GeoReview: Aaron Mingo, The Motion Picture Ming Mixtape
By Constant
 

This mixtape starts with "Septa Pension", a song with a beat that sets the scene of epic proportions. Mingo explains himself, where he's from and what he's about.

On "What's That Sound", Mingo talks about the music he's trying to make and the journey he's taking to make it.

"Brimstone" lets Mingo get loose on a looped beat talking about his prowess on the microphone and the power of his lyrics.

"China Chubakka" uses the classic reggae beat from You don't love me" and Mingo gets busy once again.

Mingo lets the people know where he's from on "So Philly", a track where Mingo name drops and tries to give you a glimpse into his North Philadelphia roots.

Mingo preaches to the people on how he makes music with no money on "Creflow", an upbeat track that will have you moving side to side in your chair or on your feet.

"Remember Me" is about the soldiers in the Middle East and right here in America, whether in uniform or not. He gives you a story that many can relate to and does it well questioning why people aren't as concerned with Somalia and Haiti as they are with Iraq.

Sometimes your friends can be enemies and things aren't what they appear to be. Mingo talks about this on "Back Home", a lyrical track notably on the "Hip Hop" beat made famous by Dead Prez.

"DC to Gogo" has a down south beat and Mingo shows his versatility and "Stop Frontin" talks about people saying one thing and doing another.

Other songs on the mix include "Chosen", "Good Man Gone", a cut with some nice scratches and featuring Sekani Williams and "Canceled Debt", a track where Mingo talks about what he brings to the game and over the beat.

Overall, a mixtape with diverse sounds and topics regular people can feel. I'll give it 4 GeoGlobes and tell you it's highly worth the listen.

 

I'll give this LP 4 GeoGlobes.
