The number "10" is a very symbolic number. It means completeness and order-which we can see with the decimal number system. It's also symbolic for "law"-which we see with Moses and the Ten commandments. Fern takes all those meanings and gives a complete mixtape of hot lyrics discussing the law and delivers our order with "10 piece". Fern delivers a confident 10 reasons (excluding the intro) why you should remember his name in hip hop. This mixtape is getting a lot of exposure on various websites, but hasn't received a review yet...until now.

10 PIECE(INTRO)-LYRICS-2 SPOONS UP FAVORITE BAR-"STOP FERN YOU KILLING EM, I'M BRINGING THEM BACK TO LIFE/SO RESURRECTION MEANS NO FUNEREAL, IT MEANS NEW LIFE" This is not only a great intro for the mixtape, but it's also a great intro for people who are hearing fern for the first time. He sums up who he is, what he is about and what the mixtape will be like within 2:11. This track really draws you into the rest of the project. He lets us know that not only does "he know his lane...but it's all paved out(also a hot bar on the track)."
STOP IT 5-LYRICS-2 SPOONS UP FAVORITE BAR-"I HOPE YOU COPPED THE MIXTAPE, BUT IF NOT-THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM/KEEP LYING TO YOURSELF LIKE I'M NOT A PROBLEM" Fern goes in on "Stop it 5" and demands respect. He lets people know that his presence is here. He's not about to come into the game playing...so it's all business to him right now. Listeners can really see his focus and see that fern isn't stopping soon.
HUSTLE HARD REMIX (FEATURING REY KING)-LYRICS-2 SPOONS UP FAVORITE BAR-"WITNESS MIRACLES/THE GOSPEL GONE DIGITAL" Fern lets listeners know that he hustles hard within the intro of the song. He lets us know he already had three videos up within the first month of the year-so he practices what he preaches on this track. Fern lets listeners know that he is grinding on all the social networks to get his product to the people. Rey king does a great job on the track as well. His energy balances out Fern's smooth flow. This track is as hard as the original.
G6-LYRICS-2 SPOONS UP BEAT-2 EARS FAVORITE BAR-"I'M GONNA KILL THE GAME ON PURPOSE, JUST BECAUSE" I'm really feeling this track. I really hope that Fern makes a video for this one. Let me be clear on something about the production. I actually enjoy the beat. However, it sounds too similar to "hard in the paint". Now, I can hear the parts where the beat comes into it's own, but if it's going to be that close-just use "hard in the paint". On a positive note, the beat and Fern work well on this track.
SPADE A SPADE-LYRICS-2 SPOONS UP BEAT-4 EARS FAVORITE BAR-"I'M LIKE A CHEF, I'M THE BEST HOW I PREP THE VERSE" "Spade a Spade" is also another on of my favorite verses on the mixtape. Fern lets us know he's been doing this since the 7Th grade and he has only gotten better. The production on the track is great. This is the best original track on the mixtape. It gives a mix of old school with a new school twist. On this track, Fern is simply stating that people are tired of hearing wack rappers and he deserves to be where they are. He's just calling a spade a spade.
FERNIE(GOTTA BE THE GREATEST)-LYRICS-2 SPOONS AND A BOWL BEAT-3 EARS FAVORITE BAR-"SO FLY IN THE SKY LIKE IT'S RECORDED IN A SPACESHIP" This is Fern's most lyrical track. I think this is the best track on the mixtape. The production is nice and flows well with the concept and the flow of the mixtape. He kills the track starting with the chorus. I didn't hear not one bar that was weak. This is a "repeat offender".
STIR CRAZY-LYRICS-2 SPOONS BEAT-4 EARS FAVORITE BAR-"I SPIT THE BEST WORK, NOW LET'S WORK" Fern slows things down, but continues to stay in his lane on "Stir Crazy". The production on this track really makes the song and shows Fern in a fresher light. Fern gets a little personal on this track, but continues to bring the heat in the bars. The second verse his "wordplay" reminds us of dipset in their prime. This is a refreshing track on the mixtape.
H.A.M.(HARD AS MOSES)-LYRICS- FAVORITE BAR-"THIS IS NOTHING I'M JUST WARMING UP THE KITCHEN" I want to start off by saying that Fern KILLS THIS BEAT! This is way better then Kanye and Jay-z's verses. I love how he sped up his flow and showed us when he needs to he can go there.
OH SNAP-LYRICS-2 SPOONS UP BEAT-4 EARS FAVORITE BAR-"PEOPLE ASK "FERN HOW YOU PUT OUT COLD FIRE?" "OH Snap" will have you saying that by the end of the track. The production has a classic New York feel and once again merges old school and new school feel. This is a very hot track. I can also see a video for this track as well.
HOPE-LYRICS-2 SPOONS UP FAVORITE BAR-"ONLY MONEY AND A DREAM, WHAT YOU SEE ME CHASING" This song gives listeners a deeper look inside of Fern's mind. His "this year is the remix" bar has a very good double entendre for true fans and followers of Fern. Really good and personal track from Fern.
VIVA LA VIDA-LYRICS-2 SPOONS AND A BOWL FAVORITE BAR-"DIFFERENT METHOD, I'M INVESTING THIS IS MY FUTURE FLOW" This is a great track to end the mixtape on. Anybody that samples Coldplay gets a head nod from me! This is such a universal track. This is also a track that i feel would be a great video. The chorus is very addictive.

Overall, I give this mixtape TWO SPOONS UP and leaning more to it being a classic mixtape. I'm a little harder on giving mixtapes a classic rating, but this one is real close though. It delivers a great punch and leaves you feeling that there are still good artists out there. I don't like comparing artists, but Fern gives off the presence of Cam'ron in his prime. His style has dipset all in it. The laid back flow works very well for Fern and even surprises us with the double time flow. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH 10 PIECE IS THAT IT HAS NO SIDES!!! Some of the tracks are way too short, but that leaves the fans wanting more when we come back to order. "10 piece" isn't fast food and definitely takes care of my hunger until Fern brings another project.
