Big Mike Album: “Hard to Hit”

This album by Big Mike is his best work since Something Serious. He, along with Scarface, have been the best rappers on Rap A Lot label. But once again this album will go with out notice if you don't live in the south. But make no mistake about, if you like hard core rap, this is a must buy.

Having read of this album in various hip-hop publications, it was quickly brought to my attention that this new album from Big Mike was a must needed addition to my album collection. For those of you gangsta rap fans, this album is one that must not be missed, yet i believe it an album many will missed. Big Mike will get no air time, and along with other quality Rap-O-Lot albums, (i.e. Tela "Never Again") will go unnoticed by those that are not avid hip-hop fans. The only downside to this album is that the beats are tired. They are rather monotonous, and it is as if one can picture the next tracks beat before it happens. However, Big Mikes clever rhyme schemes and the fact that he is blessed with a roughneck voice. This album is solid, and deserves some attention. Will you give it any???

The hardest hit on here is track 15 "How You Want It" featuring Outlawz & Grudge. Admittingly I've heard better from the ex Geto Boys member on his first solo Somethin' Serious. I use this to let it beat in my trunk. I hate to be so down on Big Mike, but some of the production seems unfinished and or too much like they were being rushed. His lyrics come to the rescue with "Heads Like Us" and "Better Now" featuring Devin & MC Breed. Enough playing get that Big Mike Somethin' Serious, because it is.
