5th Ward Boyz - Rated G
Reviewed By: GRIM
Album Rate: 3.75 out of 5 Stars
This is these niggas 3rd album. Its surely not as tight as their first one but its still very solid. The first track is called “Dirty” and it has a really tight beat and they drop some straight gangsta vocals. “Concrete Hell” is up next and its off the hook, it’s a very laid back track about jail and shit. Mane this shit is blazing, they drop some really strong vocals on this shit----I can bump this song all day long. “Situations” is up next and it’s a slower style cut that makes you think bout some of the fucked up shit in the world, but its very tight, it gets a lot of play in my player.
“5th Ward” is up next, it’s a laid back track also, its alright but I really don’t bump it all that much, you can at least listen to it though. “The Streets” is more of gangstafied song then the last few, its alright, it sounds like the old Geto Boyz shit, it’s a straight cut. “Your Life” is the best song on the album by far and it might be on of the best songs ever, the beat is amazing, the vocals are tight as fuck also. They come so tight on this track, everyone needs to peep this song out. “Death Is Calling” is track 9, its nothing all that special though.
“Raising Cain” is a very solid laid back track, the chorus is very chilled and tight. The vocals are very solid as well. Pimp C and Bun B are featured on this next track “Swing Wide” this is a very solid track, everyone comes really tight on this shit. “Busta” is a very uptemp get up and get wild type of song. It’s a straight cut, very gangstafied cut. “One Night Stand” is track 13, its an alright cut but nothing I will ever bump for real, its more of a fuck type of song.
The last track is called “Step Into My Hood” is a very uptempo gangsta song, it features Mr Slim, Kaos, Daddy Loc and Young Gotti, it’s a pretty tight lil track. Overall this is a very solid album, its a lot better then shit that they are putting out today. I would recommend people that like older texas rap to pick this shit up, they don’t have any commercial type of shit on this album, stictly gangsta shit.
