Batman & Robin: Superhero Language

As I sit here listening to the new DJ Spinz Presents J. Futuristic & Yung LA: Batman & Robin (Superhero Language) mixtape I started searching for words to describe it.  Out of nowhere, track 9 comes on that summarizes the entire mixtape in 3 simple letters, T.T.U. (Too Turnt Up)!  When J & La first invaded the scene with tracks like "First Name, Last Name" and "Ain't I" they brought with them their colorful outlook on life.  It was a sound that the game had not known yet, not the stereotypical dopeboy/hustla flow or the loverboy language that many rappers utilize in their raps, these two new artists decided to attack the game from a completely different angle. This sound would eventually become known as exactly for what it is, futuristic.  As the two began to express their unique perspective, their buzz steadily grew.  Individually, as two of the young trendsetters in hip hop, when it came time for the two to collaborate, it was only right that they sought out one of the new age bosses on the DJ scene, DJ Spinz.  With all of this creative genius coming together on one collective effort, it would only be expected that something unbelievably great would be the result. Like something out of a comic strip, Batman & Robin (Superhero Language) comes back from the future to entertain you.

The mixtape opens up with an introduction from our resident superheroes Batman (J. Futuristic) & Robin (Yung LA).  From the jump you know the mixtape is going to travel at the speed of light as Batman comes on turnt ALL the way up.  With all characters introduced, the story begins with "What The Game Missin" as seen through LA and J's eyes.  "What The Game Need, What The Game Missin, Leland & J-Man, Super Futuristic" is how J. Futuristic chooses to begin the battle.  The first chapter of the story is essentially about money and how our heroes tend to use it.  In "Money Addict", Robin states: "Black & Red Mazi & Tha Audi Grey & Blue/ Leland & J-Mane Now You Know We T-T-U" as a means of describing just what money can buy.

After a brief smoke break, we dive into the superhero vernacular that is implied by the mixtape title.  Songs like "Sauce Remix" and "TTU" give J. & LA the opportunity to explain the language that we've grown accustomed to like "BABAOW", "Sauce", "Turnt Up", etc.  From there Batman & Robin address their villains, better known as Swagger Jackers.  Here we get tracks like "Na Na Na" and "Gotta Have Fun" where J & LA tell us how to keeper the jackers at bay, by swagging on them to the max.  With another pause so that Yung LA can address the listeners, we dive back into the story with "Trap Goin Live" and "Futuristic Differenter", two more major tracks to check out. After one last interlude to remind you to follow all of the characters of the Batman & Robin (Superhero Language) comic strip.

To sum it up, Batman & Robin (Superhero Language) is a mixtape you are going to want to check out.  J. Futuristic and Yung LA provide plenty of bangers to ride to and serves as a good update to where the two are at this point in their rap careers.  Here is the break down of the mixtape:
