  The follow up to “Ashy To Classy” is here and with the single Sick Of Being Lonely them country ass boys showed us they want to be here to stay.

  The album starts with “K.A.N.” which is different from many other rappers songs. Hard to explain, wanna label this one, well label it Field Mob Rap – thatīs how it is! Takes a while to get used to em but hey thatīs just good. They are the type of group that can have you finding new elements of a song you love the 12th time you here it!

  “Nothing 2 Loose” is really good. They talk about how they wanna be free and all, you can feel the pain and the realness of the delivery all the way trough your body. Not sure who sing the chorus but the element he adds is perfect.

  “Donīt Want No Problems” is about fights in the club and stuff. They tell em leave me alone and so. They even handle the chorus they own, nothing special maybe but hey they sing the chorus – in their own way of course but still! Love this song, a mix of story telling and real life track!

  “Sick Of Being Lonely” is of course the single which Iīm sure most of you have already heard. “Iīm sick of being lonely/every night my man goes out with his homies/I wanna know how it feels to be loved” goes the chorus which are done by a beautiful singing lady. But not a famous one since they donīt give her credit in the liner notes… sure they wouldnīt done that if they had Mary J doing the chorus. Anyhow itīs a lovely lovely song! I will probably remember this song many years to come, itīs not just a quick hit - trust me!

  “Itīs Hell” is yet another high quality song. Real serious about the feeling you have when your future is in the hands of a judge that donīt know shit about you. One of those Freedom vs. Jail songs which almost never go wrong!

  “Haters” is not really that good - not “toilet flush bad” but just not that special to me! A often covered subject. You get Trick Daddy on here so thatīs probably the best thing about it. But if they paid to get Trick on the album they should have used him on maybe the single instead or “Itīs Hell” - well itīs their money and decision!

  “Betty Rocker” is kinda funny to me. Bouncy beat and delivery. One of them songs you easily will learn, could be the next single of the tape.

  “Cut Loose” is however the song I would pick as a second single I think, guitar laced beat. They talk about the old lady and her new man. This is a relationship angle many rappers donīt cover. Thatīs why I like it, itīs kind of fresh and a good beat!

  “All I Know” featuring Cee-Lo and T.I. is also laced with a guitar element. Now a few years ago the only time rappers used guitar in their beats was when they wanted to add a heavy metal element which almost always went straight in the pooper, now they have started to use the guitar in a better way. I have always loved piano in rap but now the guitar has come to be a new favorite element to rap beats for me. Just donīt go rock and youīre straight!

  A remix of the single ends the tape. I like both versions just as much, well to be honest the different ainīt that big. Trina raps a lil on the remix so maybe I like that a lil bit more since Iīm a Trina freak you know, hehe! I really liked the debut album and many of yall did to, so will you like em this time again? Well yeah – cause the second coming is a bit stronger I think, new fresh subjects and rhymes adds up to a 2002, not classic maybe but at least a 2002 heater - fo sure! Field Mob is here to stay!
