Synopsis

Product Description

As a precursor to the Big Twins album later this year, Dirt Class Records compiles The Grimey Collection. Containing hard-to-find buzz songs, mixtape bangers and exclusive debuts, The Grimey Collection wets the audience's appetite for that true-to-the-streets QB brand Hip Hop. This Spring, Big Twins appears on Prodigy's album HNIC2, a surefire release set to garner the attention of fans and critics alike. Twins' appearance on this highly anticipated record brings the seasoned vet into the public light like never before as a viable solo artist, and sets the tone for The Grimey Collection and his coming solo LP. On this project, you find collaborations with West Coast heavyweights Alchemist and Evidence (of Dilated Peoples), along with QB cohorts, Ty Nitty, Big Noyd and Godfather. Mobb Deep's own Prodigy spatters this release with his signature swag by both introducing the project and contributing two songs and Havoc laces Twin with a gruesome beat on "Sold My Soul." A project that puts current albums to shame, the Grimey Collection is just the beginning Keep your ear to the streets.

CD Reviews

Solo debut is decent

G$ | B-More, MD | 11/28/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Big Twin, a.k.a. Twin Gambino of the Infamous Mobb drops his solo debut album. I ahve all 3 of the Infamous Mobb albums, 2 I'd give 5 stars and the other is 4 star worthy, so when I saw Twin was dropping a solo I knew I had to get it. Not as good as I thought it would be, but it still is a decent album, just expected more from what I've heard from him in the past. With 16 songs (2 are on other albums), you get a decent amount of Big Twin. Of the 16, 1 is a classic, 2 are ok, the other 13 are good, but only a few are real good. Guests are on about half of the songs, and are mostly fellow QB dwellers. Production is decent, not as good as what he usually has. Sid Roams did the majority (11 of the 16), the rest is handled by Evidence (2 songs), and Alchemist, Havoc ad Sebb each do 1 song. Not his best work, but still worth checking out for fans of QB style rap.
