Even when Black and Killa Hoe ain't the best rappers alive, their styles work together smoothly and I always find myself grinning to their grim and at the same time funny lyrics about selling drugs and the consequences of the dopegame. Especially "After Servin A Deuce" is a classic story about coming back to the streets after couple of years in the slammer. Also the last track which is the best SPC posse cut in my books is lyrically sick as usual with K-Rino dropping the insane line about a rhyme that was so dope it wrote itself.. :)
And the beats, what more can I say but perfection from start to finish. Lots of great samples and all around that good old gangsta feel with the whistles and whines. Even the most clubbiest track "Da Muzik" gets pulled off with style and damn I like the way they flipped the "Look Of Love" sample on "Road 2 No Return". Too bad there's no telling who produced which track.
I don't know how good 20-2-Life's newer albums are but this one is an album every southern gangsta rap fan should own.
