and fast forward to it.
3. Ah back in the day when all was well in the Dipset neighborhood...Cam and Juelz did some classic ish back in the day, no denying that. And this stadium jumpoff beat is simply more evidence of that. I may even like Juelz's verse on this one better than Emotionless, it's that classic.
Anyways, back to the heat rock at hand, here's Juelz's new high energy single title Mixin' Up the Medicine. I tell ya what, there's just somethin' about the southern, country Alabama dialect on this chorus that YelaWolf delivers that is fresh. Do yourself a favor and play this one at the next party you go to and watch everyone start chanting the chorus by the 3rd hook. Lords know I will be practicin' what I preach...can't wait to get this on wax. Check it out:
Oh and by the way, Kane Beatz you are officially on my radar...my antennas is up...I see you especially on this track (props to Smoking Section for the assist).

Here's a bonus joint from that aforementioned crazy white tatted Alabama rising superstar with flow known as YelaWolf. Give his new track a moment of your time if you would...
