(Mixtape Review)- @emiliorojas “Zero F*cks Given”

Emilio Rojas has always been an artist that has thrived when rhyming openly and honestly about the realities of life, and his latest offering “Zero F*cks Given” exemplifies this point beautifully. Clocking in with only 11 tracks Emilio leaves the filler at the studio. With a style that can only be described as New York, boom-bap, hip hop Mr. Rojas’ perspective on things like love (“Bitch Is Crazy”), the streets (“167”), or storytelling (Dead Presidents) are all done skillfully and with precision. With Emilio rocking out on a few fan favorites as well as original production it  gives the DJ Camilo helmed project that nostalgic mixtape feel.

N.O.R.E., Joe Budden, Gene Noble, DUBB and Bodega Bamz stop through and deliver verses for “Zero Fucks Given”. While every track doesn’t boast a big name guest, the collaborations that took place on the project feel natural, contrived more from an artistic than sales standpoint. Some of Emilio’s previous works have been criticized for their production selection. This  won’t be a concern here as Audio Jones, Illmind, and K.E. On The Track supply bangers for Mr. Rojas lyrical prowess. With an honesty that is hard to find in most of today’s music and a skill set that will put any emcee on notice Emilio Rojas proves exactly why when he steps in the booth there are “Zero Fucks Given”.
