B-low u have probably heard the name before if u have ever visted Down-South.com or his old site which was also popular to the memphis underground crowd called M-Town Bound. After seeing this album advertised for months on down-south.com I got the album. The first track on the album "Low Down N Dirty" has a nice beat and features Sinikal and they both drop soem nice flows for this song. The next track "Wassup With These Hoes" has a nice beat but the chorus is horrible and the raps were not all that great as well. "Tryin To Get Back" is the next track and this song has an aight beat and the chrous once again is kinda plain and not all that great but the flows coem a lilttle better.

"Funkyville" is the next track on the album and this track is one of the better tracks on the album and has a nice beat with a good chrous and nice flows. "Goin Out Like Montana" is the next track and it has an aight beat and the chrous is a little better than previous tracks and the flows come aight on this track. "End Up Dead" is the next track not a great beat and the flows were kinda sloppy on this track. "Ski Mask Over My Evil Grin" is the next track and features Sinikal and this is another one of the good songs on the album they both come pretty good on this track. Next Track "Catch up With You Kind" has an aight beat but nothin special will having u skippin to your next track. "Ten Toes Down" is the next track is has also one of the better beats on the album and is one of the more bumpable songs that i like.

"I Aint Concerned" is an aight track has an aight beat and the flows are not that bad on this track. "The Way It Goes" is the next track has a pretty good chrous and a nice beat with some pretty decent lyrics also another bumpable track. "Ana Got Me Clickin" is the next cut and has a tight beat followed by some good lyrics on this track. The las ttrack on the album "B-Low Is My Name" is an aight track with some aight flows but nothin special. This album could have been alot better i think if he would have put alot more time into it. The beats on the album have very little bass and are all made by a keyboard which made soem of em sound the same. You could have probably made better beats with more bass on a computer made program B-lows flow was on good on certain tracks but other tracks he flowed off beat or it seemed like he tryed to fit way too many words into a verse and it made it sound crammed together. His style is nothin to special he sounds like a skinny version of haystak but Sinikal came real tight on the two tracks he was features on and i am looking foward to maybe seeing an album from him.

Overall this album was not that good to me I only bumped about 3 or 4 tracks out of 14. B-low is suppose to drop a new album this fall and its suppose to have a nice roster of local memphis rappers which will probably mak his new albumalot better. I heard his new single and its nothin specail it sounds like the same old shit from his first album with the same keyboard beats. In end this album was not very good and i would recommend not to buy this album unless u got some extra money or u are just a die hard fan of Tennessee rap. Look foward to B-lows new album "Double Crossa"
