Add2-More-Missed-Calls-Front-Cover

 

Add-2 is tired of wack rappers. Trust me, I know: we have had numerous Facebook conversations about this particular subject. So, instead of continuously talking about it, he decided to do something about it. He plans on putting out music that people SHOULD gravitate to. Call it a healthy alternative or call it “making real music”. However, More Missed Calls is pretty immaculate in its own right.

 

If anything, Add-2 is such an impressive and immaculate lyricist. For example, on “Almighty Add-2”, he notes “If It ain’t a run on sentence, your period ain’t late”. On “Reset”, he notes that “When you acting like a pussy, your regrets will always eat ya”. In addition, the track “Eulogy” allows him to say things like “Run in different directions like Trinidad James’ teeth”. In short, Add-2 has lyrics to marinate over.

 

Don’t be fooled by the lyrical gymnastics that Add-2 is good for: he has some conceptual tracks that make More Missed Calls an even more solidified composition. “Paper” provides a personification of money and how it goes through some transactions in the hood. “Couples Therapy” looks at issues of loves from both sides of the relationship. The aforementioned “Reset” deals with people wanting to seriously change their lives. So, there is plenty of learning experiences to go along with the rewind-worth lyrics.

 

With interludes sewing it all together, More Missed Calls is another top notch mix tape for Add-2. The lyrics are memorable, relevant, and meaningful. Yet, he can make a concept track with the best of them. Time will tell if he comes with a retail album that will support his movement. Until that day comes, this new mixtape is a welcome addition to this year’s best releases.
