Mixerr Album Reviews #2,508

Not many people know this but the original Point Blank - Bad Newz Travels Fast album was supposed to be released by Commerce Street Records on June 1999. Sean Tompkins financially backed the album and owned the album title. Mike B produced a majority of his album. Point Blank recorded different music for that version of Point Blank - Bad Newz Travels Fast instead of the 2000 version of Point Blank - Bad Newz Travels Fast which is why the tracklist is different.

However the 1999 version of Point Blank - Bad Newz Travels Fast was not released on Commerce Street Records. Point Blank wanted to release that album on Commerce Street Records but realized he still owed Big Tyme Recordz an album as stated in his contract. So Point Blank and Russell Washington of Big Tyme Recordz had to pay Sean Tompkins for the album title and name. Point Blank took a few of the songs he recorded for Commerce Street Records with him. Such as Wrecking and Go Live were recorded for this album. That is why Point Blank - Bad Newz Travels Fast was released on Big Tyme Recordz.

However Sean kept most of the songs he produced for Point Blank. Sean used some of the tracks on those Doc Holliday mixtapes and other on compilations from Doc Holliday Productions during the 2000s.

Go Live was also put on a compilation called Young Southern Playaz ‎– Dirty 3rd which was released in 2000. K-Sam of P.K.O., Point Blank, Down and Dirty Clique (DDC), and UNLV all had guest spots on that song. The song has that fast paced New Orleans bounce sound. It don’t get no liver than this. Mr. Joshay sure knows how to get people listening with his raps and his smoothness. He has finesse and that Texas swang. Lil Ya gives the song that New Orleans bounce sound and Dirty South sound. Happy Perez and Ricé engineered the song.

I rate this album 5/5*****!
