Them Firewater Boyz, Vol. 1

by Brad MillsDavid Banner comes correct with this album. Intelligent lyrics from start to finish, a developed lyrical delivery and some of the best beats heard from the south -- this album has it all. The first track suitably opens with fellow Crooked Lettaz partner Kamikaze featured on a slow thuggish gangsta track, and sets the mood for that raw Southern rap experience. Other notable tracks include "Twerk Something," "Trill," "Spazz Out" featuring Ras Kass, plus a surprising appearance by New York's Noreaga (from Capone N Noreaga) on "Firewater." One thing's for certain, with so many albums released in 2000, Banner had the right idea here by putting his heart and patience into his record to ensure its success -- his fans will certainly appreciate the extra effort.
