Album Rate: 4.25 out of 5 Stars
After signing Sucka Free Records to a major label, Lil Flip & Hump take time out to showcase labelmates Lil Ron, Yung Redd, & Big Shasta. The new album features Chamillionaire, TC, Yung Sears, & a bonus disc of remixed cuts from Lil Flip's "Undaground Legend" CD.
1. Deep Down South (f/ Yung Redd, Lil Ron, Lil Flip, & Shasta)-- this track has a midtempo beat with some mixin and scratchin. The hook goes "we from the deep down south in the city/99 percent of these girls be lookin pretty/that's why I've got to stay on the grind/so we can be 100% all the time". There's really not much that stands out on the track and I was really disappointed with the song.
2. In My Backyard (f/ Yung Redd)-- this track has a laid back melodic piano laced beat. Redd does a pretty nice job holdin it down on the mic telling us the story of what goes down in his hood. Nice track.
3. I'm A Baller (f/ Yung Redd, Chamillionaire, & TC)-- this track has a symphonic happy-go-lucky beat over a simple bassline. Redd starts the track off with a decent verse. TC spits some nice flows on the track while Chamillionaire's talents are wasted on just the hook. Overall, a nice song through and through.
4. Bounce With Me (f/ Yung Redd & Lil Flip)-- this track has a tight ass midtempo beat that will have ya head bobbin along to it. Lil Flip starts it off with his patented flow and does a decent job. Yung Redd does a really nice job on his verse as well. Tight song that you'll wanna rewind and give another listen to.
5. Mind Blowin (f/ Lil Ron)-- this track has an armageddon comin for yo ass type beat. Lil Ron shines on the track describing his new baller status and how the fans be tryin to break their necks to get a glimpse of him. Nice track.
6. They Don't Know What The Game About (f/ Lil Ron, Big Shasta, & Yung Sears)-- this track has a really laid back symphonic beat that will have ya bobbin ya head along. Everyone on the track comes through will some tight flows. It's definitely not a song worth skipping. Probably my favorite track on the album.
7. Nobody Move (f/ Yung Redd, Lil Ron, & Big Shasta)-- this track has a darker, gangsta beat with hi-hats. They sample Easy-E's "Nobody move, nobody get hurt" throughout the song. I was feelin Lil Ron's flow on the song but other than that, I didn't like this one too much.
8. Let My Hair Blow (f/ Lil Ron)-- this track has a tight little beat that sounds like a combo of a piano loop over a gangsta west coast beat with snares snappin off for a bassline. Lil Ron does a great job on the mic rappin about livin the playa lifestyle. Really tight song.
9. My Mama Used To Tell Me (f/ Lil Flip & Big Shasta)-- this track has a nice midtempo beat of a cross between church bells and a deep bassline. Flip comes through with a tight flow on a couple of verses. The hook goes "my mama used to tell me make that money don't let the money make you". It's a really bumpin track.
10. Thugs N Club (f/ Lil Ron, Yung Redd, Lil Flip, & Big Shasta)-- this track has a nice laid back beat. The hook will get ya crunk with its Pastor Troy-like chant "there's some thugs in this club/somebody gon' get knocked out". Everyone on the track comes correct on the mic. Very tight song.
11. Mind On My Money (f/ Lil Flip)-- this track has a dark, gangsta drive by-shoot-yo-ass type beat. Lil Flip comes with some tight punchlines and it's actually funny to hear him stretch to rhyme words at times. This track is definitely worth checkin out if you're a Flip fan.
12. Plain & Simple (f/ Lil Ron & Yung Redd)-- this track has a nice midtempo beat with hi-hats and a bumpin bassline. Lil Ron starts it off and comes with some real street lyrics that vividly paint a picture of the hood for us. Yung Redd brings a nice flow to mic as well. Good choice to end the album off with.
The 10-track bonus disc consists of remixes of cuts (new verses, same beats) from Lil Flip's "Undaground Legend" CD that dropped earlier last year. There's not much on these tracks that make you forget the original songs. If you own his "Last Man Standing" underground CD, you'll find these songs more than familiar and probably upset that he didn't put anything new on here.
Overall, the 7-1-3 album is more than a cheap attempt to move units by adding Lil Flip's name to the album title. It actually showcases the often overlooked talents of Yung Redd & Lil Ron and they deliver. I actually expected to see more of Lil Flip on the first disc but found myself not really missing him at all. It's definitely worth checkin out if you're a fan of the H.S.E. and those of you that don't own "Last Man Standing" will enjoy the bonus disc as well.
