The indefatigable Young Chris rumbles on; preparing for a solo album that the streets can consume. He’s already dropped to volumes of the Network mixtape with Don Cannon and a steady stream of heat to keep the fire burning. His latest banger, “Flow of Da Year” finds him going hard for the cause over the Lloyd and Lloyd Banks “Any Girl” track.
Chris removes Lloyd’s R&B sound immediately by doing away with the singing. His delivery is freestyle, without regards to a particular bar count or a narrative; simply going all out to destroy the beat. The verse is a mixture of style and delivery, with Young Chris growing in his presence and his flavor on the track. He’s slowly getting away from the Jigga-stolen whisper steeze and taking his vocals different places. Like “Beemer, Benz or Bentley” it’s another fire beat that will probably find other people rocking over, but Chris does it justice.
Lyrically, there isn’t anything revolutionary but it’s solid I’m that dude type stuff. You can hear the Philly in his cadence and the way he chops off words. There’s the gun talk as usual and the floss but what it does prove is that Chris isn’t just sitting on his ass waiting for the luck to come back, he’s going out to get it. Just enough to make you want to hear the rest of the work. Flow of the year? I don’t know that I can go that far, but it is very good mixtape fodder.
