Worth a listen...







Simply, the best Southern rap album I've listened to all year. Trae keeps it True and Real, Trill (word to UGK, whose album is also very good, just too long...like every double album ever) with some great introspective verses.







A great producer-album, with guest verses from the cream of East Coast hip-hop.






One of my favourite mixtape rappers and I look forward to him eventually getting some shine from a major label.






(from the Style Wars EP) I'm quite excited about this dude as I've been listening to him a lot the last few weeks and from the limited material I've heard, I'm pretty sure he has some great albums in him.






A great song from another solid LB effort, enhanced once you've watched Jamie Foxx virtually eviscerate Doug Williams (who?).






What can I say, I've a soft spot for ign'ant, hype Southern rap of the 3-6 Mafia variety. Screw snap-vocoder-ringtone rap, I say bring back crunk music, stupid party music you can really bang your head to.






The quality control on his mixtapes seems to be spiraling downwards as his album approaches (is that a good or bad sign?), but there's still always a few tracks like this one to make it worth the bother of downloading (how lazy does that sound? Like I might bruise a finger mouse-clicking!)






An audible Timbo/Neptunes influence in the minimalist beats and the rhymes about fly sneakers and general all-around freshness are right up my alley.
