T-Rock is back once again but this time it?s the much anticipated Rock Solid 4:20 album. It comes to us on Club Memphis music and has features from Project Pat, DJ Paul, Pastor Troy, & Gangsta Boo.
1. "Jump Bitch" mid tempo beat has a sort of a dark symphonic feel makes you get in that semi crunk mode. Hook has Jump Bitch being chanted in the background with Rock ripping the hook like this "They Be Scarred When We High - My Eyes Red As Fire - Drinking Fifths Of That Crown - Mean Mugging Till We Die". T-Rock spitting hard on this one, he makes you reminisce on the first time you heard him rip on a 3 6 track, no let down on this track he brings it from front to back one this one its some jaw cracking get the fuck off me type of shit.
2. "Go To War" mid tempo beat has that raise up piano symphonic vibe going to it, gets the head bobbing and the track a good start. Hook pretty basic gets the job done flows well ?Lets Go War Settle The Score -We Live A Life Of Crime Right To The Core?. T-Rock spitting on a trials tip for this track he talking bout handling whatever gets in his way on his rise to the top, mentions quite a few references to Paul and J on this track about helping him come up.
3. "Cross Out Nigga" (Ft Project Pat) mid tempo beat has sort of that opera chant feel going to it in the background some of that suspenseful type of shit. Pat and Rock handle the hook for this one it?s the simple chant hook, this track is real short barely makes the 2 minute mark, T-rock rips a quick verse about handling the business when peeps go sheisty you got to X em out. Seems like Project Pat should have been on this track but they cut the track short and left it strictly Rock.
4. "A Drout" dark beat on this one sounds like some cloudy storm clock tower its that time type of feel on this beat. The hook goes a little something like ?I Don?t Give A Damn About Fucking Drought - I Got Trailer Bringing Coke and Weed In By The Pounds - Im Finna Sew Up This Little Corner of The South?. T-Rock ripping it up on this one bout when he slang and serve it, there is never a drought its always plenty to go round.
5. "War Zone" sort of a trials beat makes you think of all the bad shit that gone by sort of a timeline of events right in front of you. T-Rock spitting hard on this track it makes me think of dirty South Version of some shit like "One Mic" makes you see all the thoughts that he has to endure and see what he has to see in the streets everyday. The hooks is pretty bumping goes something like "It?s a War Zone Keep A Tone Where You Roam - Body?s Getting Thrown With No Evidence Shown - It?s a War Zone Keep A Tone Where You Roam - We Live By The Chrome We Die By The Chrome."
6. "So Hi" (Ft DJ Paul) real slow beat some shit to just kick back to and slice it up, fill it up and commence to blow back. DJ Paul doing the hook on this one "So High - H-A-Y - Slice The Blunt - Light Green Shit" is how it goes but has sort of a scratch repetitive feel going to it real nice. You know what this track be about already off back, T-Rock just spitting about his favorite lady Miss Mary Jane a track all about the Dro just kick back and listen he lays it down tight all throughout once again.
7. "Thug Niggas" slow beat sort of a tell your story and start from step one like you being interrogated. T-Rock represents for the dirty third on this track talking bout how the south got some of the hardest folks out their we don?t play and aint scared to catch a charge. The hook is on one of them represent feels goes out to all the thugs and hustlers putting it down in the south who aint scared to catch and case and do some dirt when needed.
8. "Twist It Hit It" real kick back beat this sounds like some of the old 3 6 underground type of shit right here has a pimp old 70?s pimp twist to it as well. Another track about smoking big right here, T-Rock ripping it pretty damn fast on this track shows his versatility with the tongue twisting on this one. The hook goes something like "Grab Me A Swisher Cut It Up Fill It With Weed (Twist It Hit It Light It)"
9. "Must Be The Pussy" real simple beat has sort of lost illusion mystify feel to it. The hook on this one is on one of the female vs. male chant booty shake type of feels not really the greatest type of hook. The flows come clean on this track T-Rock just talking bout pimping/fucking hoes and how it must be the pussy that keeps you around cause it aint the face for damn sho.
10. "Give Me Sum" (Ft DJ Paul) this beat is some anticipation type of shit like damn what the fuck about to happen type of shit. DJ Paul handling the hook business on this track, and its just some hard gangsta shit grab the ski mask we bout to pull a stang. T-Rock spitting hard on this track he hitting you with that hard gritty no fear type of shit, they just talking bout pulling and lick on someone and having no regrets they out to handle ya.
11. "Slang" mid tempo beat this is some anthem type of shit its some shit that makes you just want to represent and say you proud. This track was on the Choices soundtrack and T-Rock rips this one up this is some block D-Boy music type of shit. The hook is pretty bumping goes a little something like "Come Smoke Some Herb With - Come Flip A Bird With Me - Step On The Curb With Me - Come Slang And Serve With Me".
12. "Whatcha Waitin On" this beat has some heavy guitar type of shit going to it makes you want to get crunk and start moving. This track was on the Hypnotize Camp album that came out awhile back, T-Rock spitting real hard on this track this it?s the type of shit you miss and had you anticipating this album in the first place. The hook is bumping goes like "Playa Whatcha Waitin On (Fie It On Up) Cause The Blunts Get Stuffed And The Hoes Getting Fucked"
13. "Whats Up" (Ft Pastor Troy) this is some buck shit right here some represent your city and get up lets do it type of shit. This track is old too this was on the Hypnotize Camp cd that came out a little while back as well. Pastor Troy starts this one out and he gets shit crunk as fuck grab the chairs it on ahhhhhhhhhhh. The hooks has one of the sayings that got famous ?Big Mouth Big Talk? Pastor Troy handles that too good shit. T-Rock laying it down on this track as well manne both these boys some of the best out of GA laying it down and giving you some hard shit to keep your head bobbing.
14. "World Of Crime" (Ft Gangsta Boo) this one of them slower sentimental type of track. This track is old as well this was one was way back on Gangsta Boo?s first album, this is one of them I Love you baby you love me and ill do anything for you type of tracks. T-Rock and Boo trading off verses talking bout all the stuff they would do to be down for each other, a clean track if you haven?t heard check it out sort of a relief form all the hard shit rock brings to the table.
15. "Whats Up" (Ft Pastor Troy) just the old track that was on this album and the camp album being screwed up for all the fans of the slowed shit this ones for you.
The production handled by DJ Paul & Juicy J was what you usually expect some good hard beats. Some of the beats don?t sound as top notch as the stuff they are capable of doing but still bumping. It seems Paul & Juicy wanted to keep this one strictly T-Rock and sort of keep their names out of the loop. The released it on sort of their third label Club Memphis Music which is the same label that they released the Boogaloo Boyer?s album. First thing that catches your eye is they blurred out the Hypnotize Medallion on the front cover and a lot of the songs seemed like rough cuts like they were suppose to have members on some of the songs but they took them off purposely except on a few hooks. T-Rock pretty much holds his own all throughout this album your not disappointed very much at all. The flows are the same style that had you bobbing your head and saying I cant wait till his solo album comes out. The only things that seem to lack is length most of the songs they are really short and there is only 10 new tracks on the album. The last 5 tracks are songs taken from other albums that were previously released. In end some of the tracks sound a little old but it was good to see this one finally come out and bless our ears. Overall T-Rock is a star with or without 3-6 and he has shown that to his audience, check this out its something to keep you satisfied till the next one.
