With the release of this six-track EP,
G-Unit
's return continued to roll out slowly but surely. Surely because the street-worthy music here is raw and scrappy enough to bring to mind the group's early years, especially the key track "Bring My Bottles," where founding member
Tony Yayo
takes the spotlight. The stark "Boy Boy" is classic
in its unapologetic lyrics ("I'm
L.A. Reid
with the dope, son/I'm
Jimmy Iovine
with the coke, son") while "Doper Than My Last One" is a solo
Lloyd Banks
cut now credited to the group, which was the way they used to do it back when
Radio mixtapes spilled out every bodega and gas station. ~ David Jeffries
