Boss Hogg Outlawz - Back By Blockular Demand: Serve and Collect II (2008)

It's the Boss Hoggs, but where are they back from? I didn't realize they had gone anywhere. Seems like they've been around pretty consistently. After listening to this one though, I think I get it. They're back on their game fo-sho. The opening tracks, "No Ceilin" and "Like Me" are hard as they come. They follow with a pretty classic Houston-style lookin clean that mixes some vocalization with some choppin and screwin. After that though, things slow down a bit before they come hard again with "Serve & Collect" and keep it bumpin with their "Rap Reality Show". They bring in Ray J for "Keep It Playa" which works better than most of what Ray J does on his own album, but still nothing too exciting. Other examples of hard, gangsta tracks include "Cost 2 Be" and "Wet Paint Drippin". This album is decent and has some pretty serious highlights. It's definitely Houston style and keeps it gritty. There are some of the slower, kinda boring tracks mixed in though, so if you're not into those, get ready to skip around.

6.5/10
