Producers include: Young Sears, Robert E. Vaden Jr. PKA Real. Houston native Lil' Flip returns after the success of his solo releases with a mod squad of local friends collectively known as the 7-1-3. The Undaground collective is a less than remarkable group with nothing really new to offer the Dirty South that hasn't been said before. While the production is clean and solid, lyrically there's just no juice behind this for Dirty South fans. Of special note, there's a very creative homage to Eazy-E's classic "Nobody Move," updated and flipped around Dirty South style. As a value-added bonus, there's an inclusive DVD with new material and additional remixes from Lil' Flip's 2002 Undaground Legend release. But even with the bonus disc, this one's for serious Dirty South heads only. ~ Rob Theakston Houston native Lil' Flip returns after the success of his solo releases with a mod squad of local friends collectively known as the 7-1-3.

With truly otherworldly stuff of legend, the producer/remixer gained notoriety when he concocted a uniquely deliberate slow sound, dubbed "screwed up," aided in part by a hallucinogenic potion called syrup, which made the world slow down, but Screw succumbed to an overdose of that very syrup. During his reign, he took under his wing a prolific teen MC whose ad-lib acumen earned him the nickname "The Freestyle King." Following Screw's demise, Lil' Flip created his own world of Houston rappers around his Sucka Free label, secured major distribution, and took his sound national. LIL FLIP AND SUCKA FREE PRESENTS 7-1-3 consists of two CD's, the first a collection showcasing artists from within the Sucka Free universe, the second a set of swirling, often screwed-up remixes of songs from Lil' Flip's platinum record UNDAGROUND LEGEND. From the spy-movie intro of "Deep Deep South" on, the tracks display an incredibly busy, yet hypnotically enchanting qualtiy, and the five rappers who switch off reveal consistent skills. The mostly screwed-up remixes, as presented by a direct disciple of the master, offer a solid representation of the style.
