I was too dam glad to see this album out but what, these niggas replace K-Rock with Project Pat, you cant do that shit. Project Pat dont fit into these niggas quick style but they did it and it really dont sound bad at all. "Move Mutha Fucka" is the first track and its off the hook, the beat is blazing and the lyrics are on point---very tight song. "Hard Not To Kill" has a great chorus and then a really nice beat drops that Lord Infamous gets off on really well, he still has his fast style on this track...."Crack Jaws" is up next and I aint really feelin this song that much, the chorus is shitty but the vocals are alright.

"On My Ass" is a really shitty song, Project Pat lays down a terrible chorus, this song has no creativity to it. The beat aint really all that nice either. "Pure Anna" is a remix of a song on MC Macks undergroud tape, this song is bumpin out of control, the vocals, chorus and beat are all on point---very tight song. "Aint No Klan" is another tight cut, the beat is amazing, they stole this beat from an old Suave House album---I think its a song on South Circle but I forget, anyway the beat is off the hook and Scanman gets off on this track. The song is very devilish sounding.

"Niggas Got Me Fucked Up" is an alright cut, Project Pat starts if off with a normal whack ass verse from him, MC Mack drops a really nice verse on this cut though. "Felt The Pain" is up next and its kinda a slower cut about how they still here and surviving all the hating and shit. "Like To Get Away" is a very uptempo type of song, I like this beat even though its hella wild. Its a pretty straight cut. "All Bout My Hustle" is a very tight song, the beat is off the hook and T-Rock starts this song off very tightly. The song is T-rock, Mc Mack and Scanman....which the group should have been, they would have been off the hook.

"Itchy Finger" is track 12, it has really nice lyrics and an alright beat, the song aint really nothing I bump all that much though. "Situation Gone Bad" is one of my favorite cuts on this album, its a laid back with some really nice vocals and a really tight beat. Up next though is my favorite track on this album "Lock Down", this is a remix of the original. They subsituted Pat instead of Pauls verse. Everyone drops some dope shit on this track. Its a perfect gangsta song bout being in 201----very tight song. The last track is a Posse song, it and its off the hook, Paul starts this shit off really nice, he is followed by Juicy J--his verse aint all that tight though, Scanman, Gangsta Boo, MC Mack, and Project Pat.

Overall this album is very tight, it has some songs that are just average but shit they are still tight, you got MC Mack always flowing and Scanman with those devilish sounding lyrics and Pat dropping some dope shit from time to time. This is a must have for all Memphis/3-6 Fans.
