This is the fifth studio LP from California Commander Ramirez San Francisco. He became a long-time affiliate of $uicideboy $, and he will continue to co-found the G*59 record $ in New Orleans’ independent record company and become an artist by discarding 8 mixtapes (his last twelve EPS and 4 full-length lengths). Tha Playa $ Manual is his best LP, its G-Funk production comes from Rocci and hopes to mark a new chapter on his newly formed Empire Distribution Nock Notes Records a week after G*59 announced he left him to do his own thing.
After the short episode of “Velvet Note Lounge”, the first song “Hollow Tips” is a synthetic introduction and slippery playmaker that introduces you all to his heater if you even try to move him, and jazz’s “Cut Cut Huck Game” suggests no matter how hard you fall. “Playas Need Love” is a blend of G-Funk & Jazz to talk about the topic, but the second single “True Playas” advises not to trip because Fortune prefers the powerful synth feel on Mobb Sound.
“I’m Not Your Dad” blends traps and synthesis, which shows that you hitchhike with him before “Bookway Night”, which includes Jason Joshua & Rocci matching the tempting instrument, which is more jazz-influenced in 2nd Fald, with all 3 times sharing the melody with them. After the “Playing Fool” skit, “Don’t Stop for You” jazz singing, no longer trying to waste his time with a woman who fell down, and “Shake ho ho ho ho ho” proved to be the final single for Memphis.
Meanwhile, on “Push on Some Paper”, we have Lil Homewrecker talking about Pimpin’ being second nature and making it look easy, while the lead single “Chain Swangin'” gives Mobb’s influence backup, explaining that he’s still the same thing, and he has a deadly weapon in him. “Crapin’tha Corner” throws the Playa $ manual back to talk about being on bigger shit, while “Never Listen” offers its own best advice investment.
“Don’t lose hope” returns to the G-funk/Synth-funk crossover who want to keep a romantic interest because he wants her to know that she will always be safe around him whenever possible, and “Cadillac Burnin””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””’
Many in the G*59 Fandom consider the Tha Playa $ manual to be the crown jewel of the brand’s entire record, and I have to say that this is a modern G-Funk Classic that has been amazingly old since the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. Tha Playa $ Manual II as a sequel raises his art stakes even higher than I thought. There are a few songs that he takes a break from the bar that delivers gangster life, preferring to vocals, his best work in several years, eventually reaching elements of G-funk, Memphis rap, pop rap, jazz rap, Synth-funk & Mobb music.
Score: 9/10
