Sooooo the last time Mahje hit #E2TS I checked out "4 Quarters" ft. Leon C (Check Out my Review Mahje 4 Quarters Video Bomb) While the visuals were a bit too much for me, I am pleasantly pleased with the audio for "Hold it Down (yea)" He makes a reference to making you smile if you rocking with him and I smirked simply because I am still smiling from " Holdin You" that is a definite favorite of mine. So Mahje! I'm feeling you. He captivated me with the hook alone and from there his words took shape. I can definitely hear this track in a few places. Check Out the audio for Mahje' "Hold It Down" along with my rate for the audio. * Upon completing this post I did discover that this song had an official video so enjoy a no rate on that just catch the dope vibes. 727 Stand Up! --M$C

Mahje: " I am so appalled with these fuckin' blogs, hold up, wait, pause I just missed a call. Shout out to my fam, shout out to my dawgs.
Anything with a classic hip hop beat immediately draws me in. Big D and JF delivers a track that you can just slide through the city to. As expected if a member of Dope Collection has any say so it is definitely a chill vibe. The familiar faces throughout the video gives you that family feel, like I'm with my people and we just chillin'. "Code of the Streets" mashes a rapper with a lyricist. I appreciate vibes like this because you get the best of both worlds. Both guys are considerably different in delivery but the content of each one's lyrics puts you on the same page just a different paragraph. I can't really say anything bad but the 2:48 seconds is such a tease. I would have loved to see it even longer. The rate for these visuals are below as well as the video. Enjoy! -M$C
