4th solo for Noyd is another solid one - maybe 4.5 stars

(4 out of 5 stars)
"19 months since his last album, Noyd is back to rep QB with yet another solid album to add to his collection. Of his 4 solo albums, 2 get 4.5 stars, 1 gets 4, and this one is bor=derline between 4 and 4.5 (not to mention his "Armed and Dangerous" mixtape which I'd also give 4.5 stars). A close affiliate of Mobb Deep, Noyd always brings real, street grimy rap and the formula hasn't changed, and why change if thats what you know and you do it good. With 14 songs, 2 I heard recently on other albums and one Noyd ain't one and only does the hook on another. Of the 14 songs, 2 are ok, 1 is a classic, the other 11 are tight. Guests are on half the songs, and are all QB affiliates, mostly from Mobb Deep or the Infamous Mobb. Production is nice as well, from some good solid producers. Rick Rock does 5 songs, Havoc does 2, Alchemist, Sweb, King Benny, DJ Skizz, Mario, Jay Waxx Garfield andf Grime Team all do 1 song. A great album for fans of real street QB rap to have.
