Jukebox with LeiRock Review | Dee Goodz - CKDO Vol. 1


Southern hip hop artist Dee Goodz recently released his mixtape College Kids and Dropouts Vol.1 with DJ Crisis. The mixtape was executive produced by Dee Goodz and producer OpenBoxATX. I have to give kudos to them for their selection of songs to include. Featuring mostly original production from OpenBoxATX, The Geeksqad, and E.P., CKDO Vol. 1 is well put together and all the tracks flow seamlessly. Smooth melodies with and edge is how I describe the feel of the music here. Dee Goodz makes sure he more than compliments the flawless production he's provided with. Honest with bravado and conviction is the best way to speak on how Dee Goodz weaves his way over his musical landscape. He tackles his road to success ("Small Thing to A Giant"), relationships and women ("Keep Pimpin" , "Special feat. WhitB"), his daughter ("A Dream Deferred"), and takes on all challengers ("Gimme Mine feat DannyO"), ("Force In The Game"). All in all CKDO Vol. 1 is simply a superb offering from Dee Goodz and his team. This mixtape is a must have for any true hip hop head.
