Perhaps no song or artist better portrayed the effects of a grass roots, organic rise into the public’s consciousness in 2009 better than the Bay Area’s very own D-Lo and his remarkably infectious “No Hoe.” Continuing to bully its way into the new year, the official single has been followed by a bevy of remixes, including tracks featuring Snoop Dogg, Too $hort, and more.

However, the reliance on clichéd guitar lines (even in terms of in-track repetition) and half-baked tracks make this disc suffer in much the same way as “In The Land of Lost Monstersâ€. There are some moments on this disc that do inspire listeners, such as the drum-beat on “A Mind of…
