DJ Ken & Hype Radio Presents Antagonist “Blood Diamondz” Mixtape
Release Date: February 5, 2009
Album: Blood Diamondz Mixtape
Review: “Blood Diamondz” is Antagonist’s follow-up to his recent successful Biggy Jiggy-presented instrumental “HD Studio Beats“ mixtape. “Blood Diamondz” contains several snippets, interludes and an intro and outro from the motion picture “Blood Diamonds”. The title track Blood Diamondz showcases Antagonist’s production skills and offers a set of different vocals issued with fiery delivery. Dey Wit Me features some auto-tuned ANT along with some really good vocal production. Co-Defendant is an older track from ANT that first appeared on a Biggy Jiggy “Exclusive Tunes” mixtape; its a good remix. No Options features Antagonist spitting over Fifty’s “I Get It In”. The Games Been Good To Me is a guitar-heavy track with a laid back feel that features ANT singing. The Lost remix is another good example of ANT’s vocal production skills, where he applies the auto-tune very well. Extacy is a vocal heavy track co-produced by Skitzo & Antagonist and one of a few co-produced joints. ANT gives “something for the ladies” on the remix to Flo Rida’s You Can Be My Shone, which is one of the better tracks on the tape. Camera Phone has such a sick beat and ANT makes sure to pay homage to South Florida and Cool & Dre on the track. On the southern rap track Errrrbody Know, Antagonist sets the scene telling you to ”sit back on yo porch, sip some So Co and swamp juice.” The track was co-produced by Stupid Genius and ANT and is one of the best original tracks on the tape. Cash is the best example of Antagonist’s ability to rhyme, flow, and ride a beat. Supastar is another Antagonist co-produced track with Cam-Bodia, which seems to a popular form of collaboration for the West Palm rapper/producer. Bigga Than A Elephant features more fire production by L-Don and ANT and Movin’ is another tight piece of solo production by Antagonist. A few of these tracks are remixes that maintain vocals from the original compositions and give ANT a chance to shine as both a producer and as an emcee alongside recognizable features on the track. You don’t see many rappers like ANT these days that are also producing nearly all of their own material. With his “HD Studio Beats” and “Blood Diamondz” mixtape, the CaliFlorida Productions boss is off to a running start in 2009.
