Judging by the numbers of releases from down South at the time of this album's release in late 2001, you'd think that there isn't a rapper in Atlanta who doesn't have a record deal.
Que Bo Gold is the latest in a long line of ATL rappers to release a new album in 2001 and
Red Clay lies somewhere in the middle of the pack behind
Outkast and
Pastor Troy but ahead of crews like
T.I. and
404 Soldierz. What gives
Que Bo Gold a slight edge is the production on
Red Clay. While he still provides plenty of Southern bounce, he also mixes in a little old-time
Southern soul as well as some
blues and
folk. He even goes so far as to sample
George Thorogood's
"Bad to the Bone" on
"Lil Buddy." While
Que Bo Gold takes no major missteps on
Red Clay, he also fails to hit any major home runs. The result is an average album, one that will appeal to devout fans who can't get enough
Southern hip-hop, but to hardly anyone else.
