MIXTAPE REVIEW: TRIPS 2 OHIO
Boom is about to blow! That's my first impression of listening to Boom the Bomb's newest musical release, Trips 2 Ohio. The mixtape was released today, July 4th, and definitely brings amazing vibes and positive energy, something this music industry is lacking immensely.
Counter to a traditional release that takes most of the money away from artists, Boom choose to release his album to listen and purchase on his own website. The website provider, Wix, allows the artists to keep 100% of the proceeds instead of the 67% the artists are getting with iTunes and other platforms.
After listening to the mixtape today, I can tell it will go down as the album that blows Boom the Bomb into touring and mainstream attention. It combines the classic feels of a Wiz Khalifa, "Taylor Allderice," with some 90s hip hop flavor in a way that modern audiences will absolutely enjoy.
My favorite song on the mixtape is "Take a Trip" for so many different reasons. Boom's lyrical flow, epic lyrics ("never regreat where I've been in the past, because real talk it made me."), and awesome beat and production makes this a song I can listen to at any time or feeling it gets you going.
My second favorite song is "Tunnels" because the beat and lyrics ("society trying to control the light, doing voodoo..." are absolutely ridiculous.

You can listen to the mixtape for free and/or purchase the album directly through Wix so the artist receives the maximum for their efforts.
Curious to hear what your favorite songs are on Trips 2 Ohio. Let me know in the comments :)
Thank you as always for your time and attention.
