Field Mob - From Tha Roota To Da Toota
Reviewed By: ULTIMATECDLINK
Album Rate: 4.5 out of 5 Stars
The Albany, GA duo Boondox Blax and Kalage, collective known as Field Mob, return with the follow up to their 2001 debut album. The single "Sick Of Being Lonely" featuring Torica has been doing well nationwide. The album also features Cee-Lo, Trick Daddy, & Trina and production from Jazze Pha, Ole E, Willie Cool, & Earth Tone.
1. K.A.N.-- this track has a nice tempo to it. Boondox Blax and Kalage both drop some nice lyrics describing how they are "kuntry ass niggas". Nice way to start the album.
2. Nothing 2 Lose-- this track has that commercial radio sound as well as being socially conscious lyrically. Boondox and Kalage rap taking the perspective of a slave who watched his father hung and mother sold. They wanna be free and don't feel like they have anything to lose by trying to escape. This is one of my favorite tracks on the album.
3. Don't Want No Problems-- this track has a nice laid back beat that you ride to. Boondox and Kalage both flow their asses off on this one about how they don't want no more beef with their enemies. Very tight song.
4. Bitter Broads (interlude)
5. Sick Of Being Lonely-- this is the first single from the album and the creation of producer Jazze Pha. It's a very radio friendly single with Torica singing the hook from the perspective of the woman whose man goes out with his boys every night while Field Mob rap from the male perspective. Catchy single and not that bad of a song.
6. Where R U Going?-- this track also has a bit of a commercial radio feel to it. Boondox and Kalage drop some decent verses but it's not one of the tighter tracks on the album.
7. It's Hell-- this track is probably my favorite track on the album. Boondox and Kalage rap about a thug facing time in jail looking back at all the hard times in his past. Catchy hook will have ya bobbin to it. Like I said, this is one of the best tracks on the whole album.
8. ConverHation-- (skit)
9. Haters-- this track has that up tempo crunk Florida style beat with the horns and features Miami, FL rap superstar, Trick Daddy. Trick Daddy drops a decent verse. It's a bumpable song.
10. Hit It For Free-- this track has a nice gangsta West Coast laid back type beat. Boondox and Kalage rap about gettin the pussy for free or jackin off to pornos. This track will make you laugh but it's not all that tight to me.
11. Kuntry Cooking-- skit
12. Betty Rocker-- this track has a beat that kinda reminds me of Outkast's single "Land Of A Million Drums". This track is basically about cookin the dope and gettin it ready to sell. Nice flows on the mic on this one.
13. Cut Loose-- this track has Boondox and Kalage tellin the story of how a girl leaves him for another man even though she's still fuckin him. It's a decent track.
14. All I Know-- this track has that nice mid tempo beat to it. This track was one of my favorite tracks on the Greg Street "6 O'Clock" compilation album and still features ex-Goodie Mob member Cee-Lo. However, the track doesn't contain the verse by ATL rapper T.I. Still a tight track but definitely should have left T.I. on there.
15. Sick Of Being Lonely (Dirty South Mix)-- this is the same song as the original except they added a verse by Trina in the middle of it.
Overall, I thought this is one of the better albums released in 2002. It has solid verses and beats throughout the entire album. I didn't think that this album is better than their debut project "6:13: Ashy To Classy" but you won't be dissapointed with this one.
