This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Sam Huston Boyz - Only Way 2 Shine. Only Way 2 Shine was released in 2000 on Isolated Records and Iced Down Records out of Austin, Texas. TJ Muzic is the producer. The members of SHB are Lil Breazy, Ajax, Lil Man, Lil Buzzy, Al G., Big Red, Riel, and TJ.
Sam Huston Boyz got their group from their street of the same name (Sam Huston Ave.). They were at house parties in Austin in the early 2000s, especially in East Austin. TJ Muzic was a well respected producer in the Texas rap scene at that time. That's how SHB got love in Texas!
Only Way 2 Shine was an underground hit for the group. This song is on this debut album, Only Way 2 Shine. This version of the song features Lil Keke. The other version on Stay Real features Lil Keke and Lil Flip.
You will love the beats and heavy beats on Bitch Please! TJ makes an appearance as well. It hits hard in the paint. Recline & Shine is a car riding song whether your car is on Candy Paint or not. Ain't No Doubt, Dirty South, PLAYA, and 1/2s To Wholes are southern rap songs. Gone Off Fry is a drug flippin song. Lil Black and Lil Sin have the best verses on Haters and Hos.
Haterz I believe was a diss track aimed at Big Baby Records and Nuf-Sed Inc. Why Big Baby and Tim Bailey were dissed, I don't know. What I do know is that anyone from Big Baby did not respond back. Lil Black was on his way to fame at that time. So probably he didn't care. Nothing really came out of it.
Their debut was way overlooked and slept on. I never knew why.
I rate this album, Only Way 2 Shine, 5/5*****!
