In all honesty, before I read TC’s review, I was unaware that Mack 10 even released an album this year. Considering my affinity for Westside Connection and all of its members, I found this troubling. Especially since his record label is also home to two of the most prominent figures in Hip-Hop today in Lil’ Wayne and Drake.
While I have yet to soak in the entire project, the Dow Jones produced “Hoo-Bangin’ II” has definitely sparked my interest and moved it up a few spots in my queue. The LA native finds himself teaming up with newcomer and label-mate Glasses Malone to spit some West Coast game for the uninitiated. Dao provides him with the same combination of smooth bass, well-placed piano keys and slick drums that you would expect out of one half of Tha Bizness.

That fitted is hella hoard
G. Malone doesn’t get the same shine as some of the other rookies out West, but I think he’s gonna be just as vital to a West Coast resurgence as Crooked, Nipsey, Terrace, Jay Rock, and all of the rest of the “New West” cats.
