The Deal: Indie rapper, producer combo release a follow up to 2008's acclaimed album, The In Crowd.

The Good: Double O produced or co-produced every track and really experimented with some of his beats. Much like their last album, there are some under the radar guest features, The Kid Daytona & Chip The Ripper, who should be hip-hop household names in the coming years. Really enjoyed the bulk of the album with "L_O_V_E", "Flickin'" and "Take Over The World" (co-produced by Just Blaze) really standing out to me. Don't sleep on "Fresh Academy" or "Bougie Girls" either.

The Bad: Not a whole lot. Wasn't feeling the Outkast on the "I Am (Reprise)" but even that wasn't major. Don't know how radio will receive "Jukebox" as a lead single but I love MC Lyte nonetheless.

The Verdict: Not nearly as young and upbeat as previous projects but definitely a solid step toward rap maturity. You see Naledge's flow get a bit older and Double O's beats leap forward, it kinda makes you hungry to hear more.
