Z-Ro is back at it again with COCAINE after last years equally great CRACK. Z-Ro is possibly the most slept on rapper of all time. No doubt about it Z-Ro deserves to be mentioned with other hip hop legends from the south like Scarface, UGK, Outkast, Trick Daddy etc. He releases some of the most heartfelt, honest lyrics the game has witnessed. I like to call Z-Ro the Bobby Womack of hip hop music. He injects so much soul and personality into his music and makes you feel exactly what he is saying and it would be a rarity that you wouldn't relate to his lyrics in some way.

Z-Ro effortlessly switches from rapping and harmonizing giving the songs an instantly likable quality. The beats are vintage COUNTRY RAP TUNES as the late great Pimp C would put it. Excellently produced with a down to earth quality desperately needed in the game right now. Nothing is over the top.

Z-Ro (or Rap-A-Lot maybe?) released this album very quietly. I like to stay up on my internet game and knowing when stuff comes out and things of that nature but I literally didn't know about this album until the day before it was released in stores. Then when I got to BB I had to search hard to even find the album (even though the Triple C's album was in plain sight). It's also not too much information about the album except of course that it's a new Z-Ro album. That is a shame because Z-Ro should be a star/household name by now...easily and people should at least know when his albums are released.

The album is a great listen straight through though and although every song is good the ones that standout are One Two, Don't Worry About Mine, Bottom To The Top, Can't Leave Drank Alone, Doing Just Fine, Haters Got Me Wrong, and On My Grind.

This is a must have album if you're a fan of hip hop music, down south music or just good music period. 5 stars.

This is the best z-ro album and that's saying alot because z-ro have never disappointed me. On this album Ro shows his versatility in being able to rap, hook&sang, reggae, and we all know he can rap, beyond that this man is the most unappreciated not just rapper but artist of all time. I hope my ni**a can finally reap the benefits of great music.

This is one of the few cds that i've bought this year that i didnt listen to first but bought anyway and didnt get disappointed with. one of the others was his other disc I'm still living. i highly recommend this work to anyboby. i got my brother up in nashville bumping it. the production is mostly handled by Ro himself. my favorite tracks are cant leave drank alone, hataz got me wrong, but, dont worry about mine. buy it!!!!!!!!! and get it from best buy like i did and not from them cats at timmy chan.

Z-Ro returns again with yet another great album. I have 9 of his solo's and 3 group albums of his and all are very good to classic albums. I'd give three 5 stars ("King Of The Ghetto" - 2001, and "Life of Joseph McVey" - 2004) and this one. Four I'd give 4.5 stars ("Z-Ro vs. the World" - 2000, "Let The Truth Be Told" - 2005, and his 2 ABN albums with Trae ("ABN" - 2005 & "It Is What it Is" - 2008). The rest I'd give 4 stars to: ("I'm Still Livin" - 2006, "KOTG: Power" - 2007, "Crack" - 2008, "Z-Ro" - 2002, and his "Kings of the South" album with Lil Flip - 2005). As always he has some deep and personal songs on here and a few more street songs and one or 2 upbeat more positive songs. Of the 17 on here, 2 are classics, 2 are almost classics, 1 is ok, the other 12 are good or great songs. Guests are on 8 of the 17 songs and all are fellow southerners. Production is great as well. Z-Ro does 11 songs, Bigg Tyme does 3, Big E does 2,a nd Beanz & Kornbread do 1. A must have album from one of the best to touch the mic, not just out of the south but ever.

Z-Ro is the most underrated in the game. Even if you are not a fan just listen to Z-Ro spit that real rap. Lil Flip killed it on his features and just like "Crack" his last LP proved Z-Ro is the truth!!! He has the south's underground music scene on lock!!!!

WEATHER YOU ARE A Z-RO FAN OR NOT THIS CD WON'T LET YOU DOWN. FIRE FROM BEGINNING TO THE END. NO DIFFENT FROM HIS OTHER RELEASES. TIGHT LYRICS, HOOKS AND BEATS. LOOK OUT FOR HIS OTHER NEW CD HEROIN TO BE RELEASED ON NOVEMBER 24TH, 2009.

I could not stop listening to this album,hooked on it.
One of the best Z-RO albums ever,I love this album because you can listen to it from start to finish,and Z-ro kills it every time he does the hooks.

My definition of a classic album is one that u can pop in and listen to it all way thru without wanting to hit the skip button, and this is that kind of album. This could b Ro's best album and all the featured guest really bring their A-game, when I got this album I listened to it over and over so many times and for so many weeks , never got tired of it , I can't remember the last time I was so into an album!



5 star album of the day
ABN , It Is What It Is

I put the album in my ipod. And never took it out of rotation for two straight months. This was the only album I jammed. Too many rappers nowadays go for punchlines, while others go too deep you can't even understand what they talking about. Z-Ro has the perfect medium. He tells heartfelt lyrics that you can relate and vibe to.

Pimp C said it best, this is "Country Rap Tunes" at its best. The singing and harmonizing on Haterz Got Me Wrong and Don't Worry Bout Mine are too playa. The Intro was straight fire, "Plus i use to really love basketball; defense dribbling shooting dunking, did it all; that was my dream; until the day I got shot and could no longer play with the team; that's what I get for trying to take a Rolex and a gold ring". Hahaaaa, he came too real on the intro. But their so many good songs on here, I be here forever trying to talk about it. Just go out and cop it and support the greatest rapper doing it
