This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the Worldwide album by Southside Syndicate. This album was released on ATR Records in 2003. For those who didn't know who Southside Syndicate is, Southside Syndicate is Lil Sin, Big Chucc, and Moni (Michael "Moni" Parker). Worldwide music with Hip Hop flava and down south bangin' beats is what this album is filled. The beats and production is fairly decent. The graphics not so much.
The Intro tells us that Lil Sin and Southside Syndicate had just been recently released from Huntsville State Penitentiary in 2003. For those who didn't know who Southside Syndicate is, Southside Syndicate is Lil Sin, Big Chucc, and Moni (Michael "Moni" Parker). Southside Syndicate make their debut track. A good sweet intro. (Nashville State Penitentiary or Ashville State Penitentiary was my original guess.)
The song Worldwide is telling us about how Southside Syndicate is selling units and distribution of their debut album worldwide. In other words, Southside Syndicate is taking it to the top like Will Smith! Eating sushi and drinking Caviar. Lil Sin goes straight raw on this track.
Catfishin' is Lil Sin showing young niggas how the game works. It's about old school niggas teaching young niggas how to catch a fish. Don't hesitate to hook the bate on the hook rod. Catfishin' is also about finding the right woman out there to date. This sis Lil Sin's solo track. I love damn near every Lil Sin ever done! Lil Sin and Uncle Roger awaken early Sunday morning. Time to grab a 6-pack of brew and an ounce of zig-zag. Uncle Roger don't smoke.
Ride Wit Me and Southside Swangin' are club anthems and club tracks. Something to groove to at a bangin' party! So is Get Krunk which has mad flows! Southside Swangin' and Get Krunk are down south rap tracks. If The World Was Mine and Struggln touch and relate to real world issues such as haters, drugs, gang violence, political corruption, income equality, overcoming the perils of poverty, and other topic as well. Dippin' is a southern track with heavy bass and doodooism.
Truth Lies In The Pen is about how Lil Sin was writing life stories hoping people would listen. This was in 1995 after Lil Sin got his start in his rap career. Born in sin. He started off on Final Cry off of C-Ordell's Under Investigation album. This song was also off the 4eva Young album in 2003 I believe. Truth Lies In The Pen is about Lil Sin's life experiences all together.
Bouncen and Flossin is 2003 remake of the original song with a More Bounce To The Ounce sample by Zapp. So my favorites are Worldwide, Catfishin', Ride Wit Me, and Southside Swangin'. I just wish the group had lasted longer. ATR Records quit the game too early.
I rate this album, Worldwide, 5/5*****!
