I basically bought this album cuz I saw my boy from Pimp Playa Hustlas was on here (Dit-M). These cats are from Dallas and the group is made up of Lil P, Big Dank and Ms. P. This is their first release to my knowledge. The first cut “Playin Da Game” is a uptempo wild type of song, I really don’t like it that much but many of yall will find it tight. There are some really fast flows after the first verse on this track. “Mama” features Duce #1 and it’s a slower style cut about his mama, it’s a descent cut but nothing I really ever lisetn to. “Southcoast” features Duce #1 again, this cut is pretty unoriginal, I am really dissappointed with this album so far.

Track 4 is “Ballaz” and it’s a very tight cut, its has a devilish sounding beat to it, the vocals are hella tight as well. “Love Of Your Own (Remix)” is next up and it’s a really tight slow style cut, the beat and the vocals are on point on this track. “Throw It Up” is a get buck type of song, it would get yall really buck if yall like this type of shit, it aint really my style but the song aint that bad. Track 7 is “Act Ah Fool” and it features my nigga Dit-M and woah mane, this beat is really tight and the vocals are hella tight as well, this nigga Big Dank comes really tight but the highlight of the song is when Dit-M drops his classic sounding shit, I love this niggaz voice.

“I Am Gone” is an amazing song, I can bump this shit all dam day, the beat, vocals, chorus and fuckin everything is perfect. It has some female that is singin in the chorus and she sounds tight as fuck, then they come in and rip shit up on the mic----flowing really tight. They got some nigga that sounds like Twista on this cut also. “Jack Move (screwed)” is next up and it’s a pretty shitty cut, they did a terrible job of screwing this cut. “Crooked Cops” features Duce #1, this cut is really tight, the beat is very solid and the vocals are hella tight.

“Lock Up” is a slow style cut about going to the penetentary. It is alright but nothing I ever really bump, I really don’t like songs this slow. “Bank Robbery” is a song where they flow fast as fuck on, it reminds me of some Memphis shit, this nigga G-Money can flow fast as fuck, it’s a really tight cut. Next up is “Fat Sac Of Dank” features Duce #1 again, this cut is an aight sounding cut, its nothing that you go right to to bump but you can at least listen to it. The last cut is “Love Of Your Own” and it has a really tight ole school beat. I like ole school R&B beats that rappers flow to, this is a very solid track.

Overall this is a pretty solid release from these kats, the tight songs are hella tight and the not so good cuts arent that bad, you really cant go wrong with this album, it might not be your first choice but it’s a nice one to have around.
