As you may have read, UGK 4 Life, has drawn largely rave reviews. This is to be expected for a sentimental favorite like the Underground Kingz, but the praise is warranted. Neck-and-neck with the Doom for my favorite rap release of the year, UGK’s last album manages to be the rare swan song essential for the music alone. Old man rap for the win.

Nice to see Ron Isley active again. Thanks for the recommendation.

i dunno, to me this kinda sounds like an album of “Underground Kingz” B-sides. it’s more listenable than Bun’s solo but then there’s no great beat like “Damn I’m Cold” on here where i feel like i have to listen to it again. a little too laid-back for its own good i think.

Not feeling it. Might need to spin it again.
