Review: Trademark Da Skydiver, “Super Villain Issue #2”

Trademark Da Skydiver, Super Villain Issue #2
iHipHop Distribution

Trademark Da Skydiver’s Super Villain Issue #2 is his second official album, but it’s essentially a glorified mixtape with braggadocio freestyles and nominal hooks. Luckily, Trademark’s JETS International, a crew of New Orleans artists led by Curren$y, has a winning formula that blends aromatic beats with riffs on living the Rap Life. That makes Trademark’s second album entertaining in spite of uneven lyrical performances. On his best tracks like “Super Villain” and “10th Wonder,” he proves he can spit: “I can kill a game with 300 bars like Leonidas/ On the mic I got that golden touch like King Midas.”
