When i
first saw this album I was wondering who is he?
But from being a listener of all Down South rap i
figured it out fast. From being featured on the
T-Rock "Conspiracy Theory" album II Tone released
his first solo album "In Too Deep". It's time for
some new underground kings from Memphis to shine.
From what I heard about this cat he use to be down
with Three 6 mafia thats how him and T-Rock got
together. The cds where produced by the same cat
so lets get in to the album.
The album starts off with intro called "Just Gettin' Started"
when he tell about his return from the underground
to his first cd. Just somethin to put u up on his
history..
"What I Like" is the first song its has a club feel to it a
classic Memphis song. This song is about drugs so
I guess thats what he like!! But all in all this
is a tight ass song...
"No Remorse Pt. 2" features Da Crime Click, it starts off wit
the sounds of someone runnin' for there life, an
then the bass drops to the sounds of violins. The
songs is out the frame wit a hook thats lets
everyone know where hes from: No Remorse its live
or die killaz from da southside / when u see my
click ridin' thou loc'ed out you better run and
hide / busta boyz talkin' noise claimin' dat they
can't see me / Bizitch you ain't nizow hizow dat
im str 8 from tennessee... "Back It Up" is a strip club song where he and
Miss T. go at it over a tight ass track. When I
first heard this song I was like is that "GANGSTA
BOO" so 4 sho Miss T. can hold her own. This is a
song strip clubs will love from Memphis to tha
A-Town...
"Money Brings Power" features T-Rock and Kingpin Skinny Pimp.
This song has a killer track and II Tone shows he
can hold his on wit the big boys. T-Rock has the
second verse wit skinny at the end.
The next track is called "America" its talks bout the events
on Sept. 11, 2001. Hes off the chain on this one.
The delivery on and the lyric are tight as hell..
"Down South Regime" is the posse song that has the same
artist on its from the "International Terrorist"
(from the T-Rock Conspiracy Theory album) posee
song but the beat is more up tempo somethin to get
crunk 2...
"Here I Am" is a str 8 gangsta song where II Tone is going
off tellin' people if u want some come and get it.
This is another great song.
"Come Get High" is a more layed back track somethin' u can
smoke and ride to. While you blazing a blunt of
dro u can ride and get high to this.
The Outro is called "It Ain't Over" but i thought it was.
This album has 2 hiden tracks. Wit the track from
T-Rock's Intro II Tone, J Love, and Miss T puts it
down. The second hiden track is called
"Gunclaps" it features Da Crime-Click its a tight
song reppin all cites across the south.
II Tone has one of the best albums to come out of Memphis in
long time just a matter of whos listening. Im just
glad to hear somebody other than Three 6 puttin'
it down from Memphis and sounding good. The
production on the album was tight and II Tone
showed the world his skills so hopefully we will
get to hear more from this artist. The album has
been picked up and distributed by select-o-hits
the same company that deals with Three 6 so
everybody this is a album worth gettin... |
