Entirely produced by Skinny Pimp, who released it with his label Gimisum Productions, this is the first cassette realized by the Memphis rapper Lady Bee, also affiliated with the Triple 6 Mafia, like almost all native Memphis rappers, practically.
Skinny Pimp makes pretty decent beats for Lady Bee's slow rapping style, and I think he's there himself providing a bit of scattered rapping throughout the project (not credited). The first cut features an intro of him followed by a rhythm with a slow, tight drum machine and a slow syncopated smooth delivery by the female rapper. A boom bap follows with dance / hip house vibes, decent delivery and simple hook, good flow from Skinny Pimp, who continues to make lean beats for later songs: the third one has a mild sound, "Glock in My Hand" has a good dark sample, while the "North Memphis Area" instrumental features a tightly looped male sample, has a good bap boom with hard, slow and pounding dry syncopated drum machine, and two or three lines looped and scratched throughout the cut. Closes a solo that should be performed by Skinny Pimp, but I'm not sure, on funky southern skeletal beats with dark sample, simple drum and good smooth slow syncopated delivery. Decent Lady Bee tape, although she released a couple of better cassettes in the following months, before exiting the rap game: it's basically a Skinny Pimp tape, Lady Bee performs exclusively in the A side, then Skinny Pimp executes the rest of the tape with a pitched up voice to complete it.
Rating: 6/10.
