This is one of my favorite old school junts here, Big Mike brings it to you on every dam track. “Comin From The Swamp” is the first junt on this album and its off the hook, Mike drops some tight ass vocals to this beat that N.O. Joe laid down. “World Of Mine” is a very laid back track that Big Mike kicks some knowledge on, the beat is off the hook and the content of the vocals is blazing as well. “Ghetto Love” is a cut bout coming on from a youth, it’s another tight ass cut, everything is cold as fuck on this track.

“Creepin-Rollin” is up next and its blazing as well, this nigga drop some really tight vocals and the beat is tight like all the other cuts. “Smoke Em & Choke Em” like the the mutha fucka Peta mane, this cut is off the hook, Big Mike drops some amazing vocals on this track, the beat is flat out amazing also, they use a snoop dog sample in the chorus which is tight as well, everything is off the hook on this track. “Havin Thangs” had a video if I remember correctly, but anyways its off the fuckin map, this shit is flat out crunk, the vocals, chorus and beat are all perfect.

“On Da Real” is one my favorite cuts, have you noticed that all the cuts so far are off the hook, well this is going with the theme so far, its off the chain also, Mike kicks some really tight vocals on this track as well. It has a very laid back rollin type of beat, everyone can get down with this shit here. “Playa Playa” had a video I am for sure, all you older kats will remember this shit, this song is hella tight as well, it has a very laid back feel to it and Mike drops really solid vocals on this track like always.

“Southern Thang” is the first cut I really don’t bump all that much, it doesn’t sound like any of the other cuts, the beat is pretty weak. “Somethin Serious” is next up and it and it aint really all that either, the beat is pretty weak and Mike aint really talking bout nothing. Dammit Mike I want a tight cut, “Get Over That” is next up and it’s a laid back cut, its aight, its a lot better then the last 2 cuts but it cant fade the first 9 songs. Up next is “Fire” and its an alright cut at best, nothing I really ever bump.

Mr.Scarface is featured on the next cut “Daddy’s Gone” and it’s a pretty solid cut, its is a very slow style cut about fuck up shit going on in the world, its nothing you can go out and bump, something that you listen to and get mad or get depressed. The last cut is “On Da 1” and it features dem Trill Azz Niggaz UGK, Bun B and Pimp C come hella tight on this song along with Big Mike, it’s a very solid track, it has a very strong old school feel to it.

Overall this is a really tight album, Mike drops tight cut after tight cut, it gets a little soft towards the end but the first part of it more then makes up for it. In my opinion this is a must have for all southern music fans, I think young and old fans will both love this shit, it doesn’t have that strong of an old feel to it even though it came out back in 94, so go pick this junt up bitch!!!!!!!!!!!
