About the album

B.G.'s rapping skills made money for the Cash Money label before he was a teenager. On 2004's Life after Cash Money, B.G. shows easy vocals gliding over magnificent Dirty South beats. He is no longer affiliated with the record company with which he was practically synonymous in the 1990s (this is his second record for Koch Records).

Like many rappers in the southern states, B.G. blends a sense of humor with a darker worldview, and occasionally leans towards the violent landscapes of the Geto Boys. On the anthemic "Factory." B.G. displays his prowess in lyrical potency while throwing in a reference to his past on "My World I Want It.'" He also proves he can change gears effectively on the semi-lewd, 1970s-inspired, funk-infused ballad "Bust a Move."
