The second part of 2005's double header, Turroe's solo album featuring a host of top choice MC's and skits, get yer lugoles roundun sharpish!!

REVIEW:

The second album is a Steve Gough (Turroe) solo project, with some of the best punchlines and one liners you're likely to hear this year in my opinion. Many times listening to this album I either cringed or laughed out loud because of the lyrical content, you kind of get the impression Steve Gough doesn't give a s*** who he offends and you can't help but admire that, not the most politically correct lyricist you're likely to hear, just check out the Michael Jackson mimic on 'Hate Bringin' for a perfect example of this. Vocally Turroe doesn't have the best flow or the greatest mic presence, but it is lyrically he shines, the beats, again, are well produced, not as uptempo as Monks album, but just as hard and well done.

The intro 'Still Startin S***' is well done, with a great track added onto it, "their raps are f***ing plastic, like Chucky and his bride on their wedding night" is just one of many great lines, the beat switch, again, is superb. 'I Write' is another lyrically superb track, with Steve getting deep and meaningful. 'Bring The Funk Back' is one of my favourite tracks on the album, with a funky guitar running through it and Steve dropping some of his trademark punches. Another standout production is 'Mucky Little Pups' featuring Junior Disprol with excellent plucking string bass running throughout it.

'Regional Reports' featuring Monk and Lews Tewns has a beat very similar to something Muggs would produce for Cypress Hill in my opinion, a mellow funky beat with the guys flowing over the top of it with ease. The best track on the album is last but one in my opinion, 'Breathe' featuring Monk and Rola with it's hard beats and funky guitars is an absolute banger, perhaps it's my love for the old school, but this is a great track with all rappers delivering perfect for the beat.

Overall it's a great album, not as uptempo as Monk's as I said earlier, but it's a completely different vibe, this is what I like about both albums overall, you have got two completely different albums from one group, Fat Club. Again, they have delivered a breath of fresh air into the UK scene, go get it and treat yourself to something completely different.
