The production done be Happy P, Clever Soundz, Kojack, John Bass, Sho Down, Rusty Sanders, Derick Patterson, AV was a step up from the previous compilation. They mixed it up quite a bit on this album they had a lot of different feels on the beats not so one dimensional as some of the beats on the previous one. After the first compilation being such a success they drop another one in less than a year which can be considered a good accomplishment. They keep it on the same note as the previous album with guest spots, only surprise was Sean Paul from the Young Bloodz who made a appearance on the remix of “Down Here”. They hit you with a lot of them struggle type tracks once again, the pain of living everyday life trying to make it to just some hustle on the block making that dollar to keep food on the table. The SCC camp has some potential they got a good little roster together and showcased some of their talents on this and that last Third World Compilation’s. Everyone in their camp has their own type of flow they don’t try to sound like one another and they all hold their own in their own way. Overall a nice step up it shows that they are progressing from one album to another, lots of Louisiana stars as well as some up and coming ones all throughout this second installment of the Third World compilation‘s.
