A.O.A. (Achieving Our Ambitions): Official Reality Check Records Mixtape, Chapter 3

"It's almost time now niggas!!!!!"

Those words from Jay-Z in a scene from his movie Fade To Black are all to perfect in describing the release of RC Records' 3rd official mixtape entitled A.O.A. (Achieving Our Ambitions): Official Reality Check Records Mixtape, Chapter 3. It has been over one year since we last had a release from the label back in August 2006 with their 2nd official mixtape Realize Reality. The label announced February 19 as the mixtape's official release date at a recent performance show. 

This mixtape has been anticipated and fans have been patiently waiting for its release. Rightly so this is because of the critical acclaim and positive reviews that the previous mixtape received. With hit songs like "What Type Of Artist Are You?" and "In Memory Of...(Remix)" featured on the 2nd mixtape, fans are anxious to see if RC Records can continue this trend in delivering classic songs and personal anthems. At recent performance shows, the crowds have warmly accepted the songs to come on the upcoming mixtape as they were performed. Songs such as, "Signs" , "Get Live", and "Straight To The Top", which features Sean Billz displaying a rapid-fire flow delivery, shows Reality Check Records hasn't lost a step since it's last release.

Recently, the mixtape's cover (pictured above) and track listings have been revealed to the public to show that things are certainly finishing up in terms of the project's release. In a recent conversation with Reality Check Records recording artist Sean Billz, it was stated that this will be the label's last official mixtape release for a while as they will begin working on solo projects following the release in February. With that being stated it can be said that this mixtape should truely be cherished upon its released in being the last mixtape from the label that we'll see for a while. It doesn't come as surprise since it's natural for artists to work on their solo careers to expand and grow as individuals apart from their labelmates. This mixtape will not come as a dissappoint though as I am sure that this mixtape will deliver the goods in terms of classic material and excellent songs that the label and its artists will become known for. This mixtape will leave you yearning for more and hopes that RC Records changes its mind and doesn't take a break from its mixtapes.
