Four years after
Tela collaborated with
Eightball & MJG and
Suave House Records on his breakthrough single,
"Sho Nuff," the playboy rapper from Memphis recorded his second album for
Rap-a-Lot,
The World Ain't Enuff. The album bears little resemblance to the
G-funk Tela had recorded for
Suave House. He instead embraces a livelier, more contemporary
Dirty South style that's driven by bass-heavy dance beats rather than smoked-out
Chronicesque ones, and he boasts this new style on an up-tempo remake of his signature hit,
"Sho Nuff." It's immediately followed by a likewise
club-orientated
Jazze Pha remix of
"Table Dance," another of his previous hits. These back-to-back remakes come mid-album and showcase how far
Tela had come during the late '90s stylistically. The glossy remakes also serve as a nice climax before
Tela returns to his new songs, which include a few highlights, among them the album-closing title-track collaboration with the
Rap-a-Lot don himself,
Mr. Scarface.
