4.0 out of 5 stars Lost Boyz- Forever, July 4, 2005

This review is from: Forever (Audio CD)

Lost Boyz fourth album "Forever" (2005) quietly slipped under the vast majority of music fans radar's two weeks back and is bound to be slept on. With Freaky Tah dead (R.I.P.), and Spigg Nice serving a long jail sentence, I really did not expect to see another album from this group. Mr. Cheeks and Pretty Lou have made it happen though with some help from Slumlordaz, Jason, Van Dam, Ob the Cat, PMD, Lil Razz, Netty, Ruler Divine and Queen Josephine. Unreleased material from Spigg Nice and Freaky Tah is included in this release. Also included are classics "Jeep, Lex Coups, Bimaz & Benz" and "Renee".

The album starts off with the Lost Boyz letting it be known on the intro that they are still holding it down strong ten years later. LB delivers an original track right off the bat with "Not a Test". A hungry sounding Mr. Cheeks leads the way on "Spit Flow" doing exactly that while talking about where LB's been. Slumlordaz and Jason make the album first guest appearances on "Shine Em Up". One of my early favorites is "Make Music", backed by a sad beat, Mr. Cheeks shines while reminiscing about days past and where Lost Boyz are at now. Another standout is the deep "Keep Ridin'", Freaky Tah's death is remembered, and the Lost Boyz promise to keep on going. Ob the Cat and Van Dam then drop in for the laidback "Basically", which is followed by the classic "Jeep, Lex Coups, Bimaz & Benz". "Still A Winner" and "I'm Coming" are decent tracks about the ladies. Some average guest appearances follow, and then the Lost Boyz shine again with two more outstanding tracks in "My Way" feat. Jason and "All I Know" feat. Ruler Divine. One of the things I have always appreciated about the Lost Boyz is the way the deliver heartfelt music; they do it all throughout this release and especially on "U R My Love" feat. Queen Josephine. "Renee" is a true Lost Boyz classic and the perfect track to finish off this release. In comparison to they're past albums "Forever" is more laidback, and there's far less fast paced tracks (which fans may miss). The more I listen to this one though, the more I appreciate it, happy to see the Lost Boyz back at it, highly recommend fans of the group check this one out.
