In Music: 88-Keys' "The Death of Adam" and Mixtape

According to my iTunes smartlist (called 'Rate these?'), I should mark every track on their official album, "The Death of Adam," as at least three stars (That's how I remember what I like and don't on my 'pod). Actually, I can tell you exactly how that is calculated:

The tracklist:

• "Morning Wood" - Played 16 times
• "Nice Guys Finish Last" - played 18 times
• "The Friends Zone (feat. Shitake Monkey)" - played 15 times
• "Handcuff 'Em" - played 12 times
• "Stay Up! (Viagra) (feat. Kanye West)" - played 13 times
• "There's Pleasure In It" - played 11 times
• "(Awww Man) Round 2?" - played 15 times
• "Dirty Peaches (feat. J'Davey)" - played 17 times
• "Close Call (feat. Phonte)" -played 14 times
• "The Burning Bush (feat. Redman)" - played 11 times
• "Ho' Is Short For Honey (feat. Kid Cudi)" - played 11 times
• "No. I Said I LIKED You" - played 15 times
• "M.I.L.F. (feat. Bilal)" - played 9 times
• "Another Victim" - played 16 times

This is of course just statistics, which only tells you so much. Add to that that I've had it for a month, that the total album time is 45.7 minutes, and the average number of times I played this album is at around 12.8 times, that's approximately 588 minutes of playtime. Spread over a month, that's 19 minutes a day! If that isn't love, I don't know what is.

My favourite track is, according to my own rating system, "Stay Up!" (see vid. below). According to the number of plays, which is random, it's "Nice Guys Finish Last." Perhaps, I'm trying to tell myself something… o_O



Just to give you a taste, the mixtape, "Adam's Case Files," can be downloaded for free here. I haven't listened to it that much yet, but it's not bad.

Featuring Kid Cudi, Izza Kizza, Tanya Morgan, Guilty Simposn, Grafh, Mr. Bentley, Serius Jones, and more. Adam’s Case Files is the precursor to 88's first solo album release The Death Of Adam, hitting stores this October on Decon Records and executive produced by Kanye West.
