The
Hall of Justus a.k.a.The Justus League
is the North Carolina supercrew featuring
members like Big Dho, 9 th Wonder, Little
Brother, Chaundon, Joe Scudda, The Away
Team and L.E.G.A.C.Y among others. After
the success of Little Brother and several
mixtapes by the crew The Hall of Justus
has released a compilation album entitled
Soldiers of Fortune . This 19
track LP features all members of the League's
crew and features beats from 9th as well
as Khyrsis and VA Producer Nottz among
others.
The
Highlights
Rapper
Big Pooh of Little Brother (for now on
to be known as LB) and Jozze Mo join forces
on the 9 th Wonder track on "Try
Me Again". Jozze Mo shows a tight
fast flow on this track and make you want
to hear more.
Skyzoo rocks his own name on "S>K>Y"
and talks about his lyrical prowess on
the mic.
"Jus Chillin" is the first cut
I heard off the LP and the majority of
the league comes together on a tough track
talking about the club, ladies and the
aftermath. This track is vintage dirty
south and Trae,
Big Dho, Chaundon, Joe Scudda, Buddy Klein
& E. Jones come through and
do their thing.
Little
Brother talk about the game in "Life
of the Party". Phonte talks about
being the middle artists in the shows
and how it's cool because there is still
room to grow. Pooh raps about keeping
that hunger after dropping the album and
the benefits of being a hood celebrity.
"1ne"
features Chaundon and he makes you laugh
with his witty metaphors and comparisions.
Scudda
raps with a chip on his shoulder on "Secrets",
a track talking about why he's nice and
slept on while "Feelings" brings
Jozze Mo and Khrysis together on a hard
beat and "Where I'm From" uses
6 rappers to talk about the 6 different
places they are from.
"Movin Fast" along with "Seein
Is Believin" are my favorite beats
on the LP and the Cormega and Sean Price
make appearances on the LP.
"Seein
Is Believin" is the best track on
LP in my opinion because it gives the
reality of the streets a chance to shine
and be seriously though of, mostly in
a negative connotation.
"Tour
of Duty" is a hard hitting group
track that sound just like the title implies:
a army march.
Overall
this album is a good introduction into
the Hall of Justus. I'll give it 3 Globes.
