Vado- Slime Flu 2 (Mixtape)

slime-flu-internet-version
Artist: Vado
Title: Slime Flu 2
Release Date: 11/25/2011
My Rating:
★★★


Vado is swiftly becoming a vocal focal point for Harlem, and his latest mixtape Slime Flu 2 proves to be a welcome installment to his ever-growing collection of no-holds-barred rap. Built around head-nodding production that graciously caters to the streets, records like “Keep It Goin’” and “NY Ride” find him endorsing the grind, while “I See You (Black People)” details a more reflective Vado. Then there’s “Slime Anthem,” which perfectly encapsulates what Cam’ron saw in the Lennox Ave-representative. Over blaring horns and steady drums, Vado verbally assaults the track like he’s back on the corner earning his stripes. His ear for beats is still a work in progress (“Louis V Bag,” “U Know What It Is”), and a scant variety of subject matter may stave off new listeners that are more accustomed to the idiosyncrasies of radio. If Slime Flu 2 is any indication of what Vado has in store though, Cam’ron should have no worries about his protégé’s future. SLIMEEEE!
