Review: Rugz D. Bewler - Bewler's Day Off



Rugz D. Bewler - Bewler’s Day Off

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off meet Bewler’s Day Off. The name’s are similar, but that’s where it ends. Meet Rugz D. Bewler, New York based Rapper. Coming up through the NYC, you have to make a name for yourself. Pretty much, if you’re beats and rhymes sound the same as some else, then you’re going to be in the shadow. So how does one get noticed? Ask Rugz D. Bewler.

With the releasing of the mixtape, Bewler’s Day Off, we are graced with groovy disco dance beats (“Don’t Dance”), doing exactly what we thought: partying. We even have some romance throughout the mixtape (“Love” & “Sexy Time”). But every recording artist needs a song freestyle over a british cutie. Bewler does just that with his freestyle over Lily Allen’s “Oh My God”. While the song is mainly dominated by Allen, Bewler donates a few bars for our listening pleasure. Rugz doesn’t stop there.

The tool he uses on this record that other artists don’t do is: showing different emotions in different songs. Sure, you can have concept mixtapes (aka: stories) or just similar sounding mixtapes (aka: Jay Rock, Drake, etc…). Rugz D. Bewler delivers with the help of Skotch Davis and former basketball great Stalley (“Bend Her Over [Life’s A Bitch]”). Throughout the song, you hear the chorus, “Life’s a bitch and I’m gonna bend her over.” The line might not mean much, but it shows the extended emotions used to complete Bewler’s Day Off.

I could go on more about the mixtape, but why be the spoiler? Bewler’s Day Off is something to listen to the next time you’re looking for something new and different. As my ears listened, my heart loved. Download Rugz D. Bewler’s “Bewler’s Day Off”.
