Nice album from the whole D-Block

"I'm writing this review for the 15 song (3 bonus song) CD. Styles, Sheek, and Jadakiss finally get the D-Block boys together for a real album, not a mixtape. They bring 9 other members on this one, all being decent to good on the mic. You have the two I've heard the most from, Bully & Straws (one half of Team Arliss), both I've heard on about 15 songs, you have Snyp Life, AP, Bucky, S.I. and Ty & Don D from Carolina, all who I've heard on 2-4 songs before and Large Amount who I've never heard. Of course there is no J-Hood, who was the strongest on the mic in the group, and I don't know where Trav, the other half of Team Arliss is on this one. Every person is on 3-6 songs otehr than Styles & Sheek, 9 and 10 of the songs, and Don D is only on 1. Of the 15 songs, you get 2 near classic, 4 ok ones, and 9 good or real good songs. Production is pretty good as well. Vinny Idol does 4 songs, Poobs does 2, Tuneheadz, Wayne Retti, Crada, The Twin, Scram Jones, Minnesota Boys, MD, Pete Rock and Surefire each do 1. A nice album to have for fans of real stret rap.
