Maybach Music Group "Self Made Vol. 1"



7.5/10

Lyrics:
Together, Rick Ross, Wale, Meek Mill, and Pill, create the Maybach Music Group with Ross being the biggest boss that you seen thus far. Although I am not a big fan of Ross, respectively the album content revolves around Ross, and Wale is the closest one that can go head-to-head with Ross lyrically. Meek Mill and Pill, are dope as well but they still need growth since they are newer artists. Songs like "Play Your Part" highlight some of the better lyrical content and word play on the album. Some of the topic are pretty creative (and influenced by the Ross) like "Tupac Back" by Meek Mill and Ross, and "Pacman" by Pill and Rick Ross It is a nice diverse group that contribute different rapping styles.  

Production:
The production consists of some beats by Lex Luger and The Inkredibles, which are two production styles I like a lot because they always get you amped. If it wasn't produced by them, the album consists production that tries to emulate the same sound as Luger's and and the Inkredibles'.  

Overall:
I think this is a solid album, after a while it can get repetitive because of the content and production selection. But it is cool to see these four rappers come together and put this project out. It mos def has music that you can bump in your card and those laid back songs you can just relax and smoke too. Maybach Music!
