Ever since signing to Suburban Noize and the release of their third studio album, “Straight Outta Humboldt” the duo, Potluck, have been blazing a trail along with a fat sack of dank nuggets through the undergound music scene. Their music has always been geared towards a moving message and recently on “Pipe Dreams” that message has expanded into a full blown movement.

“Rhymes and Resin” is an expansion on that message boldly putting their ideology into affect on an album for music lovers and stoners alike together for a common thread. Personally, I think that the album sounds like they had crafted it while still in the studio recording “Pipe Dreams”. I understand Potluck is on the Kottonmouth Kings record label and they are a bunch of weed-heads over there, but how many songs or albums can you make strictly about smoking weed; it’s almost like what Twiztid said during a recnet GOTJ seminar “There’s only so many ways you can rap about killing someone” the same principle, to me, applies about weed-raps. However, like on every album before it, Underrated takes his skills as an excellent producer and pushes his own boundaries even further. His tracks mold around the lyrics the duo put together with the greatest of ease like the shot glass wrapping around a double hit of Crown Royal.

This album is pretty dope because it is in fact a double disc feature, so not only are you getting a Potluck album with all the awesome abilities that are on the project, but you get close to thirty songs of freshness as well. It features a list of people that are just as diverse as the Suburban Noize roseter, as far as musical acts go, Murs and Mistah Fab, Slaine and Ill Bill, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, James Boy, and Bosko. What seemed strange to me about their collabs was there is no Tech N9ne or anyone else from Strange Music like their previous albums, leaving one to wonder where are they?

Rhymes and Resin is an album crafter by a team that knows their way around the studio and sound boards, it is not something that was put together over night, and is something all you stoney kids can vibe out to. It has something for the stoner bitches and the club kids, it has something for you and your weed provider to strike a deal over, this is an album that is no longer a welcome to the movement but a bold reinforcement to either get with the movement or lay down!
