This album was a complete surprize to me that it was even coming out, my curiousity drove me to buy it, I always love a good diss album. From what I was told though, half of these songs are already out on Split Personality's album. I believe that this group is made up of Smooth, Jay-Pee, Mac Arthur, Tran and Troy Sawyer. It is a direct diss to the 3-6 Mafia. The first cut is "Catch Yo Beat Down" and this shit is actually pretty tight, Rizod Rod drops some tight shit on this track and so does Tamiko who is a female. "3 6 Bitch" is the next track and they are clowin on this track, they got the beat from Jealouz Ass Bitch from 6661, they talk shit on 3-6 this entire song, calling out the whole click basically. They keep saying Who Run It on this song, its an alright cut but nothing more then that, its kewl to listen to once or twice but I still like Pat's Tear Yo Club Down alot better then this diss.

"Flossin" features London Fog and Gangsta Pat, whoever London Fog is he is whack as fuck, Gangsta Pat drops an alright verse on this track but the song aint nothing special, they arent dissing or anything on this track. "Strickly FOr My Thugs" is from Split Personality and I guess its on their album also, it has way too much going on with the beat, the vocals are kinda tight, but its a get up and get buck type of song which I dont like. "Dirty South" is another song from Split Personality and this shit has a terrible beat, it almost gives me a headache and that makes the song whack as fuck. The next song is by Split Personality song also, its crunk as fuck "Dead Or Alive"----woah mane this shit is blazing off the hook, they use the John Bon Jovi beat from the same song, you would think it would song whack but naw mane, this shit is blazing, these niggas are flowing their asses off.

"I Dont Came Up" is by Split Personality also, its a pretty tight song, they drops some nice vocals and the beat is really nice also. Finally a song by the 1 Time Clique, its bout time they make an appearance on their own album--its called "Playa On Tha Side", I dont know who they are trying to be like on this cut but it dont sound good, the production on this track is flat out shitty. The next song is called "Let Me See Ya Thong" is a fake ass terrible Cash Money song, buts its 1000 times worse then one, its talking bout dancing and shit like that---its terrible. "What Cha Wanna Do Now" features Mo Traxx, Jay Dub and 1 Time Clique, this beat is terrible--the production is all fucked up on this track, its has alright vocals but way too much yelling shit though.

"Break Em Down, Break Em Off" is a solo by Rizod Rod, he drops some alright vocals on this track but its nothing special. "Rolla Dog" features Mo Traxx, Mr. Litt and 1 Time Clique-----this shit is terrible, I am pissed off that they put these type of songs on albums, it dam near insults me. "Deadly" features Tamiko and 1 Time Clique. It has a really crunk beat to it, Tamiko drops a really tight verse to start this shit off, the 1 Time Clique also drops some nice vocals on this track also. Up next is "Munay" and it features Tamiko, 1 Time Clique and Rizod Rod------This song is about getting dick and getting pussy and gettin paid for it----its a really shitty song.

"Chief'in, Chief'in" is track 15 and it features the Kill'em Off Clique--who I have never heard of, it is an alright cut, the song has a very devilish sounding beat to it, almost like Blackout, the vocals are really tight also---they kinda remind me of the Playa Posse. Skinny Pimp, Lil Dope and Split Personality are up next with "Paper Chase", Skinny starts this song off with a descent verse but its nothing that special-----some one on this track tries to sound like Koopsta Knicca and doesnt do that tight of a job of it, the song is alright at best. "Having Thangs" features Mo Traxx, 1 Time Clique, and Jay Dub, it has a really nice beat---its something that you could at least listen to and maybe bump.

The last track is called "Y2K Connection" and its basically a bunch of flowing from Split Personality, Wah Wah, Mr. Litt and 38 Slug----its a pretty nice song. Overall this album is shitty, only 3 tight songs and most of the rest of the songs are flat out whack. I wouldnt recommend anyone to pick to this album up. If you are curious about this album cuz they are dissing 3-6, its not that dam deep, they only are dissin on like 2 cuts. I think the actual group 1 Time Clique only raps in like 6 songs. So if you see this album at the store, leave it there!!!!!!!!!
