Who he is: a red-hot hip-hopper out of Houston, TX. What you get: inspirational lyrics for members of the street culture, some pumped-up braggadocio, a male chorus to back up MJG's raps, the usual cast of homies, pimps, bitches and playaz, a great bass line on "Shine and Recline," a cover of Stevie Wonder's "That Girl," a couple of skits, a guest appearance from Eightball and a generally fat, funky mix.
