Hot off the success of both Juvenile and B.G., Cash Money/Universal Records released the sophomore album from Hot Boys, GUERRILLA WARFARE. Featuring Juvenile, Young Turk, B.G., and Lil Wayne, these four MCs from New Orleans are pushing the southern-flavored hip-hop scene to new levels. The lead single, "We on Fire" is a blazing head-nodder that sounds like a perfect club joint. Packed with plenty of street bounce, you're sure to hear the track blasting from someone's Jeep. Some of the other songs to check out are "Help," a track that is dominated by B.G.; "Get Out tha Way," with its unique synth flavorings; and "Clear the Set." There are also solo tracks from Juvenile ("You Dig"), Young Turk ("Bout Whatever"), and Lil Wayne ("Clear tha Set"). Fans of the Big Tymers should check out "I Need a Hot Girl."

Rolling Stone (9/30/99, p.88) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...the latest sparks in the [Southern bounce] explosion....rowdy and refined....The group's most notable gifts are its dead-serious singsong flows...and a remarkable ability to make relentless repetition sound inventive..." The Source (9/99, pp.301-2) - 4 1/2 mics (out of 5) - "...[Hot Boys] gives Southern bounce an artistic shot in the arm....achieves landmark immortality with its blazing soundtracks to a hard-knock existence....They rewrite the game over a steady stream of crushing beats and polyrhythmic concepts..." Rap Pages (10/99, pp.143-4) - "...a nearly flawless set of songs that mark the culmination of all their prior work....GUERRILLA WARFARE is a phenomenal album that adds another successful chapter to the [Cash Money Records] legacy." - Rating: B
