Young Bleed's follow up to his consistent debut, 'All I Have In the World, Are... My Balls and My Word', begins really well with the good opening two tracks being quite different from one another offering variety. In all of my playthroughs of this, I come away with the same feeling though; which is that the album falls away. 'No Disrespect' is the first to drag on. Then 'Give and Take' doesn't do enough and 'Bounce, Mob, Skate' gets boring too. The song shows no differentiation between the verses and the chorus, and the chorus lacks energy. As is often the case with hip hop albums, the final track is more of an introspective/conscious song with some nicely sung vocals making it the best of the second half. Best Tracks: Bless Em' All, I Couldn't C' It, A Husla', My Own

This is another worthy album produced by Televangel. MILC and the features ride the beats well enough., but as I've said before, it would, and would've, been amazing if he/Blue Sky Black Death worked with rappers at the top of the tree and with more of an x-factor. It's a highly consistent album. If I was to rate each song, they'd all be hovering around that 70-80/100 mark which made it a challenge to choose the best tracks. I just think the ones below have a bit more energy to them. There isn't a WOW song to make me come back to this though.

This is surprisingly consistent. It starts off bangin' and while the first third is the strongest, it's pretty much all enjoyable music. 'Let Them Things Go' and the closing track, 'Terror Era', are the only average moments. The Pun and Big L featured song 'Bring 'Em Back' is somewhat of a let down given the talent on it as the instrumentation isn't strong. I laughed out loud at Joe trying to jokingly imitate the GOAT R. Kelly's "Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh" vocals from 'Down Low' on the opening song. Beats: ★★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★★ Hooks: ★★★ Best Tracks: Nothing's Gonna Stop Me, Hum Drum, Lean Back, Yes Dem To Def

This is pretty good with the first half a dozen songs being quite strong with a couple of bangers in the mix. It drops off a degree with 'Cherry Blossom', and 'Let's Get to It (Remix)' but they're still worth a listen. The biggest flaw with Bun B is the repetition in his lyrics at times ("woodgrain"/"UGK for life", etc), but he still does everything else well as a rapper.

This is an easy 3.5/5 and better than AJ's and Televangel's other collaboration, 'Metatron’s Cube'. Why Televangel/Blue Sky Black Death has never worked with mainstream, tier-A rappers has baffled me for a long time. His efforts on the boards here increase that baffled mindstate. There are lots of different styles here and AJ comes with a variety of flows with some noteworthy bars.
