Album Rate: 4.5 out of 5 Stars

This is GB’s 4th album he has out....He is now signed to Koch Records, usually when people sign a big deal their music starts getting shitty, so we will see what happens with this one. It starts off with “Somebody” and this song is a great song to start the album out with. It has a really solid beat that is laid down by Blackout, GB drops some really tight smooth vocals. “Nobody Crosses Me” is next up and its a tight lil track, GB comes hard on the mic again on this junt, he brings more of a rough and rowdy style on this one here, he is showing all the anger he has in this song......tight track. Track 3 is called “2 N Da Morn” has a really cluttered type of beat, it is too flat out loud and has a few too many things going on at once, I really aint feelin this track all that much, GB comes tight on the mic but the beat fucks it up.

“Tell Em Wassup” features Lil Gain.....this track is really solid, GB starts it off with a solid lil verse, Lil Gain comes in next and drops a good verse as well. “What Can I Say” is a wierd type of track, GB changes his voice up for this track, I aint really feelin it all that much, its a slower style track. “Gitty Up Bout Ya Hog” is probably the best track on this album, it has a bumping ass beat and GB spits straight fire on the mic....everyone should like this shit. “Dont Give A Fuck” is next up and it features SS Boy & Lil Gain, SS Boy starts this track off with a really tight verse, I dont have a clue who he is but he comes tight on this shit, GB cuts in after him and comes tight as well.....Lil Gain kinda comes weak on this track but overall its a tight track.

“World’z Thickest Click” is tight as fuck, it has the “Worlds Biggest Dick” beat and theme that NWA had made so famous on their old album, it is a tight lil track, bumping beat and blazing lyrics. “Cowardz In The South” is track 9 and it features that nigga Criminal Mane and both him and GB go the fuck off on this track, it is produced by DJ Squeeky so you know the beat is bumping. “Run Up On It” follows this and it is another winner, it has a straight ass beat that Blackout laid down and GB comes tight on the mic. “South In Ya Mouth” features Haystak.....first off I cant stand Haystak so he ruins this song for me, GB drops a nice verse to start it off but when Haystak comes in it messes it up for me.

“Shake Em Off” has a horrible beat, I cant get into this track at all. “On It All” features Cool Bee, its nice to see Cool Bee back on the mic, I am always diggin his shit.......I dont know how much I like the beat on this track, its nice and chilled but I dont know how well it matches GB’s voice but he drops some tight vocals on it.....Cool Bee comes tight on this track also. “T.A.Y.L.O.R. Made Nigga” is track 14, its another somewhat suspect type of track, I dont like the keyboards on this track. The last track is called “Gettin Real Buck” and its produced by Squeeky.....it has a tight ass beat and GB uses some old lyrics on this track but its really tight.......it kinda brings you back.

Overall this is a very solid album from GB....I like it alot more then 74 Minutes Of Bump......If you like Gangsta Blac I’m sure you will feel this album cuz he brings some hard shit on this junt......And if you have never heard him before this would be a good album to start out with.....Bottom line is you need to get up off your lazy asses and go get this junt.
