Deuce Komradz coming straight from Montgomery, Alabama with their new album Ridin N Smokin. Ive heard a lot about Duece, I heard they are the next big thing to come out of Alabama behind Dirty. This album has a crunk feel to it on some songs and has a laid back feel on others, sounds similar to other south artists and some resemblance to Dirty.

1. "Pursuit (Intro)" just a intro with some getting chased has police sirens and helicopters in the background.

2. "Did Dat" this has a real basic beat, has some background bells & horns to it with a pounding ass baseline some good dirty south shit. This track features Shawt, Cowboy, & Big Bro Of Duece Komradz and they get this song crunk as fuck, very tight track makes you wanna start mobbing on fools.

3. "Twirk Somethin" has a laid back beat it samples a slow beat that ive heard before this is some lovey dovey wifey type shit. They twist it nicely though I could bump this track easily, this sounds like some shit for the clubs or the radio worth a peep though.

4. "Westside" this has another basic beat has some basic piano in the background with some nice synths in the background. This is a represent type track they all come pretty nice on this track with the flows, this track is also worth a peep.

5. "Roll With Us" This has another slow ass beat it has the same beat that E-40 used for his classic "Scandalous". This is another one of those slow ass tracks with some more pimp/lovey dovey type shit going on here. This track aint bad if you like slow cuts I was bumping it, pretty good track.

6. "Racin 2 Da Dance Floor" this has a real fast up tempo beat has a real clubby feel to it makes you do just what the title says makes you wanna race to the dance floor. This track is aight it has a nice catchy hook but the verses were not that great good catchy hook though.

7. "Ridin-N-Smokin" has a nice basic beat once again with a pounding ass baseline with some piano in the background. This track is pretty damn tight good hook and they all rip it nicely on this track. This one had my head nodding for sure.

8. "Southern Playa" this track has another real basic beat a steady baseline with some piano in it. This track is just a filler track to me I was skipping this shit, I didn't like this track too much at all.

9. "Switch-a-roo" has a real basic beat with some more piano in the background, slower feel to this one. This track aint bad but then again it aint good, it has a nice hook but the flows were kind of shitty on this one...could have been a good song with better flows.

10. "Betcha Would Luv" has a mid tempo type beat has some futuristic type effects in the background. This track is pretty tight and it features some fool named Mr Nitty who comes pretty tight this track is another bumpable track.

11. "Everybody Wanna Be Down Wit Da South" this has a raise the fuck up type beat, very tight beat makes you wanna just get crunk in the club type shit. Ive heard this song and Ridin-N-Smokin get airplay in Alabama on the radio, but this track is a tight track fa sho.

12. "Oh Ni" this track has another basic beat with some futuristic type effects going on in the background. The hook on this track is pretty tight and they all come nice on the flows I was feeling this track as well a good track to end this album out on.

This album is pretty good all around my only problems with this album is that they only had 12 fucking tracks on here, plus they had a too many slow cuts for only have 12 songs on here I understand slow laid back but they had like 3 slow lovey dovey type junts on here. All the crunk tracks had me getting hype though and made the album worthwhile all together. In end I would scoop this album up if you see it I was feeling a good number of tracks pretty good album overall.
