AMG Review of 3 'n the Mornin', Pt. 2

All Music Guide

The second volume in this series concentrates almost exclusively on Texas rappers, as DJ Screw brings tracks by artists including Lil' Keke, Botany Boys, and ESG to a near standstill. In addition, he throws in Mack 10's "Fo Life," a rather well-known track among the other underground tracks. The choice to concentrate on music from the artists comprising Houston's Screwed Up Click instantly differentiates this mix from the first volume, which was comprised of primarily well-known tracks; therefore, this volume is a bit more representative of Screw's traditional Southern style.
