Another in a long line of
Three 6 Mafia spinoff albums,
Dat's How It Happen to'M is credited to
Da Headbussaz, which is essentially
the Mafia with the addition of former No Limit soldier
Fiend. As to be expected with all
Three 6 releases, the production is on point, as
Juicy J and
DJ Paul never seem to come up short with mammoth beats, no matter how many albums they churn out year after year. Also to be expected with
the Mafia and company, the rapping is gruff and grimy, as a quick scan of the track titles should evidence. The addition of
Fiend certainly makes this an atypical
Three 6 album, though -- and for better or worse, depending on how much you like his style, which is definitely at odds with the other rappers here. Regardless,
Juicy and
Paul's production here is reason enough for fans to give
Dat's How It Happen to'M a listen, especially the standout track "You See We Poe." ~ Jason Birchmeier
