Introduced to the world as guest stars on
Rick Ross' chart-topping album
Port of Miami,
Triple C's -- or
Carol City Cartel -- is actually the group
Ross used to run with before he went solo. Released on
Def Jam through
Ross'
Maybach Music Group,
Custom Cars & Cycles is payback as the Miami Don reunites with members
Gunplay,
Torch, and
Young Breed. Just like the cover photograph,
Ross is front and center on the album.
Ross assists them on a steady stream of simple yet effective tracks that thug, swagger, and push yayo the Miami way, that is, with plenty of polish and heat. While
"Go" is the single to start with,
"Gangsta Sh*t" is the meatier street track and an incredibly G-funk one at that, thanks to special guest
the Game plus a
Baron "B-Rock" Agee production that borrows a bit of
Dr. Dre's
"Prelude" from
N.W.A.'s
Niggaz4life album.
"Trickn Off" with
Gucci Mane and
Drumma Boy on production comes in third, with
"Chickn Talkn" and
"Break It Down." Ross might overshadow
Triple C's at times, but you can credit him for the numerous highlights and thank him for the weekend or two that
Custom Cars & Cycles rocks your world.
