This is these kats second album and mane this shit is tight as fuck, it basically only an EP but all the songs are really solid. Lo-Life has gotten outta jail so that’s probably why they released this EP. “Once Again Its On” is the first track and the beat is off the hook, all 3 of them really come correct on this track, E-Rock, 007 and Lo Life drops some amazing shit on this track. “Lo Life In The Street” is up next and the beat is a really tight Geto Boyz sounding beat, the vocals are very solid also.

“Gangsta Funk” has to be one of my favorite Texas cuts, this song is just too dam chilled, I can bump to this shit all day and go dip in my who ride. The beat is too dam crunk and the vocals are cold as fuck. “Ghetto Curse Words” is a song that was on their first album, it has an E-40 beat, and its basically like the old Spice 1 cut 187 Proof where he raps about Ole English, Marijuana, E & J and shit like that, basically making a song bout shit like that. Its dope as fuck. “Underground G’s” is another dope ass track, it’s a uptempo song, Kaoz which is a female comes hard as fuck on this song, many of the 5th Ward Juveniles are on this song also.

“Same Ol Shit” is track 6 and its another track from their first album, this song is classic and is tight as fuck, it’s a must have for everyone. Up next is “Reason” which is off the hook, I cant say enough good shit about this song, the beat is banging and the vocals are straight gangsta----great fuckin song. Overall this is a dope ass lil album, I’m sure you can find if cheap somewhere so get up off your lazy ass and go buy it, I gurantee you wont be dissappointed, this is how the old gangsta shit used to sound and how it should still sound.
