Money Butt Naked has been a producer on many Memphis albums, most notably on Alkatraz albums. This album is a compiliation of many different Memphis talent. It album is basically produced by Money Butt Naked and DJ Squeeky so you know the beats are all crunk. It starts off with a tight intro that Money is just talking on, this nigga cracks me up, u gotta listen to this shit. The actually first song is called "Dollars & Cents" and its crunk as fuck, Al Kapone and Mac Brownie go the fuck off on this cut, if you didnt know Mac Brownie is the female that raps with Alkatraz and shit can flow her ass off-this song is tight as fuck. The next cut is "Just When You Thought It Was Safe" and it is done by 1st Degree and Deep Sleep-these niggas are soo tight together-they dont have a typical Memphis style to them even though they rap on a gang of Memphis albums-they are very lyrical and slower-very tight song. The next cut is a solo by Mr. Tinymain with the chorus sung by Kocane Wayne-this cut is crunk-Tiny flows very fast on this cut and Kocane Wayne does a nice ass chorus.

Up next is "Move Mothafucker" which was released on this album first before he used it on "Feel Me Before They Kill Me"-this song if you havent heard it is tight as fuck, it features Tommy Wright, Mac-T Dog, and Project Pimp-they all drop crunk ass verses-flowing very fast. After that is a little interlude that aint nothing special, it is followed by "Street Hospitality" which is a solo by Big Vince who is a member of the Alkatraz Syndicate-he is a deep voiced rapper that is pretty tight-he drops a really solid cut on this song. After this cut is "Aint No Money" it is done by Emp The Pimp & Lo Key-I love EMP the Pimp but I dont really like the beat on this cut or it would be a better cut. Up next is that fast flowing nigga C-9 from Street Smart-he drops a solo cut on this album-I think this is the fastest song I have ever heard, he flows sooooooo fast the whole fuckin song-yall will be amazed when you hear this shit, the shit is tight as fuck.

Track 10 is called "Dont Have The Slightest" and it is whack, I never listen to this cut. After that is "The Bigger They Are" and it features GK, Taylor Boy and Kokane Wayne-this song is pretty tight-cuz Taylor Boyz always drop tight ass verses and GK is always super crunk-it is produced by DJ Squeeky. Next up is a song by some females-these bitches are tight as fuck-straight gangsta shit-there names are Chooezy & D. Vosie-these bitches are cold and the beat is banging. After that is a solo by Tom Skeemask "Dont Start No Shit" and it is crunk as fuck-you know Squeeky produced it and this shit is crunk as fuck-the beat is bangin and Tom Skee is flowin tight as hell.

I saw this next cut on the back cover when I picked this album up and was so excited "Welcome To Phunky Town" a song with Kokane Wayne, Gangsta Blac and Playa Fly all together-woahhhhhhh, this is a crunk ass song, mane these niggas are getting off on this cut with tight ass lyrics and a chilled laid back beat. After that is that fast flowing nigga Papa Stranger-you gotta hear this shit, this nigga is "The Fastest Man Alive" and he flows really fast-u gotta hear it to believe it-he dont rap to a beat, he just flows on mic. Nex up is a solo by Yo Lynch-this song aint all that tight, its good enough to listen to but it doesnt catch your ear like some of the other songs- I was really disappointed from Yo Lynch on this cut. The next cut makes up for that though-its a solo by K-roc and he flows his ass off to a crunk ass beat, its a perfect song for him-I love this song.

Track 19 is called "Smoke A Ounce To that" which is a rap by G-Baby, this nigga is very tight-he drops a nice ass cut on this one. The last cut is by LA Kim, Lil Chris and Skizo-this song is crunk as fuck, the beat is cold as hell and its bumping-the lyrics are straight gangsta-I gurantee you will bump the shit out of this cut. Overall this album is a must to have, its crunk as fuck and it has dam near all of the Memphis rappers that are tight besides the 3-6 click. It came out back in 97 so everyone was on top of there game back then. Its doesnt have any commercial style raps in it, no love making bullshit, no dance songs-straight gangsta. You should be able to find this album pretty easily-it is distributed by Select O Hits. I strongly suggest any Memphis or dirty south music lover to pick this shit up. Its crunk as fuck!!!!!
