"Trae returns with his 2nd album of 2007, and 3rd in a 15 month period. Of his 3 albums I own, this is in the middle, slightly below "Restless" and slightly better than "Tha Truth Show". As usual the better tracks on here are the deeper more personal ones, he seems to make them rather well, but you get some nice gangsta tracks and a few party ones as well. With 14 songs on here, you get guests on 9 of the 14, so guests are rather heavy, and I was surprised no Z-Ro, Scarface, or UGK but oh well you still get a few good ones on here. Of the 14 songs. 1 is a classic, a few are real good and the majority are average or slightly above average. Production is decent but nothing real special. Nova & Info do 4 songs, Mr. Lee does 2, and Maj & Sosa, Drew, Q Stone, Mike Dean, Sean T, Mr. Rogers, Nitti and Platinum Hands all do 1 song.

#8 - 9 (f/ L. Boogie - deeper song with nice beat)

"About as good as Restless. A few tracks to ride to, some club beat tracks, & then some great deep tracks. Huge bass in the trunk if thats what your into. I was a little shocked that there wasn't a track with Z-Ro, UGK, or Billy Cook, but he still delivers. Still a great album to own."
