This is a great follow up release on Boo's behalf, he is now with the Concentration camp by now and has Happy Perez doing most of the production on this album. He impressed me by not turning commercialized even though there are a few songs that he could have left off. I kinda wish he would have stayed by himself but shit he gotta make some money. “601” is the first track and it is a real tight cut, Happy Perez drops a really tight beat and Boo flows really tight, he has a very pimp style of rapping. Next up is “Count Dat” and it’s a remake of a Dog Pound song, it’s a pertty solid track that Boo and C-Loc both shine on, they use the old Dog Pound beat.

“Bounce Back” is one of my favorite tracks on this album, it features Goldie, both Boo and him really shine on this tight laid back beat that Happy Perez laid down. “Ima” is a pretty soft track beatwise, LayLow is featured on it, the vocals are straight but the beat is too suspect for me. “Sparklin” is off the hook, it features J-2 and Goldie, this song has some tight lil samples and the beat is flat out tight as fuck, very laid back smoking style cut. “These Niggas” is another song that is really solid, Boo comes really hard on the mic on this junt, very tight lil cut that you can bump right here.

“Let It Out” is next up and it’s the weakest track on the album by far, this song is just flat out terrible. “Solitaire” is track 9 and it features Young Bleed and Goldie, it has a nice lil beat, it has a different feel then the rest of the album but its still very solid. “What You Pay Fo” is next up and it features Tim Smooth, Shuck and Goldie, it’s a pretty straight cut, its nothing I bump all the time but you don’t have to fast forward through it, it just don’t stick out because the other cuts are soo solid. C-Loc is featured on this next cut “Somewhere Somehow” and its another cut that is off the hook Lamorris dropped this bomb ass beat, C-Loc comes really tight on the mic here.

“Do He Know” is a very laid back pimping type of track, it reminds me of his first album, Boo don’t rap on this traack, it is some nigga singing the whole time, it’s a tight lil R & B cut. The last cut is really solid as well “Recognize My Team” and it features J-2 and Goldie, both of them and Boo come really tight on this track. Overall Boo really shines on this album because of the upgrade of the beats, they are dropping really nice beats that really brings out his lyrical skills. I think this is the best album that the concentration camp put out since they went nationwide. C-Loc raps on here a few times and rips shit and so does Young Bleed and Goldie. Overall this album is tight, it has great production and good beats. I suggest that you go out and buy this-not necessarily right away but sometime. I would say that there is about 7 songs that you will be able to listen to over and over.
