Lately I've been checking out some underheard/lesser known hip hop acts through a kind of 5 degrees of separation thing and here I am with Partners-N-Crime who actually had impressive longevity dropping projects for 20 years from '94. And after being on some lesser known labels, here they land on Rap-A-Lot. Once you hit play I think 'Poo Shooter' will be the first song to make your ears prick up with it's unexpected chorus - "Shake that poo shooter." My ears also pricked up due to the reggae-esque production that I didn't expect after the title track. Elsewhere, there is lots of variety. As the title suggests, the first and titular song is a decent banger, and 'Ohhh' fits into that category as well being backed by electric guitars. 'You Ain't Never' brings in the R&B/pop rap feel and others toe the line between pop rap and street rap nicely. 'Do It Baby' gives off a Miami bass/2 Live Crew vibe. 'Love Jones'' picks up the soul and emotion, sampling 'Love Jones' by Brighter Side of Darkness. It would've been better to end the album with that than going back to a sex themed track with 'That's the Way' to close it out. In some of the recent albums I've checked out, I have wanted more variety in the production department, but I couldn't say that about this album. It's easy to differentiate between the tracks after a spin or two. I've saved a couple of songs to go back to and while there are some "meh" tracks, like 'My P.N.C', it's a fun enough album.
