Relativez 4th album is another good one

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Almost 2 years since their last album (although it's more like a mixtape as I recognize about two thirds of teh beats) the Relativez are back. I have 4 of their albums and one mixtape (as well as the Young Soldierz album) and this is the 3rd best of them. With 14 songs, you get 1 almost classic, 1 I skip, 3 ok ones, and the other 9 are good, a few being real good. Like most their albums, you get some tales of hustling, pimpin and a blood anthem or 2 with a few more personal songs thrown in. Production or guest credits aren't given but for 1 song. A must ahve for fans of real west coast rap and from a group goin into their 14th year in rap.
