Reviewed By: ULTIMATECDLINK
Album Rate: 4.00 out of 5 Stars
Undaground Sam is one of Memphis's up-and-coming rappers and he drops his 14 track solo debut on M.O.T.T. Entertainment. The album was produced by local producer Redzone.
Overall, I thought this album was pretty good. It's definitely got more content than most of the albums droppin outta Memphis these days. UG Sam also brings a little different style than what we usually think of as the stereotypical Memphis sound. The production was needed some work on some of the tracks but there are some very nice songs on here as well. Don't sleep on this one because I guarantee you'll be hearing from UG Sam in the future. - ULTIMATECDLINK
