this is the new compilation presented by Paper Trail Music, entitled Ice Cold Heat compilation. just like the title says, this shit is straight heat, and if u dont have it yet, GET IT. no joke, a lot of people say the new shit sucks, but seriously this compilation is great. also a good chance to recognize some real, new talent from a record label thats on their way to the top in the bay. **if u want to buy this compilation contact Game Warden**

well since he burned this CD for me i dont have a tracklist, i will just name them by track number. there are 19 songs.

Track 01 - well this song has gotta be the best song on this cd, and probly the best song i have heard in a minute. really good track. i love the beat, it doesnt get any better than this, kinda funky bass line and well i dunno how to describe it but u gotta hear it. the artist rapping spit mad heat, great chorus, man i just love this song thats all i can say about it. a masterpiece in my opinion. good lyrics right here from the opening line...... "i've been sellin muthafuckin dope since moms left dad/and im good wit my math/i can flip it i can split it turn a half to a slab/murder any muthafucka playin wit my cash/bought a double up for 50 bucks back in '87/a week later a quarter pound and a black mack eleven/" honestly if someone was on the street and let me listen to that first 20 seconds of the CD, i would buy it right there. this shit is classic. anyway enough of that, this song gets a perfect 5/5.

Track 02 - this song is pretty good too, the beat is different, kind of like an AWOL type bass line with a funky kinda beat. not feeling this song as much as the first one. the artist rapping on this song is good, his lyrics are straight gangsta. i look forward to hearing him later on this CD. the beat isnt working for him, alhough it doesnt take anything away from his skills. good lyrics here....."i bust repetitive with pain that'll make u run and go get a sedative/while u kickin back and u listen to me and say that nigga's negative/or u kick back and u listen to me and say that brotha's raw/but if u talk too much about me i'll dislocate your jaw" this song really grows on u after listening a couple times. ima give it a 4/5. another classic line i forgot to mention..."u got me twisted like black licorice/so i'll put the pistol under your armpit just to see if u was ticklish" lol, shit made me laugh.

Track 03 - this song is pretty tight, theres a voice i recognize on here but i cant put my finger on it. anyway this song is pretty good, beat is good, funky kinda bass line. im feelin this song fosho. the artists are spitting good lyrics, good flow, all around good song. 3/5

Track 04 - woooo bangin beat. kinda like some e-40 shit. im really liking this one. artist is flowing great, deep kinda voice, i think its nutt-so, simple rhymes but it works for this song. the beat is pretty funky, a song to cruise to in your car. the chorus is alright, some chick singin "whats its gonna be/i''ll give u all of me/whats it gonna do/when i let u do what u do...then a couple other lines i dont wanna type out. funky song, kinda of like a party song but i like this tune. 4/5, it should be a 3/5 but the beat was too good it has to be a 4/5

Track 05 - another one of my favorite songs on this cd. straight dope is all i can say. the beat is kinda slower with a dude rappin hella fast kinda like Twista. this song, well i cant say anything else about it but u gotta hear it, straight dope production, so good. loving the beat, loving the rap, loving the vibe and just everything about this song. one to cruise to. good shit. gonna take off .5 from this song cuz it gets annoying after too many listens. one of those tracks that u listen to every once in a while and u just like "ahhh" cuz its so refreshing to hear. anyway u know what i mean. 4.5/5

Track 06 - this song is good, another great production. their rap style is kind of different i think. maybe its just me. but it still works out good cuz this song is bangin. one to cruise down the street to. not much else to say. gonna give this song a 4 cuz the beat so dope. 4/5

Track 07 - this beat has the samebeat from another song which i cant put my finger on. i think its a Mariah Carey beat. but it sounds good, sounds like a mixtape kinda song. anyway they added a couple extra bass lines on the beat and it came out good. i think this is a clubbing song. the rappers are good (theres a dude who sounds kinda like big lurch), song and lyrics is mostly about bitches. good tune, 3.5/5

Track 08 - this song im feeling, doesnt sound like a song from the bay area for some reason. i dunno maybe its cuz i been listening to Lunasicc a lot lately lol. anyway its not bad, the beat is pretty good, but not that great. the rappers are pretty good too, i like the first dudes, and actually the second dude's too, style they remind me of nas crossed with biggie. lol, i dunno either this is a weird song or listening to that AWOL shit fucked wit my listening skills. good tune, not much else to say, will give it a 3/5.

Track 09 - i know i have heard this beat before but they switched it up a bit. kinda sounds like a beat that first degree the DE would flow to. i like it though, pretty sweet, theres this really loud kind of noise every 5 seconds or so that sounds great with the loop of the beat. the rappers rip the song up, good lyrics and flows. i like their styles. what else can i say, a solid 4/5

Track 10 - another dope ass production. this one is a little funkier, more of a club/dance song. but a good one, makes u pop up ya collar. the artists rip the song, good flow and everything. lyrical skills are off the hook. i dont like the chorus too much though. 3.5/5

Track 11 - this song has a wicked beat to start off with, sounds great. mad repetitive bass. haha, i love it. then this high pitched noise comes in with the rest of the drums and shit, this beat is off the hook. dude thats rapping sounds kinda like young droop, but not the same style. good shit i like this song a lot. great production and lyrics and flow. this song gets at least a 4/5

Track 12 - i think its the same dude from track 2, he still aint got a knockin beat to flow to. i mean like the beat isnt that bad, but its not that great. most of you will probly juust skip past, but if u give it a chance to soak in and listen a couple times it will grow on you. the dude rapping is still good, good lyrics and shit he still flowin gangsta but the beat just isnt doing it for me cuz i prefer to hear a good song right from the get go, dont like that shit that has to grow. 3/5

Track 13 - now this is what im talkin about. this beat is fucking great. wicked noises, kinda that funky sound like e-40 and a lot of others use quite a bit. gotta hear to know what i mean.the rappers are great on this song. theres one dude who sounds like Eklypss from Doomsday Productions, his verse is really good. actually all ther verses on this song are tight. ima give this song a 4/5.

Track 14 - this song is good but it doesnt really appeal to me. i mean its pretty tight, i could see why they would put it on the CD, but for some weird reason im not liking it that much. i think it would be better if i was drunk or played it hella loud with a sub woofer in a car or something. the artists come tight fosho. ima give it a 3/5

Track 15 - this song is tight, dude on the hook kinda sounds like TaydaTay which is sweet cuz im a big fan of 11/5. i think its the dudes from track 5. i really like the style. Game Warden, who is it and when is the album coming. the beat is bangin and everything about this song is good, really solid. lyrics are msotly about bein a hustla. really good, probly my third favorite song on the CD....i will give it a perfect 5/5

Track 16 - this song is pretty good, another one of those that dont strike mee to be bangin right off the start. kinda like song 14, just doesnt appeal to me, not my style. im sure theres gonna be some people out there that will love this song straight up. but i dunno. the beat is good, but the rapper's styles are kinda weird. just too blah, lol. the song isnt horrible, not great, just right in the middle. i will give this song a 2.5/5.

Track 17 - now this is my style right here, funky, hard bass, non repetitive. wicked shit i love it. reminds me kind of the I Got 5 On It beat. this song is dope. bangin beat, wicked flow and lyrics. chorus goes "i put that on my momma, i put that on my son, i put that on my cousin, nigga, i put that on my gun" pretty tight. im lovin this song, another oneof my favorites... 5/5

Track 18 - lol, this song is hella funny. the first line is "nigga i fuck wit an ugly bitch" lmao. the whole song is bascially about a dude who is fuckin an ugly bitch but dont wanna tell his homies. there are some classic lyrics here....."i cant thank no hizzo's unless its one of those that'll iron all my clothes and shine my brand new vogues" LMAO, and he spits it sooooo smooth, my favorite line out of this whooooole CD. i love that shit, more stuff, heres the chorus......"but u aint gotta sing the chorus cuz i know how it is, fuckin wit an ugly bitch 2 in the morning and shit, tell your homies that she fine but she ugly as fuck, and we aint seen her cuz u got her stashed all in the cut"the dudes style is wicked, he has a great rapping voice. Game Warden where can i get some more of his shit. wicked song, on the short side (2:46) and kind of bad quality, but i dont give a shit. 5/5

Track 19 - now we approach the final song of the album. its sad, i know, cuz this album is dope. i want more lol. anyway the album goes out on a good note. kind of slower song, a little more laid back. im likin it, good beat, good rappin and flows. good lyrics, i like it. although its good, its not great. 3/5



well there u have it, the long anticipated Ice Cold Heat album. i have been waiting to receive this in the mail for so long. and it was WELL worth the wait. from the first line to the last note, this album is the best compilation i have heard this year. i knnow all the buzz is about that new apartment 3 but i havent heard that yet. this is definitely a real solid compilation thats well worth the cash. i will put it this way, 10 bucks is a steal for this cd..those who cop it will not be disappointed. this compilation would get at least a 4/5 overall

well, there u have it, yall read my review, and hopefully u gonna cop the album, i highly recommend it.... for info and ordering contact Game Warden or go to cdbaby.com/papertrial , only 10 bucks for a great compilation from a dope record label with so much talent. check it out yall. thats my 2 cents, peace
