Waka Flocka, ‘DuFlocka Rant 2′ – Mixtape Review

Waka Flocka Flame is still going hard in the paint. What you thinking, huh? The Brick Squad leader has just dropped his new mixtape, 'DuFlocka Rant 2,' which is a sequel to his original 2011 effort of the same name.

The collection, which mimics the cover of the popular NBA 2K13 video game, boasts 16 trap music tracks. Rappers Gucci Mane, French Montana, Ace Hood, Lil Wayne and Brick Squad Monopoly members Young Scooter, Frenchie, Wooh da Kid and Ice Burgandy all make guest appearances. As for producers, Flocka's go-to hitmaker Lex Luger contributes beats as well as Southside and C Note.

Flocka, who calls himself DuFlocka Rant -- as in his favorite b-baller Kevin Durant -- turns it up on hot joints like 'Fell,' 'Hood Rich,' 'Brother's Keeper' and 'Ain't Right.' On the standout 'Real Recognize Real,' the Atlanta rapper name-drops college sports players over a bass-heavy beat full of eerie synths. "I be turn up / I hit hard like Sam McGuffie / Kick game like I'm Brad Wing / Too in it like Elijah Thomas / Eat a rapper, no Jeffrey Dahmer," he raps.

'DuFlocka Rant 2' is a preview to his next album, 'Flockaveli 2,' which is a work in progress. The album is expected to feature production from Wyclef Jean and Timbaland.
