This is an excellent album. It's a classic in my eyes. Only song I don't like is that Pimpin song (just aint my type of song), but the rest of the album is bumpin. I love Shyna singing on the choruses. She got a great voice. All I can say is maaaaaayn! Great album. I look forward to his next one that he working on now.

Still waiting for Dougie D to drop a real album, and not flowing over other people's beats. One of my favorite songs on this album of Trae's is "Strugglin" featuring Dougie D and Shyna (on the chorus).

Trae drops a classic solo album here for his 1st solo (as far as I know). I have 4 of his solo's and 1 of his mixtapes and and ABN album, and all are good (also have another solo & ABN album that I haven't listened to yet. This is his 2nd solo classic (with 2009's "The Beginning"), I'd give his 2006 "Restless" 4.5 and his 2007 -"Life Goes On" & his "Tha Truth Show" mixtape both 4 stars and his ABN album with Z-Ro "It Is What It Is" 4.5 stars as well; so it's easy to see the man make good or great albums at a consistant basis. This one has 15 songs, 4 are near classic material, 1 is ok, the other 10 are good or real good songs. Guests are heavy, on every song except 1, so you don't get as much of Trae as you might like, but nevertheless the guests hold down their spots well. No production credits are given, but it is handled nicely. As always he has alot of deeper more personal songs, which him and Z-Ro always do so well. A must have album from a slept on southern MC.

This is definitely Trae's best work. He's one of the best artists from Texas. 01-Losing Composure, 10-Still On Da Southside and 14-Strugglin. Check these tracks out.

If you are in the zone and need an escape then this is something you should be listening to. this cd puts me in groove just makes wanna kick back put my feet up and chill, good cd to bump in your whip or at a party. my personal opinion is that trae has always put out a hard cd much like his kinfolk z-ro. i also recommend k-rino cds if you want lyricism of astronomical proportions.

Trae always an ABN - also check out Smoke Sessions, Vol. 1- from his homie Devin the Dude another 5 Stars.

This album by trae has to one of the best rap albums ive heard in 2003.

Trae puts together a near perfect album using excellet beats and nice vocals to put together an amazingly good album. Although this album isn't one of the most gangster albums ive ever heard, yet it keeps me feelin every song on the album without really having to skip around through tracks.

Will someone please get Trae a good record deal so i can hear some more of his music.

This album is a must for almost anyone who likes rap music.

TRAE IS DOING HIS THING FOR US ON THE SOUTHSIDE OF H-TOWN. THE SONG TO BANG IN YO SLAB IS STRESSIN ME, DAYS OF MY LIFE, LETTER, ON THE SOUTHSIDE, BACK IN THE DAY, PIMPIN, AND OH NO FEATURING PAUL WALL AND CHAMILLION. BILLY COOK IS ALSO ON THE ALBUM. SO IF YOU LIKE HOUSTON MUSIC OR TEXAS MUSIC BUY THIS CD. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE TO GET OTHER TEXAS MUSIC EMAIL THIS PIMP AT PLATINUMGRILL15@YAHOO.COM
