Heyyyyyyyyy! That's Riiiigght! Got to get my ad libs up like dat boi Young Jeezy! Dem Boyz N Da Hood are really something serious. P Diddy found himself a gold mine with this group. They have the potential to put Bad Boy back on top. Hailed by Diddy as 'The New NWA', they look to make a mark on the industry. For a new group we got to do a run down of the characters before we get into the album.



-First up we got that boi J-O-D-Y Breeze, the youngest rapper out the group from Griffin, GA. Discovered by Jazze Pha and is also signed to Pha's record label ShoNuff records with Ciara (you seen him in that Ciara video). He'll drop a solo album pretty soon with the singles AK's & Chevrolets and Stay Fresh a true classic pimpin song. He's the most playalistic out the group.

-Next up dat boi Young Jeezy (Heeeeeyyyy). Young Jeezy has the biggest buzz out of Atlanta since T.I. first dropped. His mixtape Trap Or Die is an alltime classic on par with T.I.'s Down With The King. He's the most clever and witty out the group and has the best delivery and most easily recognizable voice (Yeaaaaaahhhhhh). He is the star out of the group as he's signed to both Bad Boy South and Def Jam Records and has cameo'd on Fabolous' Real Talk album.

-Then we got that boi Big Gee. Big Gee is a hustla out the A. He used to work that magic with the Dungeon Family so you already should know the business. He's the veteran out the group (Robert Horry style).

-The last player is Big Duke...I don't know too much about his background but he is more than capable of running with these other cats but he ends up being in this group "the other guy" that every group has.



Now That you have an idea about the group, let's get into the album. First things first these Boyz be spittin something hard. They truly spit some gangsta lyrics about ridin, bustin, shooting, killing, selling, living, trappin, pimpin, catching cases etc. etc. So in that sense they are like NWA. However they lack the social commentary that group had. That still doesn't take away from the lyrics though. Each rapper gets real on the mic. I think Jody Breeze and Young Jeezy deliver the best lyrical performances. The production is of course excellent handled by Jazze Pha, DJ Toomp, Nitti, Erick Sermon and some other underground producers. So that aspect is top notch. The songs are also very memorable with some great choruses. Songs such as Look, Don't Put Your Hands On Me, B's & Bizness, Trap Ni66a's, If U A Thug, Keep It N Da Hood and Happy Jamz as well as the singles Dem Boyz, Felonies, and Gangstas feat. a verse from the Legendary Eazy E are all great songs worthy of more than a couple rewinds. The only song I just didn't like was Still Slizzard...the beat was too much stop and go for me but it doesn't detract from the flow of the album or the quality.



Boyz N Da Hood have definitely delivered on every aspect even exceeding expectations. This one right here is a must have. An Easy Recommendation...5 stars....YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"While listening to this CD all I could think about was how I hadn't listened to a CD from begining to end in a long time. Well that wait is over! With the exception of Diddy's annoying talking on the intro this complete joint is CLASSIC. I mean the south has never really been off the map, just slept on a little bit, but these boyz really are showing people the south is here to stay. I was skeptical at first but once I listened to it I was sold. Even the track with Easy E, which I thought was going to be another garbage song using someone who died vocals, was off the chain. DEM BOYZ REALLY GOT WORK!!! SCOOP THIS DISC UP YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!"
