2013 was a huge year for Mr. Xtortion Tha Don. After
releasing the first 2 installments of his “Product Of My Environment” mixtape
series, X released “Product Of My Environment vol. 3″. Bolstered by the hype
surrounding his previous projects Tha Don delivered his best work of the past
year. The project features the standout tracks “Damn”, “You”, the “Damn Remix”
and the breakout hit single “Chevy”. Backed by production from the likes of
Young Airez and Ozland, Xtortion’s sped up flow meshes perfectly with the
original soundscapes. Even when remaking a song like “My Niggas” Xtortion’s
creativity and punchline heavy rhyme schemes carry the tracks. As a veteran
emcee X balances feeding the streets and catering to the radio with ease.
While the strength of the project is X’s ability to
deliver quality bars on just about any topic some of the topics seem a little
lazy. “Bitches, Lyrics, Weed” is a prime example. The song finds Xtortion rapping
“Bitches, Lyrics, Weed/That’s all a nigga need”. “6AM” is equally uninspired,
as Xtortion spits “The early bird gets the early worm”. While not a completely
flawless project “Product Of My Environtment vol. 3″ is a quality project that
showcases the best qualities of Xtortion Tha Don as both a lyricist and song
writer.

Of My Environment Vol. 33
