Da YoungFellaz link with Jae Tips, Cory Gunz, Just and DUB for the cypher centric “FDR Drive.” It’s always a good thing when a record has a packed lineup of intricate rhymers and “FDR Drive” lives up to that expectation. Producer HitMakerDot’s implementation of Billy Joel’s “New York State Of Mind” lends way to a sample from Mase’s infectious and memorable “24 Hours To Live,” setting the stage for Da YoungFellaz and company to go on a lyrical escapade. The record’s energy is overpowering as each MC demands the listeners attention. While it’s typically expected for a writer to pick a standout verse, doing so on this record would be a disservice to all six lyricists. “FDR Drive” IS New York Hip-Hop.
