New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Beats on Blaze has some really original sounding Beats with not much generic variation so it has really strong underground premise in the way that actually sounds yet some of the intros sound a little distorted too much for my taste however though some of the melodies in the way of flows are very interesting its kind of catchy.
It has amounts of 14 tracks with some of them extending to the four-minute mark which is kind of unusual for professional produced tracks but make sense for these instrumentals I'd say personally the vibe of these melodies, are different than what's expected yet it's similar to to 2004 trap music with a slight reggae feel. The bass on many of these is phenomenal go on certain tracks overpowering but Pleasant to listen to none of the less. Though I say production-wise it's not my personal preference in for older sounding Beats but it's refreshing that someone can break the mold knowing a thing or two. I definitely say this album itself is worth listening to at least once maybe even freestyling with some friends on the beats but I couldn't see these Productions having too many commercial successors though I would say the music maker himself does a pretty good job of composing.

It's not that this doesn't have catchy Tunes but it's a little sloppy for my ears compared to what's out right now though to be honest if this was released in the mid-90s it would be more current yet the song style is a little past its prime.
Though personally not bad I still salute the music maker behind the Productions as I know what it feels to be experimentally creative while using a formula. I would say the rhythms are a little more 4 club dances rather than 4 flows:
Because they don't flow fluidly as basic 4 the syllabic voicing call and response style of rap.
Though this self isn't a bad thing in my personal opinion if the producer that created these had put more variance with a little bit more powerful mixing the album itself would sound a little more cleaner to shop it's instrumentals publicly for artists.
I give it a 3.5 out of five stars. Overall catchy melodies nice grooves but needs a little more flavor in the mix. Definitely fun checking out the first time not much replayability.
I would like to see more from this producer and future albums with him still doing this style but with slight more polish sound that has a little bit more current modern touch.
