Lil Italy comes with his second release "Full Blown" after his highly successful first album "On Top Of Da World" which was released on Master P’s No Limit Records. Lil Italy’s new one comes to us on K-Lou Records and features the likes of Mia X, Kane and Abel, Don P, Buddah Mack, & Handfull Of Hoolligans.

1. "Intro" just an introduction has a real tight beat should have made a song real tight shit on the beat.

2. "Thats My Nigga" has a nice mid tempo beat pretty tight beat right here. This track features Don P and he spits a pretty tight verse. Lil Italy comes pretty tight on this first track as well. The hook on this track aint half bad either and a nice track to introduce this album.

3. "Lights, Camera, Action" has a nice laid back beat some real basic shit on this beat. This track starts of with the hook a real basic one not bad though could have been better. Lil Italy comes decent on this cut overall could have been a better track overall nothing special on this one.

4. "Full Blown" has a nice mid tempo beat has sort of a down south feel to it. This is a Lil Italy solo cut and he comes pretty heated on this one a little better than the last track. The hook on this track aint too great its kind of plain and not too catchy.

5. "No Mo" has a nice mid tempo beat pretty tight beat on this track right here. This track features Buddah Mack and she comes in with the second verse and she is pretty tight my first time hearing her and she aint half bad. The hook on this track is pretty tight and Italy comes tight on this one overall a good track right here.

6. "Piece Of Me" has a real laid back some real pimp tyte R&B shit tight beat. This is another Lil Italy solo cut and he comes with some of them pimp tyte lyrics good shit by him all the way through on this one. This track gots a pretty good hook to some singing with some mixed vocals by Italy.

7. "Let Me In" has a real basic beat a nice baseline to it has sort of a dance bouncy feel to it. This track has a pretty shitty hook no creativity on this hook. Lil Italy came pretty decent overall on this track it was more like an interlude.

8 "She’s On Fire" has a nice up tempo beat some real bouncy south type shit. This track once again features Don P and he comes pretty nice on his overall verse. Lil Italy also came decent on this cut but the hook was once again basic and not too good.

9. "Who Wants To Be a Pimp" a skit impersonating a game show not too good.....

10. "At Yo Service" has a real ride on em type beat and its a lot more hared than most of the beats on this album. This track features Kane And Abel and they rip this track up nicely good shit by them. Lil Italy also comes tight on this track and overall a tight track right here.

11. "Hardtimes" has a real tight beat once again some real tight shit on this beat. This track features Rob G and Buddah Mack and they both come tight on this track. Lil Italy comes heated on this one as well very nice shit by him. A Pretty good hook on this one as well and overall a nice track.

12. "True Gangstas" has a tight beat you can tell at first listen that its a beats by the pound beat tight shit. This track features the lady of No Limit MIa X herself and she rips this track up cant wait for her newest solo album. This track is pretty good overall worth a peep for sure.

13. "2 Sides Of Da Game" has a real slow laid back type beat sounds like some shit from a James Bond movie. This track features Don P once again and he comes decent once again nothing super tight by him. Lil Italy comes tight on this track and the hook is pretty heated as well another track worth a peep right here.

14. "Sho -Nuff" has a nice mid tempo some real cluby bounce shit right here. This track features Rob G and J Sweets and they both come decent on this cut. Lil Italy comes pretty good on this track and the hook aint half bad but not the greatest track here maybe bumpable.

15. "Outro" has that same tight beat from the intro.....just ending it out.....

Overall the production on this album is pretty good mostly done by Head Bobbin Productions and Beats By The Pound. Lil Italy came hard on a few tracks but for the most part did not come close to as good as his first album. Overall not a great sophomore effort by Italy it lacked in creativity and song concepts sounds like just the same old shit trying to come out nowadays. Overall not a great pick up here.....may want to leave it there and stop wondering about it......
