Juelz Santana - Lil' Boy Fresh

The name of this song is Lil' Boy Fresh by Juelz Santana. The song was on his 2005 album, What the Game’ Been Missing. This was a great album and unfortunately was the last solo album to be released by Juelz Santana. You could say that Juelz Santana is what the games been missing if he could come with quality songs like this every time he drops.

The song is based on the 1994 movie Fresh. Here is a short description of that movie from Imbd, “12-year-old drug pusher who lives in a crowded housing project with his cousins and aunt. His father has become a street bum, but still meets with Fresh on occasion to play chess. Fresh is rather quiet in a crazy world. Fresh's sister is a junkie who sleeps with the dealers who Fresh sells for. As the story progresses Fresh realizes that he doesn't want to sell drugs anymore, he wants out.”

Juelz does an amazing job of telling the story of this young boy from the movie so much so that when I watched the actual movie it kind of spoiled it for me. Despite the fact Fresh was an amazing movie to watch and I suggest you watch it for yourself.

Juelz Santana is not necessarily known for his complex rhymes but his style fits perfectly for telling this story. His tone and paced flow really build the listener up for the ending of the song that if you hadn’t seen the movie sneaks up on you

Jose think shorty on his side/
But he don't know shorty on his side/
So shorty called Jose, like listen, it's going down, I need more cocaine/
So they met up/
it was a set-up, Guess who? CJ, Melek and Boo sped up/
You seen the look on Joses's face/
Like you never seen the look on old man's face, told him no man's great/
and it's no man's place, to fuck with no man's fam/
Then he said, where's my sister before I kill you/
