Da Woodz - Time Iz Everything (Darkside Recordz)
I remember seeing Da Woodz perform at Bossman's Ottobar show a year and a half ago, but I didn't really hear much of his studio material until a while back when this mixtape, and an older mixtape from 2004 called Woodz Vs. The Industry, were sent to me. With the exception of the single "Shawty," which appeared on the Harm City Vol. 5 mixtape, almost every single track on here is a freestyle over a beat from a popular song, and I've said it before, but I'm really predisposed against those kinds of mixtapes, and it just bores me to tears to hear the ten thousandth "Hustlin'" freestyle instead of new songs with original beats and hooks. But the bonus track at the end of this is a preview of material from his upcoming album, and that stuff sounded a lot better, so I might have to check for that. Also, he mentions on this CD and on his website that his last mixtape sold over 50 thousand, and I don't know, maybe that's true, but let's just say I'm skeptical. Those are big numbers for an independent artist with a relatively low profile, but if he did it then I'd like to see proof.
Da Woodz f/ T.Y. - "Look Into My Eyez" (mp3)
T.Y. is a cat from his label who's on three tracks on here, and they both kill the "Watcher" beat on this track. I kinda talked down on this mixtape overall, but Da Woodz really can flow and he's got this loudmouth, aggressive kinda swagger.
Labels: mixtape/album review, mp3

Yeah, I know he's on his grind, like I said, it's possible! I guess I'm just interested to know if it's true when someone throws out a figure that impressive.
50,000 must be the number that signifies major sucess in Bmore because that seems to be the magical # that ppl throw out often round here (Baltimore).
Woodz be on his grizzly.......I CAN PERSONALLY ATTEST TO THAT .....
if it's the mixtape with all the rappers on it with him (black and white cover)....
50,000 ...........mmmmmmh
let's think about it.....
Ive been seeing him push that one for at least 3 yrs:
36 months
approx. 1300 per month
there are 4 weeks in a month
est. 300 CDs a week
Well........when you don't work....selling 300 CDs a week is a definite possibility. Now of course their are other variable to consider....but its surely possible......
Woodz may be telling the truth! LOL!
but really.......who cares? Your only as hot as your next project. Respect will get you to buy a CD, but genuine interest in your music is what sustains a career.
