Unlike their
Come Smoke with Us
set, which jammed three
Southsider Smokeout
volumes into one box,
Naturally Kushed Out
(and how does that even happen?) jams two compilations from the
Hi Power
label, along with one instrumental disc, into a box, and you're not even guaranteed that these songs are about weed. It makes more sense when you realize the set is a souvenir of a t-shirt collaboration that features the high-grade cover art on high-grade cotton, but label stars
Mr. Capone-E
and
Lil Flip
dominate the first disc, so returning fans get their instant fix of Latin rap and West Coast gangster music with some star power, with lesser-known names like
Scrappy-Loco
Malow Mac
saved for disc number three. Then, there's the bonus fourth disc which is a back-catalog release from the
label chosen at random, so get it at the right price, and this scattershot set is like Christmas, with blunts, candy paint, and
Capone-E
all stuffing your stocking. Newcomers and East Coast loyalists should proceed with caution. ~ David Jeffries
