Artist: Bobby Deniro
Album Title: Mucho Dinero
 

Illadelph's own X-Factor Records presents to you: Bobby Deniro and his debut album Mucho Deniro. The debut is impressive in that three of the album's cuts are already featured in the independent film Immoral Incident. It all begins with U Want Some, which is a cool track that works a hard kick drum in the style of the Dirty South both in its track and Bobby's double beat rhyming. It works. It's not the typical 215 sound but that's not a bad thing in the name of variety. I Want you Back takes the bar up another notch because it has a phat R&B songstress riding the break with a refrain that bookends the verses well. I like this track. It sounds like some Cali Funk stuff and I'm a big fan of that style. Bobby's influences are all over the place. He represents well. Baby Its Real sounds like the Bay Area's Paris to me. See if y'all notice the same thing. It rides a familiar R&B riff bouncing on a tight track. This is easily the album's best song and has the potential to take Bobby to bigger and better things. This cut instantly had my head noddin.' This is a daytime single with cross regional potential. I think this type of laid back jazzy funk best suits Bobby Deniro's lyrical patterns. The parental advisory comes into full effect, as the album moves on to A.D.I.D.A.S. The title is a play on the age-old acronym "All Day I Dream About Sex." This is where Bobby Deniro's porn star persona is most evident although he repeatedly relies on it through the effort. This cut is in the same vein as Kool G. Rap's Talk About Sex but without the phat beat to back it up. The A.D.I.D.A.S. romp is 100% raw, raw, rawness with guest appearances from the equally explicit female rapper Tasha and Bobby's partner from the group Moore Deniro: Sean Moore.

Sean's flow is tight and the rhyme is hittin'. The After Party is a cliqued tale that suffers from weak production but does include a promising hook that could work in conjunction with a better track. After The After Party, Bobby lays down five instrumental tracks for cuttin, scratchin' or just freestylin' to. All five of the breakbeats are butter. The production is on point. This is the arena where Bobby Deniro truly shines. His rhyming skillz are adequate but the beats are his bread and butter.

I see a bright future here. I think y'all will agree.
