Decent 3rd

"After just over 2 years since their last album, Big Wy & Suga Buga return with a decent album. Not as good as their great debut "Dirty Money" (2000) or their Classic sophomore album, the 2002 "The Takeover", the 2 still deliver a quality west coast album. It ahs 2 classics or near classics, there is 6 good songs and about 6 that are average. The album starts off rather slow but picks up by track 8. Production is a little less west coast sounding and less gangsta then the previous albums as well, but they do a good job with what they had. Money Boyz produced 2 songs, Mark Sparks, Ric Rude, Broadway, and DJ Khalil each did one song, and Rush produced 8. It looks like it has a lot of guests, but most of them are their just for the hooks, only 3 vereses on the album are done by other rappers. A good album for west coast hip-hop fans but definitely check out their first 2 albums they're both near classics and if you can find their mid '04 mixtape "Hood Mix Vol. 1" it's good as well, and Big Wy & Lil Stretch's "Young Soldierz" album from 1992 is also decent.
