Once
Three 6 Mafia gained a measure of respect and popularity,
Indo G broke from the ranks and released a solo album,
Angel Dust. Musically as well as lyrically, it's not far removed from his main group. It's a familiar mix of low-riding gangsta rap, party-ready grooves, hardcore rhymes, and funky beats and bass -- with the bass being emphasized, since
Indo G and
Three 6 Mafia are from the South. The difference is,
Angel Dust stands out because producers
Juicy J and
DJ Paul are sonic masters and
Indo G is a sharp-minded rapper. These factors are enough to make
Angel Dust feel fresh, even if the ingredients are familiar.
