Mo B Dick, known more so for his production as part of Beats By The Pound, demonstrates that producers often know more about being an artist, then do the artists for whom they do production. Confused? I hope not. Mo B suavely pulls together his production, R&B, and hip hop skills all into one album. 'Gangsta Harmony' is a truly fitting album title and doesn't disappoint.
Mo B shows off his production skills with dope rap beats on the tracks: "Mo B's Theme", "It's Alright" and "Part 3". Then he puts on the brakes, skids to a halt and mellows your brain with sensational R&B tracks like "Could It B?" and "U Fell N Love W/A Gangsta".
This album was a truly impressive No Limit effort, which isn't suprising considering that Mo B Dick did the majority of the production as opposed to Master P. Mo B loses marks for occasional lack of continuity. Every so often, he'll throw a couple lines into a song that catch you off guard and don't seem to belong in an R&B song. If you're enjoy No Limit, then this is a must get album. Otherwise, I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that this is the second best No Limit album that I've heard thus far (excluding any Snoop Dogg albums because they're in a league of their own). Any Hip Hop/R&B heads might wanna consider picking this album up.
