Bizzy Bone Album: “A Song For You [PA]”

I was completely floored when I heard this cd. From beginning to end Bizzy pours his emotions into this album. The beats are awesome...the lyrics are strong and make you really wanna listen to hear what he has to say...the messages are DEEP. I can play this cd from beginning to end with out skipping any tracks. He's done well for himself after leaving Bone. He isn't afraid to speak on his spirituality and praises the Lord at least one time on each track. I am truly impressed by this album. Please support it honestly and truthfully.

bizzy bones a song for you is problay the best most recent album that he has put out since "the gift" with the songs "memories","a song for you ft. dmx","real" and muddy waters to me makes it worth buying just for them songs not to metion help suport these artist instead of downloading the album of the net

Alright, I am gonna update the review that I wrote upon Bizzy's new release "A Song for You" just recently dropped in stores a couple of weeks ago. In the last review, I touhced on that Bizzy has dropped many albums since his departure from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony in 2005; some have been mediocre and some albums have shown glimpses of shine, i.e. Midwest Cowboy & Ruthless & Trials & Tribulations. However, fans all can agree with me when I about to say this -- these albums were superb because of decent production while the others were crappy cuz the production did not compliment the rhyming abilities of Bizzy.

"A Song for You" tends to bring it back to his first two strong albums "Heaven'z Movie" & "The Gift". However, his lyrical ability, speed, harmony & concepts all have changed for the better and have been perfected as time went by. Each track brings something to the table and brings the album to the top:

1. A Song for You - A beautiful song with the help of DMX & a new comer, Chris Notez; deep emotional lyrics with Notez' singing the hook & bridge.

2. I'm the One - A hard but catchy track with Joel Madden from Good Charolette while his brother Benji playes the background guitar. Great lyrics from Bizzy. A good single if possible...

3. Muddy Waters - A deep and personal track, in which he touched up upon his experience of his tirbulant times with Bone & other trials & tribulations that many people can relate to.

4. Money - A strong single that features Twista and a heavy production that just fuels the track. Catchy for anybody and could be a club song...

5. What Have I Learned - Another personal song that Bizzy excels lyrically and shows his range. Production is remarkable and something coming out of left field for Bizzy to rhyme on...nastolgic memories for Heaven'z Movie.

6. Mercy Mary - A spiritual record with a blues-rooted instrumental and a good harmonize Bizzy & ranging his speed for rhyming...sometimes at parts were too fast for someone to sing along but enjoyful.

7. I Truel Believe - Similar to "Mercy Mary", another spiritual record that is more like an R&B-style instrumental with more harmonizing from Bizzy...

8. Ballin' - Like the earlier tracks, another good club banger with an unlikely guest appearance from Jim Jones with a Houston-style production, you know the chopped & screwed style of Houston. It is unlikely combination cuz of Bizzy's speed meshing with Jim Jones' slow style...but nevertheless a good record.

9. I Need You - This is by far the most remarkable record with some doo-wop sampling, singing and harmonizing from background vocals and Bizzy. Bizzy opens up and discuss his wanting his back his family while a good piano plays behind him; something that the 'ol Bizzy would have not done in the past. Good risk taking.

10. Hard Times - Its a catchy instrumental with Bizzy rhyming and reminising times with his family, friends & Bone while Chris Notez shows his range of singing. Still don't know who the other rapper is on the track (maybe Capo R.I.P.)...Another great track that grew on me.

11. Memories - A slower track but another great production & Bizzy slows up his pace and rhymes a great rhyme of his love towards his people that help him pave the way to where he is...Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. The only downfall of the track is the commentary, maybe if they cleaned it up it would be great. Other than that, great track.

12. Real - A freestyle from Bizzy and shows his range but its the ok record on the album...

Overall, I have to give it a five star than a four star cuz the album grew on me. Bizzy should gain back the respect and reputation that he deserves. Hopefully he found his nitch and stick with it. Go out and pick up this album & you won't be disappointed.

Possibly Bizzy's best album! Great production great beats, great features, great lyricism. A more polished album with a more commercial sound but sounds Great.

I dont have all, but I have most of Bizzys many solo albums. This is hands down my favorite. The album is solid from start to finish. It seems like there was more time and possibly money put into making this album than some of his others. The production and audio quality is good. And Bizzy is on top of his game as far as rapping and singing. The lightening quick flow that was missing for a while is back on this album. So if you are a Bizzy fan, even if you were disappointed with some of this previous albums (or newer ones!), I recommend A Song For You. His best solo work.
