Poobs - Prepare For Glory (Album Review)

Poobs is part of the New Generation of D-Block and supplies a lot of the production for their projects. He has been providing D-Block with some innovative production efforts over the past few years. This new album showcases his abilities not only as a producer, but also a mediocre rapper. Poobs production is successful because it is conceptually different every track he touches, but not so much that his beats come off sounding scattered. However, he lacks a signature sound like the big guns of production such as DJ Premier and Swizz Beats. I liked Poobs’s sample choices such as the on soul singer on Miracle and the LL Cool J sample on Need Bail. He also does a decent job of rapping on a few of the tracks. Poobs shows that he has a lot of creative and original production to offer, all of which bang perfectly with the hard D-Block east coast gangster style. From a production standpoint the top tacks on here were Miracle, Need Bail, Pain, Zoom, Streets Call’Em Bully, and Hog Tied. This was a strong release from D-Block and Poobs. I will be looking for more of Poobs production on upcoming D-Block projects, 3.75/5.
