Debut album for the duo formed by Timothy "Tim Smooth" Smoot and Mark "DJ Too Cool" Marine. The production is made by Too Cool and Leroy "Precise" Edwards, and the rapping is exclusively the work of Tim Smooth, flanked by guests Bust-Down, Playache' and MC Thick, keeping things in New Orleans despite the record being signed by Rap-A-Lot of Houston.
The cover is punctual, for the rest, the disc trudges immediately: the production chosen by the guys is bad and shoddy, perpetually cheap and full of ridiculous rhythms, embarrassing samples and hard and pounding drums, while the delivery of the MC is simply decent, slow, weak, sometimes smooth. Interesting random g-funk splashes, here the guys aren't really committing themselves: it comes out a bloated and irregular gangsta record, with over 63 minutes of listening in just 14 tracks, many close to 6 minutes, exhausting. The commercial failure resulting from the project convinces Priority not to extend the contract with the boys: for Too Cool it's the end of the journey, but Tim Smooth will still try to do something with rap in the following years, too bad that, while the game continues to change, he will always remain as if it were still 1986.
Rating: 4/10.
