http://d9cf4ba4.linkbucks.com

Young Bloodz is a rap duo from Atlanta, GA. It consists of J-Bo and Sean Paul. This is their debut album and was released in 1999 on LaFace Records. Production was handled by the legendary team known as Organized Noize. Beats are well crafted and are very unorthodox. They are derived from live instruments like pizzicato strings and electric guitars. Lyrically the album is just shy of impressive. Both members have decent verbal skills and they compliment each other well. Featuring on the album is Lil' Wayne, Bone Crusher, Leroo Wilyams and Backbone. This group would always find themselves in the shadows of Outkast and Goodie Mob. Although this album is a little on the club savvy side, it still deserves to be mentioned.

Their sophomore record, Thought Of Many Ways is a 2-Disc album which was released in 1997 on Big Shot Records. D-Red is the man behind all the production and he did an excellent job on this one. The Beats are hard hitting and are filled with woozy and whiny synths. Each member has a distinct flow and their lyrics vary on both discs. Disc 1 is more laid back with smooth flows while Disc 2 is more gangsta and contains that southern harsh reality. Features are courtesy of Bun B of UGK, D of Trinity Garden Cartel, Big Moe, Lil' Keke, Ronnie Spencer, Quanell X, Angie, Vic, and the legendary DJ Screw. The group released their final ablum "Botany Forever" in 2000 and eventually broke up. Members D-E-Z and Head got incarcerated and another member lost his life. Rest in peace B.G. Gator. Members C-Note, Will Lean and D-Red pursued a solo route. This group was also part of the Screwed Up Click (S.U.C.). Thought Of Many Ways will always remain a H-Town classic. The Botany Boys held their ground and put the neighborhood of Cloverland on the map.
