"...there isn't a single song that you will want to skip over.

This could possibly be labeled a "classic", and I HIGHLY recommend you pick it up!" Rated 4 1/2 stars out of 5.

DirtySouthRap.com said,
"Give It To 'Em" is my favorite track from the album, hard to even put a description of the flows from Lil Witness and S.C.C. into words from this track... in one word straight fire. Anyways the compilation like I said has a good mixture of rap styles along with production styles at that... im going to give it 4.8 out of 5. Make sure to pick it up."

"Down Here: Remix"...The hook is on the same note as the last one just some great south representation with some great rappers behind it. Everyone coming one after another on this one they all come with the heat on this one great follow up to the original." Rated 4 1/2 stars out of 5.

The South Coast Coalition has been picked to feature their music on "True Lives". "True Lives" is the next extreme reality series that will air on Showtime in the Spring of 2003. The idea is taking a group of people and moving them into a castle in Hollywood; cameras will follow them around for 3 months straight. (nothing new) The catch is...Inside the castle are 40 hidden cameras the contestants don't know about. The show is unedited, so it can't air on basic cable.

The new 504 Boyz album, Ballers, sold over 60,000 units in it's first week. The album also contains a free DVD with behind the scenes footage from "Tight Whips" and interviews with the 504 Boyz. (check out T-Bo in the DVD) T-Bo will also appear in the second video, "Get Back". (which features Master P, Silkk, and Curren$y)

The Down South.Compilation, Down In Tha Dirty, will be released on Jan 21st. You can preview the track, "How Hot?" featuring T-Bo and S.C.C., now at www.Down-South.com.
