  The much anticipated album by Project Pat has finally arrived and its been worth the wait.

  "Still Ridin Clean" is the first track and it has real nice production with an underground feel to it, and the chorus is real tight also.   Project Pat comes with 2 tight verses followed by a verse from Juicy J.

  "Fight" is a song which will cause some fights off in the clubs because of its hypeness, DJ Paul handles the chorus lettin everybody know 'We Gonna Fight Up In This Bitch"

  Up next is one of the best songs by Project Pat in a while, "Weak Niggaz" features DJ Paul & it has a real eerie feel to it, the beat is mainly made up from a piano, its kinda on a halloween tip. It sounds like the type of song that would fit in real well with some of their older tracks from the 'Mystic Stylez' days. The chorus is sampled from Project Pat's own vocals, thats something that 666 is infamous for and they should do it more often. DJ Paul lets his foes know that he's expanding his horizons: "I'm sick and tired of dissin you hoes on these cd's, I'm bout to start dissin you hoes on my DVD's" Project Pat has a few verses on this track and delivers with his patent flow.

  "Choose U" samples its beat from an old Willie Hutch track with the same title, this is some pimpin shit, its a long standing tradition in Memphis underground to flip an old soul track into some new shit. Project Pat has some tight lyrics to this song, basically talkin bad about hoes and some other daily problems that he's faced with.

  "Smokin Out" is a track to cheef too, its a real slow track with a real tight beat. Its a little bit on the reggae tip and the whole song is about smokin, this song will grow on you a little bit cause its pretty bumpin. Lord Infamous drops some lyrics on this song similar to how he did on "Where's Da Bud" except no twistin at all in it.

  "This Pimp" is a song all about pimpin, it's got a real bumpin beat to it and just as nice is the bassline.  The chorus sounds like it was inspired by the Neptunes, but it fits in nice with the track.

  The beat from Halloween is used for "On Nigga" they change it up a little bit though, so it doesnt sound like the million other songs out there using it.  This song is about niggas who's 'on' (doin it....aka done got money from the dope game, sittin on some ki's, etc)  This is a nice song and the Patsta comes nice throughout it.

  Up next is "That Drank" the beat is real slow, it aint screwed (maybe a little bit), anyway its slow as hell and tight as hell.  The subject of this song is syrup and gettin fucked up from it. 

  Well you know every album they got to have a posse song and this album is no different, actually the song is called "Posse Song" and I think its one of the better posse songs that they have done in a while, of course 'mafia' is repeated in the background, the difference between this song and the other posse tracks is that its slower.  Project Pat starts it out, followed by Crunchy Blac.  DJ Paul is up next and drops this: 'I'm bout to crash into you suckas like the World Trade, I'm ridin Green Escalade, full of Green Grenades, You hoes always hollerin that we be some bitches and shit, but everytime I turn around you got our name on your shit, I used to be with them, Mane I'm still with them, you wish you was with them, How the fuck you hate them, when you always claimin them?'  Following Paul is La Chat, Lord Infamous, Juicy J & Frayser Boy.

  "Take Da Charge" is a real slow song, its about a ghetto type broad who will take the charge for you if you get in some trouble with the law. The beat to this song sounds like it should be an R&B song about love, its not Project Pat.

  They got a little bit too corny on "County Jail" It seems like they didnt even try on this track, the chorus is enough to skip the track 'I dont want to go to county jail, no more more more, its a big fat policeman at my door door door, he gon snatch you by your collar, make you pay a dollar, I dont wanna go to county jail no more more more' Project Pat ribbits in this song and bock bock's like a chicken. Mane.

  "I'm Mo" features Lord Infamous and his verse is well below his caliber, it seems like getting a major label deal decreased Lord Infamous' incredible talent. Up next is Project Pat and his verse is pretty tight, its not his choppy delivery, its his real flow. Following Pat is DJ Paul who has a nice verse, Frayser Boy closes out the song.

  Some other nice tracks include "90 Days" & "Show Them Golds" which features some tight verses by DJ Paul & Juicy J.  "Make That Azz Clap" features Juvenile, but falls short from being that tight.

This is definately one of Project Pat's best albums, it may even be his best.  If you pick this up early enough you can get the bonus Hypnotize Minds CD which only contains 4 songs, including "North North 2" by Juicy J, "You Scared" by DJ Paul, a nice song by their new artist Lil Wyte called "Crash The Club" and a song by Frayser Boy called "Write A Check"
