    It’s the second strongly hyped sophomore album of the month, the last one was the horrorore based album “Goblin” by west coast psychotic rapper Tyler, The Creator. Now, hip hop Duo New Boyz, who had a mediocre at best debut album “Skinny Jeanz and a Mic”, and now, after have one strong single out of three singles, it seems like New Boyz have an improved sophomore album, “Too Cool To Care” coming out.

  

     New Boyz are certainly, and clearly, and will never be Outkast, Public Enemy, Bad Meets Evil, or any of the big hip-hop duos. They can’t compare to any of them lyrically, with the flow, the production, with anything, so it is strongly expected that this album will be about as dumbed down as there last album. It’s still an error of the album, and it still will be a bump for it, but it’s less of a bump because New Boyz are sort-of known for being dumbed down and in a way, really corny.

    

      New Boyz have a group of  16 tracks on this album. Two of the tracks on the album, “Crush on You” and “Active Kids” go back to the jerking style of rap music, as a result they were some of the best tracks on the album, “Tough Kids” had a mosh pit, rock inspired theme, it was the only track on the album that was near almost-perfect, and it’s a shame that the album had an opening like that, then kept getting worse on almost every track, until it reached “Backseat” which was produced by The Cataracs, and featured Dev, it was probably the only mainstream style track on the album that was good enough to count as great, fun and entertaining, mainly thanks to Dev and the Cateracs.

  

           The rest of the album was very similar to their first album. It featured corny lines, poor, overused beats that where heard everywhere, repetitive concepts, and dumbed down lyrics pretty much sums up there first album, and most of this album. The worst tracks on the album where “Beautiful Dancer” which had one of the most annoying hooks of the year so far. “Break My Bank” was a track that was made just for the radio to play and literally for nothing else, and “Meet My Mom” which was honestly a repetitive track, as well as a really dumb track to add.

        I hate to say that this album was a disappointment, because there wasn’t much to expect. In my opinion, it was more overhyped than anything else. The album did have its small moments, it started as a good album than quickly got much worse, but I think that this album is nothing but an enhancement and an addition of their corny, mediocre debut album, despite four much improved tracks.
