 The Underground Kings are back and to prove they haven't lost a step. This veteran duo of Bun B and Pimp C come with a smooth LP titled "Dirty Money." These boys are some of the rawest you will find and the ill flows over the smooth production guarantees this album won't disappoint. Out of Port Arthur, Texas, UGK has gained a favorable reputation throughout the south with Bun B's low towed wordplay and Pimp C's silky delivery.

  The first four tracks are four of the albums best and set the stage for a southern baller's dream. "Let Me See It," "Choppin' Blades," "Look at Me," and "Ain't That A Bitch" are all smooth tracks with body rockin' choruses.

  "Let Me See It" has a beat that complements their styles perfectly. This four versed track is a UGK classic as Pimp C does the quick chorus and both rappers show their talent in their two verses.

  "Choppin Blades" is probably the hottest track on the album. Their tribute to chromed out rims is done to perfection and I always catch myself repeating the chorus in my head as Pimp C spits "Would I? Could I? Should I break em'?" over another perfect beat. The bassline makes this a real nice track to ride to.

"Look At Me" is another track with the same sound with Pimp C droppin another chorus. This is the kind of track where the brown bagged MD 20/20 and your faded mind will put you at a whole notha level. The beat is often scratched which makes the song sound even better.

  "Ain't That A Bitch" featuring Devin The Dude is a UGK anthem to those things that you will never understand. You don't understand why it happens so all you think is "ain't that a bitch." Bun B's opening line to his verse is one of the songs best, "I got a letter from the government the other day/I opened and read it/It said, 'fuck UGK' ." This is a real raw track and the slowest paced on the album.

  "Gold Grill" is a track which features the veteran southern duo of, Eightball & MJG. This track has both members of UGK doing the chorus but I would have liked to of seen this be another four versed track but it isn't. Although it is a little disappointing, it's still a solid track.

  "PA Nigga," "Holdin' Na," "Don't Say Shit." and "Take It Off" are some of the other average tracks on the album. The album's title track, "Dity Money" is a pretty tight track. This track has Bun B doin the chorus and it goes off pretty hard. It flows real well and it turns out to be a solid title track.

  "Pimpin' Ain't No Illusion" features Kool Ace and Too Short and is one of the best tracks towards the end of the album. This a real tight track and has a good beat for Too Short. The chorus is pretty quick but the verses slow down a little bit which is okay for a beat like this one. "Wood Wheel" is a real cool track and flows together real well.

  "Money Hoes & Power" features the smooth talkin So So Def CEO, Jermaine Dupri and is just okay. The beat isn't very attractive and is a hard song to get into but once you do you may really start to like it.

  This is a fourteen song album and doesn't really have any tracks that are definite skips. I was worried that UGK might stray from the style that I have always liked, but they didn't do that. The result has a pretty well rounded album with no real mistakes. These boys can still do it and it is proven on this great southern album. This album is hot and I recommend you scoop it up as soon as possible
