Vol. 2 of X-Rays Monsta Mixes series tops the first in just about every way, more original tracks, less music we've heard before on other projects, and an overall more polished feel. true it does have some remix's, but they're limited to only 2 songs, the rest is pretty much fresh MIC material. To be honest the album is so well put together and diverse that it almost feel more like an official MIC album rather then a mixtape style format album. True it doesnt have many tracks with ALL the Monsta's on it at once but each mc gets time to shine on solo joints and links up for features and MIC tracks when needed, as a whole it doesnt feel like a bunch of mc's forced together and trying to fight for mic time, it has a much more natural and each mc gets plenty of room to breath and flex their creative muscles.
The production is, once again classic MIC styled beats (tired of reading that yet?), you know what to expect, X-Ray isnt pushing any boundaries as far as the MIC sound go's, but when compared to other production out there its absolutely on another planet. Simply put there isnt a weak beat in the bunch and they all offer a different sound to keep the album from feeling boring or uninspired. The songwriting is great, the mc's all turn in solid performances and the production is spot on, the perfect mix to throw on and vibe out to. Hopefully we get a Vol. 3 soon
Overall - 4/5
