Other songs such as вЂњReal KillerвЂќ continue the gangster theme. He then builds on that point in the song by noting that police and bad boys have been engaging in gun-violence years before he came around. On вЂњSo SpecialвЂќ, another one of his chart-toppers from 2008, he exclaims, вЂњIвЂ™m so specialвЂ¦ ThatвЂ™s why me strapped with my forty-five specialвЂ¦вЂќ On the intro to Chiney K, he cleverly makes the point that neither he nor his violent lyrics should be blamed for gun-violence because there are no guns available marked Mavado on them. Old Mavado fans will not be disappointed though, as the вЂGully-GodвЂ™ comes to the fore as well. This song provides a great example of the amazing lyrical talent that Mavado possesses, and leaves you wishing that he brought this lyricism to every song. He follows the same formula as вЂњOn The RockвЂќ, by taking a traditional church refrain and lays it effortlessly over a haunting Steven вЂњDi GeniusвЂќ McGregor rhythm. The highlight moment though, comes at the very end of the album with the excellent вЂњOvercomeвЂќ. Other songs like вЂњEvery SituationвЂќ and вЂњJailhouseвЂќ help deliver the message that the consequences of the gangster lifestyle can be unpleasant. On the brilliant, вЂњSo BlessedвЂќ, Mavado seizes the opportunity to continue this theme. On this track, he tells of the many ways that his God has provided for him and protected him from his enemies. As expected, вЂњOn the RockвЂќ, the song that completely dominated 2008, shows up on this release. While his first release was a symphony of gangster anthems and gun-tunes, вЂњA Better TomorrowвЂќ expands on these elements and adds some others, reflecting a more spiritual side. So what is different about this release in comparison to his debut? (2007вЂ™s вЂњGangsta For LifeвЂќ) Mainly, his lyrical content is more varied. What the title does signify is that his future is bright, mainly because of the musical growth he displays. Mavado definitely remains true to his вЂGully-GodвЂ™ title. The albumвЂ™s optimistic title may lead one to believe that Mavado may have softened his music and image, but that is not necessarily the case. Enter 2009, and the release of his second full-length album on VP Records, вЂњMr.

2008 was such a year for Mavado, who was a constant topic of conversation. Every year, there always seems to be an artist that takes the industry by storm, and captures the fancy of the pundits in the genre.
