#iTunesSounds: Law – “Came A Long Way” Mixtape – December 21, 2015
By: Brandon Clay @PSBPopCulture
A Cameroon-born rap artist, Law is next up off of the Goodlife record label. The emerging star calls on Bigga Rankin, DJ Fresh, DJ Key and DJ Scream to help host the tape. Though Law calls Atlanta home, the influence of his African descent is prominent throughout his music. Law released his 13-track “Came A Long Way” mixtape earlier this month. We take a look at some of our favorite tracks:
1) “Ghost”
BREAKDOWN: This catchy beat produced by T Black The Hitmaker has the makings of a radio single. Law talks that money talk on this one. The wordplay using the popular Rolls Royce Ghost automobile and counting money in a Phantom (also a Rolls-Royce model).
2) “Ronnie”
BREAKDOWN: Law addresses the death of his close friend Ronnie. He serves as motivation for the whole Goodlife movement to kick down the doors that the industry didn’t hold open.
CLAY’S NOTE:Law expressed to us in our interview that Ronnie was like a brother to him. Look for that interview to be posted later this week.
3) “So Good”
BREAKDOWN: He follows up the emotional “Ronnie” with a positive take on life. The opening bar go “This the feeling that you get when God gives you all the answers / This the feeling that you feel when moms make it out of cancer / It’s like your body is elevated, can’t even explain it / Tears of Joy need a minute, have you ever had this feeling?”
4) “Progression”
BREAKDOWN: Delano (Sr. is the Goodlife CEO, Jr. is Law’s longtime running mate) and Nette (Executive Producer) have set the deck for Law to succeed. After the shoutout, Law goes on to addresses the patience to withstand the wait for greatness and the haters involved in the day-to-day grind.
5) “Bond Money”
BREAKDOWN: With the recent troubles surrounding rap artist Rick Ross putting up his house for bond to be released from prison, having the money for bond is more important than ever. Law addresses this talking about everyone in his crew from his homeboys to his girl having the bond money ready at any time.
