Lil' Keke, one of the best Southern rappers, but the least recognized. I'd say Lil' Keke is today what UGK was in the late 90s in that he is great, but still somewhat underground. Well, his new cd is tight and he makes a convincing case for a Bun B-Lil Keke super collabo album. Now that's just my own fantasy, I don't want to start any rumors here. Anyway, this is a really good cd. The album starts out with the laid back Houston-style gangsta cut "Act a Fool With It". The album stays hard from there, but just builds. The Houston all-star track with Paul Wall, Slim Thugga, and Tre Virdure, "Money in the City" is dope with a hard beat and gritty H-town verses. He shows his emotional side, if you can call it that, on "I Miss My Boyz" and "4 Doors and Coupes", but then quickly brings it back hard with "I'm a G" a hardcore track about growing up and into the game. This is a hard album. The track "She Love Gangsta's" sort of reminds me of some old No Limit/TRU stuff, but with better rapping and production. The whole album is good, so enjoy it.
7.5/10
