Rockie Fresh, ‘Electric Highway’ – Mixtape Review

Rockie Fresh is in the driver's seat cruising to victory with his 'Electric Highway' mixtape. The Chicago rapper, who is signed to Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group, takes listeners on an aural trip of weed, cash and women.

Among the hit-makers providing the soundtrack for Rockie's journey include Lifted, the Gift, Boi-1da, Big Jerm and others. Fellow rhyme-spitters Ross, Nipsey Hussle, Curren$y and fellow Chi-Town emcee Sasha Go Hard are in the passenger's seat helping Fresh move in the right direction with his tape.

One interesting track, 'Superman OG,' features the sounds of a lighter and bills flipping in a money counter as Fresh spits tough talk over haunting synths. "I got the team with me / The whole scene with me / I stand tall, no lean / But I bought some green with me," he raps.

On 'Life Long,' Fresh, Rozay and Hussle rap about obtaining success by any means necessary. "My style is all natural / Bars is all factual / Want a verse, I'ma tax you / I'm spinning like I'm on an axle / Surviving even though I'm sick / Magic Johnson money s---," spits Fresh.

'Show Me Sumthin' stands out due to Sasha Go Hard's infectious hook and biting rhymes. On 'Roll Up Right Now,' Fresh and Curren$y rap about the commodities of whipping vintage cars and making money. On 'Father Forgive 'Em,' the MMG artist recalls his early rap struggles and the haters who tried to thwart his goals.

Hopefully, Rockie Fresh will finish his long journey to the top with a successful major-label debut on Maybach Music Group.
