South Part of Memphis deep up in diss bitch with this Taylor Boyz album, if ya'll dont know, Taylor Boyz are part of Alkatraz and have been in the game for a minute, this is their first album though. The group is made up of Taylor Boy and K.O. Cane Wayne. Most all of the beats are done by DJ Squeeky or Money Butt Naked, J-Dogge and DJ Diz. The intro on this album is flat out blazing, even though they are just talking and shit, the beat is banging and by just listening to the intro you can tell that the album is bumping. "Niggaz On The Block" is track 2 and its flat out crunk, these niggas got a pretty quick flowing style to them, not like C-9 or anything but pretty fast, Kocane Wayne rips shit up on this track and so does Taylor Boy, this song is crunk. They alternative verses throughout this song and it sounds hella tight.

"Big Bagz" is up next and they got a video for this song on Memphis Undaground, its a tight video, but anyway the song is just amazing, crunk ass shit, these niggas are flowing ever so tight. "Illegal Substance" has a very deep bass beat to it, its a slower song then the first 2 cuts, but they drop some really tight vocals about slanging and shit, its a very tight song, dam near everything I have ever heard them rap on, is off the hook. "28 Gramz" is off the hook also, its a laid back track, they drop some really tight vocals to this laid back beat by DJ Squeeky. "Kinfolk Shit" is just an alright cut, I aint really feelin the beat all that much, the vocals are crunk, Al Kapone drops some tight shit on this track also.

Up next is a song that is off the chain "Get Cha Some", mane this song is blazing, the beat is hella tight, Kokane Wayne starts this song off tight as fuck, the vocals are off the hook, then Taylor Boy comes in and tears shit up, mane up next is Al Kapone dropping that gangsta shit, very tight verse. Right after him is Taylor Boy again droppin dope shit, then my nigga Young Lo comes in and rips shit up propper like----mane he drops some tight shit. Last but not least is the masked man, Tom Skeemask---mane he comes tight as fuck, with one of his classic verses---this song is off the chain, everyone needs to peep this shit. "Big Bag Of Blunts" is another crunk song, that flowing ass bitch Mac Brownie starts this track off flowing fast as fuck, Big Vince and Young Lo also make an appearance along with Taylor Boyz, this song is blazing, everyone comes correct.

"Catraggly" is a very tight cut, its has a really tight beat to it and both Taylor Boy and Kokane Wayne drop dope shit. Up next is a slower cut about growing up in poverty, its very tight though, "Visions Of Poverty", dam near anything that Taylor Boyz put out is crunk and so is this song. "Bring On Tha Noize" is a hella old song, this shit was on the Memphis Undaground Hustlaz album that was released back in 95. Its a get buck type of song that is alright.

"Tha Main Event" is next up and its crunk it has a gang of people in it, Young Lo starts this track off flowing tight as fuck, Squeeky drops the beat, then Kokane Wayne comes in and tears shit up, him and Lo alternate for a minute, then Taylor Boy comes in and rips shit, Big Vince makes the next appearance---its an alright verse for him, mane up next is Gangsta Blac---straight thuggin on South Parkway, mane this nigga drops some dope shit on this track, he is followed with Kokane Wayne droppin yet another crunk verse, then Mac Brownie that flowing ass female comes in and raps faster then any female I have ever heard. Right after her is 1st Degree droppin a really nice verse, GK comes in next with a nice verse. Young Lo comes back in next and rips shit up again, mane people sleep on Lo cuz he is crunk, Criminal Mane drops the next verse and its crunk as fuck, then Lil Groove comes in and tear shit up, also Yo Lynch and Thugsta drop crunk verses on this cut, mane yall wondering when this is gonna end, Al Kapone comes in and tears shit up last. This song is amazing, one of the best songs ever!!!

That is basically the last song, they got an outro with some talking and a radio version of Catraggly as the last 2 cuts, but anyway, this album is off the chain, all the songs are crunk and yall need to pick it up when you can, I gurantee yall will bump this shit for a while none stop. Its all straight up gangsta shit, no love shit. Pick this shit up right now!!!!!!!!
