A-Wax - Savage Timez












There weren't many consistent releases around the new Millenium, which is what makes this disc stand out. That and the unconditional grimeyness debuted by Wax here and then continuing for a few years. The main character tells street stories from a rugged & carefree perspective. 

The intro is clean with rob-lo flexing his production skills (dope beat, classic movie sample & what is the track at the end of it???). 
"Rappa", "Around the World", "Kryme Pays", and "Street Thugs" are very well-produced and made The same can be said for the title track, Beneficial, & Journey (not my favorite Wax & Woodie beat but great nonetheless). 

Songs like "P/G style" and "Talk iz Cheap"  sound good but have limited replay value. 

Overall a very fun listen created by what we can assume was a shoestring budget. This was when he just got out of jail but he was/is determined.


8/10
