Big Tymers, the richest duo in the industry is back with their 4th album "Hood Rich" featuring production by Mannie Fresh and a few tracks by Jazze Pha.

"Oh Yeah" has a bouncy hip-hop feel to it. This track features Boo & Gotti. Mannie Fresh raps first and his verse is about gettin a good girl and never doing her wrong, buying her ice and keepin her lookin nice, up next is Baby and he raps mostly about cars.

"Still Fly" is the first single off this album, I'm sure you've seen the video by now. The beat may be the best aspect about this song, Mannie Fresh produced a real nice track here. The chorus is very catchy and the verses are nice also, during the end of the song, they exchange bars with each other and that is the best part of this song.

"Sunny Day" is a real nice laid back track, I keep on waitin for Al Green to come in on it somewhere. This track was produced by the great Jazze Pha, one of the hottest producers out there right now. Its nice to hear some different production on a Cash Money album and he does a great job here. This song is mostly about stuntin during the sunny days.

Another track produced by Jazze Pha is "I'm Comin" this is also a very tight track, the beat is real, you can tell that Jazze Pha made this track 'cash money like' cause they flow on it perfectly. Mikkey, Gilly & T.Q. are featured on this track and they keep it tight throughout

"Gimme Some" almost sounds like an old G-Funk track, like something that Nate Dogg would sing on. The singing throughout this tracks starts to get a little annoying, finally about 2 minutes into the track Mannie Fresh comes with a verse, but its too late to save the song.

"Get High" has a tight as hell beat to it, it's half soul, half funk sounding. The chorus is done by Jazze Pha and its real nice. This song is all about gettin fucked up. This song is basically an R&B track, it would've been nice to her some rappin on this one.

"Put That Shit Up" definately is the most bangin track on the album, the beat is a true swanga and banga. This is some classic Cash Money type of shit, you'd love to hear more of this throughout their rosters' albums. This track features some of the newer Cash Money Millionaires, Lac & Stone. The concept of this song is get bigger and better shit for yourself. Turn your 16's into 22's, etc. Like the majority of this album, this track is filled with braggin about shit that no-one can relate to, but if thats what you like to hear, you'll love this track.

"Da Man" sounds too much like an R&B track to me, like much of this album its heavily laced with singin all in the song, most folks dont buy rap albums to hear R&B. Trick Daddy makes an appearance on this song and he comes with decent lyrics, talkin about gettin out the ghetto and supportin his fam.

"Lil Mama" has a real tight beat, this is the type of beat you hear and know that it came from New Orleans. This song is about females that need to stop being bad girls, they need to stop shakin it and go back to class and shit like that. Of course previously in the album, on a track called "Pimpin" they wanted hoes to get on the track and sell they pussy and make money for em, which is it?

This album is flooded with way too much singing, the beats of the album accompanied with that singing gives this album an incredibly mainstream feel to it, with absolutely no street appeal. The constant stuntin or bragging of their shit that no-one can relate to has gotten too old. This album does have some high moments with 4 or 5 tracks with real tight beats, especially Jazze Pha's, but thats about it. But, If you're Cash Money fan you will like this album and should pick it up. If you are looking for a street album, this aint it.
