(4 out of 5 stars)

"After over 6 years since his last album, the classic "Hard to Hit" Big Mike is out of jail and back in our ears. Probably tied with "Somethin Serious" as his 2nd best album. The first I heard of Mike in 6 years and I heard a rumor he was killed, but luckily he wasn't and he gets his music out again cause he's one of the best form the south and been in the rap game for about 15 years now. With 16 songs, 1 is a classic gangsta Big Mike style song, 10 are good or great, 5 are ok, no bad ones. Guests rap on 4 songs and do hooks on 4 more so not as much of Big Mike as I'd hoped since not hearing from him since mid 1999 but oh well. Production is decent and handled by 7 people, I only heard of Mike B and Cory Mo, the others are Big Time, Chemical, Gutter, Iroc Beats and 4-Trey. It also comes with a screwed & chopped Cd but that's not my thing. A nice album for fans of real southern rap to have.
