Camoflauge – Strictly 4 Da Streets

Artist: Camoflauge

Title: Strictly 4 Da Streets

Label: Universal

Rating: 5/10

Camoflauge is a twenty-year-old Savannah, Georgia rapper whose style is reminiscent of Mystikal as he kicks it fast and furious on “Shit Baby”. Camo must like the quick hit because he re-enlists it for “Get Up Off Me” and “Whatchunoabout”.

What I can’t figure out is what Camo hoped to achieve with “Murda Still Da Case”, a rip-off of the Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg classic. On “Cut Friends”, Camo flips it and rolls with a flow reminiscient the streets of St. Louis minus the epic hooks. It’s really the only track where you get a feeling that Camo isn’t faking it, that he is being himself. Too bad there isn’t more of this. The rest sounds like a retread.
