  • Yep, that Mood! Cincinnati's Main Flow, Jahson and Donte have finally returned since '97's Doomwith production by Jahson and BBG. This is another classic example of keeping up with a sound that's "in" vs what your fans would like to hear from you. The trio still has the lyrics, but the beats were just not to my liking. My favorite cut is the last, X-Factor. get the album HERE
