Project Pat is Layin' Da Smackdown on his 2001 release Mista Don't Play Everythangs Workin'.  Project Pat has been in the rap game for a while but in 1999 he joined Hypnotize Minds and has been on fire since.  He's already released a great cd called Ghetty Green and a cd that had all his old stuff from the early 90s called Murderers and Robbers and in 2002 he will release Layin' Da Smockdown.  This is a solid release that includes his radio and music video hits Chickenhead and Don't Save Her.  This cd has sold over 1 million copies and has earned him a spot on mainstream rap music.  I have already heard the new cd because I downloaded the bootleg and it is banging.  The way this cd starts out is by the hit Chickenhead featuring Three 6 Mafia and La Chat.  Then goes into a skit where he is sitting on his porch drinking.  Then goes into two songs that have drug references. Then you'll hit with the second single off the cd Don't Save Her which is a story about a guy who tries to save his girlfriend.  The next song welcomes anybody who isn't from Memphis to come to Memphis in the song If You Ain't From My Hood You Can Get From Round Here.  A few tracks later you'll with a Hypnotize Minds track Break Da Law 2001 where everyone on the Hypnotize Minds label comes raps on.  Other highlights include We Can Get Gangsta and Messin' Wit Da Best.  Basically, any cd produced by Dj Paul and Juicy J is a winner.  This cd is groundbreaking for Hypnotize Minds and Project Pat's solo career and provides a bright light for Project Pat to one day maybe gets some play on the Pop-Rap station MTV where real Gangsta Rap doesn't get play from anyone besides Snoop Dogg. Buy this cd and you will not be wasting money and time listening to this classic.
