The album’s single, “Ballin” featuring Lil Wayne was released last week digitally and it’s doing well. As to the release date for the album, the net is buzzing with rumors that July 26 is the day – I’m going to wait and see.

May162011Album Review: Yung Truth “From The Dirt” Mixtape
Houston rapper Yung Truth recently dropped a new mixtape, “From The Dirt”. This project included features from Doughbeezy, Corey H, Dante Higgins, Exquisite, Lil Jeff, KAB tha Don, Delo, John Dew and J Sixx.
The sound of Houston can be heard throughout “From The Dirt” especially in “Time 2 Lay Em Down” featuring Doughbeezy, “Candy Drop” and “Kush Clouds”.
I was not impressed with “Don’t Go”, however the follow up with “Hit The Pedal”, was just what I needed to keep my mind from checking out. Definitely a banger.
An the up-tempo song, “I Feel Good” featuring Dante Higgins did add a nice mix to the album. True to the title of the song, it really makes you reminiscence on past memories.
“Eat Grind”, “Money By The Ton” and “Gettin It On” are great tracks to bob your head to the beat while your trunk is bumping to continuous flow of beats.
“From The Dirt” is definitely an album that would appeal more to our Texas hip hop heads but I believe has enough to offer any listener and lover of hip hop.
