Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following their independent success, the Memphis duo's sophomore album heavily incorporates the slick, melodic production of G-Funk while maintaining their Southern identity. The record vividly chronicles urban crime and hedonism through the contrasting, highly rhythmic flows of both MCs.
