On October 31 2010 Khidd P’s long awaited mixtape The Transition: Reloaded was released. Prior to its release Khidd P’s previous projects included: The Transition and The Abandoned Tracks. This mixtape however was on a different level than the first two, hosted by not only Khidd P but by DJ Streetzz as well. The transition reloaded featured 16 tracks of well mixed and mastered content and was basically broken down into three sections. The first section of the mixtape serves as an introduction to those who are unfamiliar with Khidd P’s music with tracks like “No Going Back” highlighting Khidd’s lyrical ability and punch lines. Tracks like “Ain’t Nuttin Changed”, and “Beamer, Benz, or Bentley” introduce you to the other members of Phly Guyy Entertainment which include Big Mike and Bennie Sav who both have upcoming projects in the works. The Mixtape then transitions into a few tracks for female fans with Khidd P even stating this himself “You gotta have tracks for the ladies.” The tracks featured in this section showed a different style of rapping for the Phly Guyy with a more sped up flow in “OMG-PGmix” and a slowed down flow in “There Goes My Baby”. The last section of the mixtape was a collection of amplified versions of the first two really showcasing Khidd P’s skill level in tracks like “Ignorant thoughts” and the heartfelt “It’s Been a Pleasure”. TT Reloaded even included a few songs from Khalil's previous mixtape The Abandoned Tracks such as "Who Dat", "Unthinkable", and "Light Up". Overall The Transition: Reloaded allowed you a great overview of what type of artist Khidd P is developing into, with clever word play, well thought out hooks, and a personality that shines through wax. He manages to take a playful approach while speaking truth and has a natural charisma and relate ability with his audience making you feel as though the tracks are a series of conversations with you the listener. But the mixtape doesn't come without flaws. Tracks like “Acapella” fell short in lyricism, flow, and showed how premature Khidd is as an artist and some of the features were questionable, specifically the two artist not on PGE that where featured on “There Goes My Baby”. Epiphaniesand808s gives The Transition: Reloaded 3 ½ out of 5 stars. We do recommend you download The Transition Reloaded but hope to see even more progression in Khidd P's upcoming mixtapes The Problem Child, and the much anticipated Lonely Nights In Paradise.
