If you’re a Boosie fan, this album will be your favorite album of the year period. “Mercy On My Soul” and “Black Heaven” have airy beats that give us more of an introspective vibe accompanied by Boosie’s thought provoking lyrics. Other songs like “On Deck” and “Retaliation” gives us that aggressive production that comes along with an aggressive Boosie in killer mode. Songs like “Drop Top Music” and “On That Level” give us that Louisiana production that Boosie likes to rap over. Actually this is one of Boosie’s best produced projects. The production compliments Boosie as well as his old production did. Cole’s verse is done in singing form, but it is still as effective as if he would have rapped it. “Black Heaven” features 2 Coles, Keyshia and Jermaine(J. Boosie plays off of all of his features, never a feeling of him being outshined. He has a lot of features on the album but every feature blends in perfectly with each song. On “Black Heaven” he raps about the African American legends that have passed away, and on “Hands Up” he raps about the police violence incidents in America. His subject matter and content is still as real as ever, On “Hip Hop Hooray,” he raps about Rappers portraying fake lifestyles in their music. Everything he says is done in such an honest manner that you can’t help but feel it. Both of those traits are shown heavily on this album but especially on “Window Of My Eyes.” His raw and uncut lyrics are delivered with that same fire that we’re used to from the old Boosie. If you’re familiar with Boosie, then you know that his lyrics are vivid and true to what he’s going though in life. This same style continued throughout the album. All of his words hit HARD, and his delivery is just fiery. Boosie has never been a super lyrical guy, but his rapping style is so in your face that it can not be denied. You can tell he’s back in raw form from the jump. The album starts off with Boosie SNAPPING. Raw lyrics, true emotion, substance, aggressive delivery It’s all there. Well there is no fear of that AT ALL on Touchdown 2 Cause Hell. Critics feared that he had lost some of his edge due to a much less aggressive Boosie on Life After Death Row. After getting mixed reviews to his first release after being freed from prison, “Life After Death Row,” Boosie has delivered to the highest extent. Boosie’s new album has finally touched down, and this one scored big time.
