   "Third World: The Compilation" is the fifth release from South Coast Coalition. Representing Baton Rouge City, South Coast Coalition has been puttin down in the rap game since 1991. They took numerous roles on the new release by coordinating, financing, recording, mixing, and even promoting "Third World: The Compilation". The Compilation is a very strong album from start to finish. It features the following Louisiana superstars: Soulja Slim (No Limit), Max Minelli (Big Truck Records), Lil Boosie (Concentration Camp), Beelow (Ballin Records), X-Conn (No Limit), T-Bo (TRU Records), J-Von (Concentration Camp), Thug Addict (Ballin Records), Box & Royale (Most Wanted Empire), Emperah Nero (aka MC Nero), Sam I Am, Mookie, Witness, Mike Da Hustla and more.

  "Down Here" features Max Minelli, Soulja Slim, T-Bo, South Coast Coalition and Mookie. On the first verse, Max Minelli brings the heat as usual. This is a great combination of rappers and remains consistent throughout the song. Great track to start off the album. Its one of the top 3 on the album.

  "Trippin" has Thug Addict and Beelow together once again. Thug Addict's verse is average for him, but Beelow drops one of his tightest verses to date. Sam I Am has the tightest verse on the track to finish it off.

  "Make It Happen" is super tight with Boosie sounding much older and more grown up on this song. (I think everyone is ready for a new Boosie album) After Boosie's verse, Mookie drops a tight hook and an even tighter verse that keeps you nodding to the beat. How do you follow after Boosie? Don't know, but give Mookie his props.

  "Do Dat Then" may be the tightest song on the album. South Coast Coalition and Mookie really brought it on this one. The hook is catchy and may pop off real well, and the verses stick to the theme. The beat might be favorite on the album, too. I think this one is radio material.

  "Chopper" could of been the tightest song on the album. The first 2 verses ,the hook, and the beat are as cold as can get, but the rest of the song is a slight drop off. T-Bo always adds hype to go with the beat.

"Range Rover" is a real laid back song. It talks about struggling in life and wishing to make it big. It is a solo song by Mookie, and he really shows his versatility. Could this be the next young talent to come out of the South?

  "Throwed in Da Game" features T-Bo and Max Minelli, and the 2 different styles compliment each other very well. T-Bo brings a ton of energy and Max's flips his flow to change up the pace.

  "White Boys - Remix" has more then 4 white rappers on one TIGHT track. I am not saying that Eminem and Bubba Sparxxx have met their match, but you may never find a whole click tighter then these boys.

  The first half is strong and keeps the album rollin hard.. The tracks I didn't feel were "Baller's Anthem", "One Shot", and "Mynded Boys". "Baller's Anthem" sounded like they were trying to ball like the Big Tymers a little too much. "One Shot" isn't a song that will pop off Down South, but it has a decent hook.

  Out of 19 songs, there are only 3 that I skip and 4 others that are average. That leaves "Third World: The Compilation" with 12 super tight songs. It is hard to get that much rotation out of any CD. The production team also deserves credit for plenty of tight beats. I noticed that Clever and Chaotic supplied half of the tracks. I also give credit to South Coast Coalition for putting together an all star lineup and matching up artists with the right beats. In summary, "Third World" is a MUST BUY.
