Best Song: When We Ride

Worst Song: Armageddon 2

Ahhhh shucky ducky, quack, quack! There is a new label out of D.C. lead by Mr. Skinny. Even though they hail from D.C. they give you that deep down south sound whoadie. It's too bad they didn't incorporate screwing a track or two. I personally feel that could've taken this album over the hump.

Best song would be "When We Ride." There is a female towards the end of this song. She is the hardest person on the album. Peep her steez!

This compilation reminds me of Three Six Mafia. It's real grimey, real country, real street, BUT some of the artist don't seem real. Maybe they are, they just don't have convincing lyrics.

The skits on here are hella corny and the beats are okay. But it's not all about the beat. The artists do the best they can to keep you entertained and I got the feeling that this is there first CD. I expect some rawer product to come from this camp in the future.

"Armageddon" and "Armageddon2" get the weakest songs award. I assumed that these songs would be about revolution in a positive manner and not just more street talk. I guess I was looking for some really deep songs.

This album isn't that bad. I just felt they could've expanded their horizon on the topics they spat about. Like my folks up North say, buy it and judge it for yourself. Don't just take my word for it.
