Another more than solid west coast album from D.A.Z. It is a formulaic Dillinger album - it begins bangin' with 'Destruction Adds Up to Zero', gets more vibey in the middle and the subject matter goes toward the opposite sex, and then it finishes with some more hardcore west coast bangers. Well worth checking out if you have enjoyed anything Daz has created in recent times.
Best Tracks: D.A.Z. (Destruction Adds Up to Zero), $till Get'N Money, Don't U Eva 4 Get
I've probably said it in many of my reviews of Daz's albums but he is comfortably a top 5-10 rapper/producer and doesn't get enough praise. You have Paris, Erick Sermon, Kanye, Large Pro to name a few in the top bracket and Daz definitely belongs. He is still doing it in 2018 as well.
This is just a consistent west coast release easy to play from start to finish with some standouts. 'Drama' and 'Load Up' are bangin'. 'Bitch Bitch Bitch Make Me Rich' is an extremely funky, catchy tune. 'Redrum Galour!' offers something different with some electric guitars hitting the drums. The title track offers some funk with fire rapping. 'For the Moment' is the slowest, 'vibe-iest' tune here and is another standout.
Beats: ★★★★☆
Bars: ★★★☆
Best Tracks: Drama, Bitch Bitch Bitch Make Me Rich, We Do This Passion!, Load Up, For the Moment.
If you like a lot of previous stuff from Daz like me, you'll like this one, if you don't then stay away. Obviously with Daz you are getting rap to tap your foot to as opposed to being blown away by complex lyrics.
I wrote a review after a couple of listens of this album, but after listening to his latest album, 'Public Enemiez', I got in the mood for more Daz and this has grown on me. The problem is that this album drops off in the middle, however, it has some good tracks toward the end which I've found with another listen. There are some bad tracks like 'I'm From the Hood', 'I'm tha Dopeman', and while tracks nine to thirteen aren't horrible, they are fairly skippable, but there is some good Daz on offer. An album shouldn't need to take a long time for you to enjoy it, but there is more here than I thought.
Best Tracks: My Summer Vacation, Squeeze, Meal Ticket, Blaze Up the Weed, Regretz, My Wayz R Shady
As I say in many Daz reviews, you'll know what to expect on this if you've heard anything from Daz. Some good hard gangsta rap and some west coast vibey beats as well. As with his previous album, 'Public Enemiez', there is quality control here, with only ten tunes making it an easy album to play. Standouts are probably the hard opener 'Gott Damn!!!' and the title track 'Matter of Dayz' which would have fit perfectly on the recent Dogg Pound album '100 Wayz'. As I mentioned, if you are a fan you'll find something on this.
Best Tracks: Gott Damn!!!, Matter of Dayz, We Don't Die We Multiply, Pussy Azz Nigga
