This is Lil Blunts second release after splitting up with Indo G after many years of work together, this is a huge inprovement from his last album. The first cut “Tennessee (Remix)” is a pretty shitty track to me, the song is just flat out unoriginal and the vocals arent anything too impressive. “Da South” is next up and this sounds like some old Outkast shit, its hella tight and it features a whole bunch of people on it who I really cant identify but everyone comes cold as fuck and even SMK drops a tight beat on this track.

“Gotta Get It” features Trikky T and its another really solid song, everything from the beat to the vocals is nice.....It has a strong gangsta feel to it. “On The Block” is a nice laid back track, it has a very smooth beat and Lil Blunt drops some really tight vocals on this track. “We Coming” features 24/7 Hustlaz and is flat out amazing, this laid back shit I can bump all day long, the vocals are really smooth and Lil Blunt drops a tight ass beat on this junt.

Track 6 is another laid back track, its called “Truth Aint Da Answer?” and it has some cold ass vocals by Lil Blunt, its another song that you can just chill out to and bob your head to----very tight lil track. “Zoned Out” features Lil Blunt and Mr. Nigga, now this song has a very unique beat and I am digging it, the beat is off the map.....It shows great creativity and I dont think most producers from Memphis would have the nuts to make this shit but he did and its off the hook, mane Mr Nig and Lil Blunt flow tight as fuck on this track with some cold ass vocals.

“Mind Blowing” features Lil Blunt and Blitzo, its a more of a gangsta type of song then the others, but it still fits in great with the other songs, the vocals and beat are very solid. “Me & You” is next up and this shit is pretty weak, it has a weak ass beat and the vocals arent special either. “Where U From” features Lil Blunt and Mr. Nigga again, it has a smooth ass beat and then vocals by Blunt and Nigga are smooth as butter or a babies ass----if you cant get down to this shit, something is wrong, they dont sound like Outkast but their vocals are smooth like that.

“Its So Hard” features Blunt and Mr. Nigga once again, its another tight lil track, it has a laid back feel again and smooth vocals. “Fallen Soldiers” is by Trikky T and whoever this nigga is, he is tight as fuck, this is his second track on this album and both of them are off the hook, this has a great beat and the vocals by him are tight as fuck. “Stop, Look, Listen” features Lil Blunt and Mr. Nigga one more gem......this song is pretty tight but I really dont bump it all that much. “Southern Players” is by Trikky T again, they tried a little too hard on this track and fucked it up, the beat has way too much shit going on it and Trikky T is trying to flow a little too fast, he sounds alot better slower and smoother.

“Heavenly Feather” features Lil Blunt and Da Blunt Mobb, its a nice lil cut, nice beat but the vocals arent anything that tight. The last cut is called “Trill Niggaz” and it dont fit in with the rest of the album, it sounds more like the shit on his first album. Overall this is a very tight album, everyone that likes smooth sounding music will love this album, it isnt slow sounding smooth shit, more like an Outkast style. It doesnt sound like the normal Memphis album you would buy but its most definetly a nice album for the collection and I suggest you go out and buy it.
