“Inside Out” is more or less a collection of the past 3 years of D-M.A.U.B.’s (aka Mr. So Professional) career in hip-hop. With this being M.A.U.B.’s 4^th studio and 1^st nationally distributed album, we’re treated with some of his best work alongside new tracks that will leave heads bobbing.

As with his prior releases, D-M.A.U.B. brings his superior lyricism and delivery into every track. If you already have some of the older hits from “Urban Legend” or “The Release,” you’ll want to pick this up album regardless. Songs like “I’m F.L.Y.,” “I Got Bread,” and “Drop It” have the potential to be big on the radio this summer.

If you’re a new listener or a long-time fan of M.A.U.B., you’ll definitely find something to love on “Inside Out.” With great collaborations, tight beats, & solid messages, D-M.A.U.B’s ferocious and God-given skills are shown once again. Even if it’s a collection of old and new, it’s one of the best hip-hop albums this year. You can’t go wrong buying this album.
