5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh Take on Classic 80's Hits, October 17, 2008

By	Stony (Upper Marlboro, MD) - See all my reviews

First let me say that I might be slightly biased as a longtime Little Brother fan, that aside, this album is a nice breath of fresh air. It's not exactly Hip Hop but more R&B mixed with a little Pop and alot of people are going to rag on Phonte for only singing on this album and not rapping but I'll say that it's actually a somewhat solid effort this time. I liked how Phonte knew how to fall back a bit to give way to more powerful vocals of Darien Brockinton and Carlitta Durand. It's classic nostalgia for those in their late 20's and up. I also liked how Phonte let a litte bit of "Percy Miracles" out in this album. Give this album a listen and for pete's sake.. go head' and do "The Carlton" nobody's looking!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Throwback, February 25, 2009

By	C. Mcdaniel "Buddamilk" (So Cal, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great trip down memory lane me and my wife just sat back and took the ride. I am a huge little brother fan but this is a very good cover of most of the songs. Grab this quick because you can't find it anywhere!!! A must have for late 20's early 30's.
