Album Review

Sticking to his guns, Let It Beat finds brat-hop rapper Shwayze revisiting the stoned-on-Malibu-sunshine feel of his debut, while co-conspirator/producer Cisco Adler adds the influences of the 2009 electro-revolution brought on by acts like Chromeo and 3OH!3. Bright synths and busy drum machines help reinforce the cover art's '80s vision of the future, but the raps remain the same as his first time out, as titles like "Livin' It Up'" and "Dirty Little Girl" give away their stories. A couple numbers with acoustic guitars and a heavy Sublime influence round out the album while guest shots from Snoop Dogg and the Knux help justify any copies that land in the local "rap" section. Skip it and you'll be missing the great summer number "Crazy for You" which is "rocking flip-flops" with a Ric Ocasek production and — hold onto your hats — guitar from Darryl Jenifer of the Bad Brains.

Sophmore slump? HA!

No sophmore slump here!
Beast album!

AMAZING!

shwayze has done it once again! he always comes out with beautiful albums that make u wanna party! this one is amazing. heart and soul is my new favorite song!

welcome back

I have been waiting for this album to drop since the middle of summer..but it was worth the wait. Livin it Up is by far the best new song on the album (not counting Get U Home because its been out for a little). I hope Shawyze can use this as another example as to why MTV should be sorry that they cancelled his show. Overall, this album is legit. Keep making new hits and put out new mixtapes (like the rich girls one). Keep it up my man.

Although that terrible Jamie Kennedy movie Malibu's Most Wanted posited that the beachside Los Angeles suburb is so upper class and lily white that the only rappers it can produce are rich teenagers fronting gangsta poses, real-life Malibu resident Shwayze begs to differ. He's in touch enough with movie culture that his handle is a corruption of the surname of the star of Dirty Dancing and Roadhouse, and his musical mentor is Cisco Adler, son of multi-millionaire record producer Lou Adler, most notorious...
