La Cosa Nostra Tha Mixtape is an exciting hip hop release comprised of nineteen scorching hot tracks that make fire feel cold in comparison. The beats are abrasive and infused with flavor beyond the limitations of taste. Each song hits hard with witty, well written and delivered lyrics seasons especially for the playa’s of the world. The rhyme content is entertaining, fun and real. This hip hop album is a keystone piece to any collection. It is exceptionally entertaining music that is as euphoric on the fiftieth listen as it is on the first. Featuring Pimp C, Bon B, Klas One, Slim Thug, SPM, Pimpin Van, Beno, T Boy, Lil Od and Royal Army this album contains talent. Each artist shines bright contributing their unique flavor that combines in a melting pot of intensity and musical euphoria that dazzles fans like deers in headlights. The Infamous Playa Family comes with that playalistic sound that is high with bounce and deeply felt. The music gets fans moving and grooving effortless. Each song carries the same high octane impact making the whole album noteworthy like a nice set of double D’s.
The albums best tracks include “Watch Tha Poparazzi”, “Pop Ya Collar”, “Give It Up” and “How U Want It”. All of the songs are as tight as handcuffs on a shop lifter and as brilliant as a RZA beat. There is not one track on this album that is lackluster. Each song flows perfectly into the next giving the album an incredible replay factor.

The presentation of the music is as nice as the music itself. The production quality is as strong as major hip hop release. The sound is clear and powerful.
The rhyme content contains many references to real times in the life of a playa. The subject matter of most songs is light hearted and fun. This is music fans can relate to while tuning into. There are some references to a commercialized world filled with bling and ice; however, the words are well put together and the rhymes have a evident meaning and message. This is not a conceptual album but a fun album that does an exceptional job at drawing fans into the music and making them hinge of the words while they uncontrollably nod to the beats.
This is a keystone piece fans need to add to their collection. There is no disappointment. This album is a mandatory listen. Word to the Infamous Playa Family for keeping their ish tight.
