Swag 100 had an opportunity to sit in on Quando Rondo’s “Recovery” album listening session. This is the official Recovery review.

The album starts off with the lead single “50”, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The production on this track is absolutely amazing, and Quando Rondo’s voice sounds great. The lyrics are very personal and relatable, and the song is sure to resonate with a lot of people.

The third track, “Lost Ones”, is a bit more subdued than the first track. The production on this track is still very good, but the focus is more on the lyrics. Quando Rondo speaks about a lost love ones on this track, and it is clear that he is still hurting from the experience.

One of the standout tracks on the album is “Forever16”. The production on this track is incredible, with haunting piano chords and a somber melody. Quando Rondo’s vocal delivery is perfect for the emotional content of the song, as he discusses his feelings about his neigborhood & his battle with his pain coping with it. During our zoom interview with Quando he states this is his favorite one on the album.

Another standout track is “Me First”. The production on this track is very uplifting, with bright synths and a slow bounce beat. The lyrics are also very vivid, as Quando Rondo talks about overcoming his struggles and having faith in himself.

Overall, “Recovery” is an excellent album from Quando Rondo. The production is top-notch, the lyrics are on point, and the vocal delivery is superb. This is a must-listen for fans of the trap&b genre, and it solidifies Quando Rondo as one of the best artists in the game right now.

TRACEY LEE – “PARTY TIME XXV”

#GetSOM via @swag100

THIS WILL BE THE TOP REMIX OF THE YEAR 2023

Tracey Lee released a remix of his original breakout hit “The Theme (It’s Party Time).” The timeless hit, 25th anniversary was this Febuary. Which Tracey Lee dicided to drop the new one in honor of the original on the same exact date!

TRACEY LEE - "PARTY TIME XXV"

Originally released on February 4, 1997, as the lead single from the Philly rapper’s debut album Many Facez, the D-Dot and Amen-Ra-produced track spent a total of 37 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (peaking at No. 55) and was a regular party anthem in clubs in the mid-late ’90s.

Tracey Lee linked with the super producer Ojizz on the Trak for the new hit. Ojizz remixed the original song as well as provided the vocals on the hook.

TRACEY LEE - "PARTY TIME XXV"

The new version, almost mimicks the orginal in a sense but Tracey Lee shows he still has them wicked Philly bars that are Top Tier. The Beat is Crazy, The hook is satisfying catch and smooth. The all around production of this Party Time XXV is impecabile.

Party Time original, has been a staple song in the clubs and radio. I personally beileve the new one will hold weight and value as the original.

‘The Theme’ Party Times XXV has a video directed by Don Trunk and T-Lee’s longtime friend and engineer extraordinaire Young Guru. Check it out right here on Straight Official.

World Premiere: Mr. Hubb Presents Legacy

Mr. Hubb

Mr. Hubb teams with singer Penelope for his latest single, Legacy. The Newark, New Jersey native, rapper, mental health advocate and owner of The Hubb Arts and Trauma Center has a mission to bring positivity and understanding to the world and he does just that on this release.

Mr. Hubb

Mr. Hubb is quoted as saying “Legacy was written as a way of highlighting a few questions that many have asked and are still seeking the answers to. What does Legacy really mean to people, and how do I say goodbye?

Too many times we experience loss and never get the closure needed to properly heal. This leads to depression, sadness and maladaptive behaviors to cope with our grief. In the song, Penelope serenades us with the chorus and a hypnotic melody that rings “Memories are on repeat” and it reminds us “That it’s ok to not be ok but we can’t stay stuck there!” These reminders can keep their legacy alive in our hearts.  We wrote and recorded this song during a painful reality of several losses for me personally.  We shared it as a gift to the world because it became a tribute to those who have lost loved ones, like we have, to remember that your loved one left a “Legacy” for you to cherish forever!”
