A key figure in California’s modern resurgence, Casey Veggies has chased his Rap dream throughout his adolescence with a determination featured on MTV during the season of his 2011 high school graduation. While he keeps close quarters with Odd Future, he has deviated from their aggression and sprouted into a local icon, catering to the teenage generation that flocks to emulate his confidence and trendsetting sense of style. Steadily climbing up the ladder in pursuit of top billing, Life Changes is Casey’s latest opportunity to shine his light.
As he grows into adulthood and stardom under the public’s watchful eye, Life Changes captures Casey Veggies and his cool, calm and collected demeanor that is prideful of his accomplishments without becoming obnoxious. Celebrating luxury and the spoils that go hand in hand with prosperity, “Young Winners” and “My Vision” offer a glimpse into glamour that listeners will find exciting to behold and inspiring given Casey’s motivation towards achievement. Though women and money dominate the majority of the topic material, the album distinguishes him as a self-defined leader, barely relying on guest appearances aside from the similar aesthetic of Dom Kennedy on “She In My Car” and crooner BJ The Chicago Kid on “Ulterior Motives.”
The smoothed out “Whip It” and “Life$tyle” contrast the turned up “Everything Wavy,” different depictions of former imagination turned boastful reality, as Casey has gradually perfected his youth oriented sound over time. Departures from swagger are the romantic “I Love Me Some You” (yet another addition to producer Harry Fraud’s hot streak) and the mature “Take My Life” where he shows appreciation for all of his journey’s strides. Despite conceptual limitations, Casey Veggies has progressed musically with Life Changes glorifying success in a fun manner, making it easy to root for his continual development where his peer group often goes scorned.
DX Consensus: “Free Album” (the highest possible praise for a mixtape)
Damn DX… you coming around.
FO Kanye clone ass nigga…
This mixtape is hot from top to bottom. CV is so underrated. 5/5
This mixtape is not a progress… CG3 was much better. This is also a pretty bad review, it talks about CV’s conceptual limitations, but only mentions the concepts and doesn’t say much about his flows, beats, etc. And “I Love Me Some You” is an unbearable song. I fuck wit da tape regardless though.
THANKS!! THATS WAT IM SAYN!!
Love this tape. Casey is growing musically. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for him now that he is fucking with Roc Nation.
Best tape of the year for the moment-
lol it’s still January

so lets just ignore the epic intro on the mixtape…you know the title track of the album…..cool
right? no beaudreau mention? Intro was the hottest thing on the entire tape to be honest
I have no idea why people like CV and Dom Kennedy aren’t getting more shine out the West. Nobody is touching them on the west coast and their mixtapes are better than 99% of rap period so it’s just crazy to see these sites pub wack as mixtapes and albums then be like oh yeah on the low CV is really dope. LOL.
hes one of my favs but you need to realize the west has some crazy break out talent right now with kendrick, the whole tde, nipsey hussle and company. casey is still young, heyll get his believe me
great.
