There’s a track here entitled Heavy In The Game. The song itself, a duet with B-Legit, is nothing special, but the beat is a slapper. It’s the type of music that should dominate E-40 albums instead of standing as basically the sole highlight amongst a collection of songs that, despite the set title, are comparatively dull.

Sleep, a sex anthem featuring Ludacris and Plies, is enticing, but almost every other track of the 28 included here isn’t. And this is just the first two of another four-album project, reportedly. So while E-40 is more prolific than ever, it is, unfortunately for us long-time fans, an ongoing case of quantity over quality.

You might need a hearing aid playa, cuz most of these tracks slap on here. There might be a total of 5 tracks on here that are average, but most of both albums are dope!

If E-40 had retired after the Grit And Grind album, most, if not all, of his albums would’ve been good. Instead he continued on; he’s released an unprecedented twelve in just the last four years; and hasn’t put out a good one since.

These Block Brochures continue the series as a set it’d be deadly holding your breath trying to find a good song on. The others had some. These have hardly any, thanks almost exclusively to an abundance of weak hooks.
