T-Rock has been one of, if not my #1 find of the last 3-4 years in rap. In my eyes, his previous album was close to the perfect bangin' disc, with it earning 4.5/5, and not leaving the airways of my house for ages. However, to pull off a double-disc release such as this is difficult for anyone. You could almost count the number of excellent double-disc rap albums on one hand, with the rarity they are attempted proving how difficult it is to release a large collection of good songs. So out of 30 tracks, stretching almost 120 minutes, how many work? Well, after many spins of this, I can't say I get the urge to hit skip too often. Only 'Throw It Back', 'Hit Da Pole', and 'Ridin Fly' don't match the rest of the songs in quality. So how many are dope? Well, probably a good 8-10 could be placed in that category, with a number not being too far behind. While many are not 5/5 tracks, they aren't too far off. I say this with every long/double album and I'll say it again, I think you should ignore the few bits of filler when an artist gives you so many songs! I say this with pretty much any T-Rock music as well, if you like his previous output, you should find at least a handful of tracks to go back to on this. His topics include some brag rap ('F*ck Da World Sh*t'), making cash ('I Grind I Hustle'), weed ('Burn 1'/'I Blaze Up'), some gangster rap ('AK-47]'), coming up ('Now Dey love Me'), conscious rap ('Make It Happen'/It's a Trap'), and songs like 'Gift from God' show the more personal Rock, being about his son. So, there is a fair amount of variety here. For two hours the success rate here is great. The production T-Rock works with continues to get more crisp and varies just enough, and while it may be too much for others, if you enjoy hard southern beats with an extremely under-appreciated excellent flowin' rapper, cop this album.

This is another disc predominantly full of southern bangas from T-Rock who has had a busy 2011 with two albums, two collaborative releases and an EP. The other half of this album M.C. Mack (who was involved in signing T-Rock as a teenager), has been in the biz for well over a decade also, but is more of a general gangsta rapper and doesn't have the distinguishing swagga or speed on the mic of T-Rock. For a collab album there should be some more collaboration and switching up bars during the verses in my opinion, but it's pretty much just you do a verse, then I'll do one. Despite this, while lacking originality, The President & Da Undaboss is well worth checking out if you like anything affiliated with the Rock Solid family.

This album is apparently somewhat of a prelude album to 'Papers: Volume One', due out late this year/early 2013, and despite the title and release date, it is thankfully not an album full of stoner songs. Overall, this is slightly disappointing compared to his most recent albums that have been straight bangas. The beats aren't as strong in my opinion from beginning to end as we have had over the past few albums, and there are also a couple of rehashed tunes. 'I Don't Love You' is on 'I Grind, I Hustle', and 'Suited Up' was released on 'Slang & Serve II'. One other disappointment is that while T-Rock has finally got his fast-flowing compatriot Twista as a guest feature, it is on one the weakest poppy tracks here. I would have loved to hear them going toe-to-toe on a harder beat. In saying all of this, there are also still a number of great tunes such as the usual opening head bangin' tune 'Full Time', and the chick track 'Doin What Ya Doin' that T-Rock does quite well. After a few spins there is little that I don't get enjoyment out of from this dope lyricist, who is my favourite rapper currently rapping. Best Tracks: Full Time, Gutta Muzick, Doin What Ya Doin, Suited Up, Tears Drop, Git Me Started, I Don't Love You

A disappointing album from my favourite rapper currently doing it. There are only a few tracks among these that are really memorable. The opener 'Blast N Bail' is great where T-Rock asks for a gangster beat to ride to and then lines from 'Slang & Serve/ATL' play - one of his classic songs - that loops throughout the song. The next track is a lackluster tune, and while 'Full Throttle' is an improvement it can be hard to hear T-Rock on the first verse, followed by other rappers on the second and third because he is so much better than everyone else. The verses on the following 'Watch Me Juug', particularly the third verse is volcanic. T-Rock flows like a hot knife through butter and makes this one of the most worthwhile tracks here. Next there is a remix of 'I Just Might' that doesn't add much to one of the weaker songs from from his great album, I Grind, I Hustle'. 'Makin Easy Money' has some 1970s funk vibes and is a strong song. 'Wanna Be High' is another strong track that is followed by another remix, this time from 'Patriot Games'. Here there isn't another rapper, but the beat is different. The original is better though. The Rock Solid Mafia posse penultimate track is forgettable, and then the album finishes off with T-Rock telling us all about the upcoming music coming out from the label including his solo 'Papers: Volume One'. Overall this is pretty much hit or miss, with the pattern almost perfectly being good song, average song. Best Tracks: Blast N Bail, Watch Me Juug, Makin Easy Money, Wanna Be High

While it can be bought as a standalone album, this is basically a bonus disc that came with 'Papers' if you bought the CD version, so I didn't expect a lot. Most of the songs are worthy though. There are one or two with slight mastering issues like 'Campaign' for some reason and others that are on 'Still on My Hoody Hu$tle: The Executive Suite Edition', but the 'Gun and a Vest' remixes add to the version on Papers Vol One, and many others are just signature Rock with catchy hooks, hard beats and great rapping. The man keeps 'em coming. Best Tracks: Git Down or Lay Down (Remix), Holla at a Playa, Dat Check, Gun and a Vest (Original Version), Love How Dey Hate
