Usual Suspects just another one of those no name groups coming out with some nice guest spots on the album hoping to sell some albums. The group consists of four guys named Bliss, Louis the XIV, Prince Bugsy, & Smokee. The album features Juvenile & Project Pat of The Hypnotize Camp.

1. "Ball or Fall Anthem" has a nice beat to it gots some piano with some effects with it tight lil beat. This tracks has all the Usual Suspects spitting real nice and the chorus is kind plain but laid out real well a tight song for the beginning of the album.

2. "Holla at My Thugs" this has a tight lil orchestra type beat and nice lil bouncy type baseline. Juvenile is featured on this cut and his does the hook as well as a verse tight shit by Juvie on this one. Usual Suspects come real nice too another bumping track.

3. "Power and Sition" has a nice beat that sounds like an east coast meets dirty south style on this beat. This track features Big Ramp and they all come tight and the hook is very well laid out tight shit once again.

4. "Baller" this has nice beat that has some like futuristic computer effects in it with a real bouncy ass baseline. This is a solo track by Louis the XIV and he comes real tight another head banger right hea tight shit.

5. "Real Niggaz" has a tight lil beat its like real bouncy and has some good effects on it could be summin for the clubs. This track features Project Pat and this beat goes real good with his style and he comes real nice. The Usual Suspects lay out a good chorus and drop some nice lyrics.

6. "Fuck What A Hater Say" has tight ass beat sounds like some more orchestra/bounce/evil twist to it tight shit on this one. They all come real tight on this track good hook good lyrics tight shit on this one again.

7. "Put Your Shades On" has like a cash money type beat/bouncy once again on this one. This track they twist is with like a cash money bling style but im liking this shit, I like it more than most cash money type songs they twist it real good.

8. "Top of The Line" this has a more harder but still bouncy beat. This is a solo track by Bliss and he got s nice lil hook laid out on this track and he comes real nice with the lyrics another very tight track.

9. "Fade On The Floor" this has a bouncy ass beat mixed in with some like circus type effects a tight beat fa sho though. They all come real tight on this track and the hook is nice as well not their best on the album but pretty good.

10. "Walk Like A Killa" this shit has a tight ass beat its like real fast up tempo shit. This track has a tight lil hook and they all come real nice on this track another one of the tighter tracks on the album should have you like damn this album is a surprise.

11. " They Fucking Wit Our Minds" has a nice lil hardcore type beat sounds like something No Limit would work with back in the days.

12. "What I Live For" has a real slow mellow type beat/ the only one on this album so far. This song reminds me of the Lil Wayne song "Everything" it sounds kind of similar to it. They all come nice on this track the hook gots some singing in it but for sure soem good stuff if you like slower struggle tracks.

13. "All About The Money" has a mid tempo beat with some deep bass effects in the background and some effects that sound like some china town shit. They all come tight on this shit with lyrics and the chorus is tight as well another tight track.

14. "Get Wit Me" has s lower beat with some deep ass piano in the background and they rap real monotone on this track. This is one of the less bumpable tracks on the album but nowhere near real sorry some may like it.

15. "Put Your Back In It (Bounce)" has a bouncy ass beat this is really something for the clubs. I like this track its a tight track for the clubs its got a tight lil chorus hella catchy they laid it out nice on this track.

16. "Let Me Ball (Bounce)" has a real fast up tempo bouncy ass beat sounds sort of like some cash money mixed with some underground south sound. They come real nice on this track its the last track on the album and its a good way to end the album.

Usual Suspects came real tight for a debut album, they showed that they trying make some kind of an impact on the underground south level. The album sounds more like a mainstream type style but still underground at the same time. Its got a lot of up tempo type tracks with hard lyrics. The production done by AJ Skratch & Super Dave and is very well done their is not really one sorry beat on this album. Out of about 16 tracks I say 12 to 13 are very bumping, the first 10 alone you can play from start to end in my own opinion. In end go get this shit its a very good album.
