    Since Duck Down Records’ re-emergence in the summer of 2005, the legendary label has stayed busy, furiously dropping solid album after solid album. Tek’s new mixtape release, I Got This, is no exception. His extensive history with the label as one half of the dynamic duo, Smif N’ Wessun, as well as co-founding DD’s partner label, Bucktown USA, have kept him on the grind.
Filled with tough bowy rhymes of hustling o.z.s of that piff, flipping birds, slick street talk, and  a kind sack of beats from some of today’s most popular artists, Tek showcases his lyrical talents and versatility, proving that he can bust them thangs with the best.

    In the beginning it may seem odd to hear Tek with out Steele, but this isn’t the fist time that the Bucktown emcee has rolled dolo. In the past, he’s released Elameen Da Don Mixtape, and Amerikka’s Nightmare. While rhyming over beats by 50 Cent, Fabolous, Three Six Mafia, Busta Rhymes, R Kelly, and Wu-Tang Clan to name a few, the listener gets a full range of Tek’s lyrical skills. The power guitar chord laced, “Looptie Loop,” features Tek spitting some slick get money talk, but the chorus, “Shake your bod like a bowl of soup,” comes off as a bit cheesy. Don’t be discouraged; the rest of the mixtape goes down as smooth as a 40oz of King Cobra, filled with tough rhymes on tracks like, “Bust Them Things Bowy,” “St. Pat Day Massacre,” “Stackin My Dollars.”

   Tek, didn’t forget to include a little Timberland boot stomping, Boot Camp Clik flava for ya’ ears. “Trading Places; ft The Furious 4 (If you don’t know, Google them)” and “Oh Yeah,” both appeared on 2005′s, The Last Stand. Newer tracks like the hilarious anti-fat chick anthem, “Run Around,” “U.C.L.A. (Universal Corna Lexington Ave),” with its funky bounce-to-the-ounce style, and “I Like,” for those late night booty calls, are sure to be mixtape hits. 

  With 24 tracks, the tape runs quick, so it definitely needs to be listened to several times to be digested, but in 2007 look for more blazing releases to be dropped from the Duck Down camp.
