The Heart of tha Streetz, Vol. 2 (I Am What I Am) is the tenth studio album by rapper B.G., released on March 21, 2006 on Koch Records. The first single from the album, Move Around, features former Cash Money Records artist/producer Mannie Fresh[3]. Paul Wall, Webbie, and the Chopper City Boyz appear on this album. The album debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200 with over 62,000 copies sold in the first week released, making it B.G.'s highest debut on the chart.[4][5]

Album information

As one of the initial artists on New Orleans's Cash Money label, and a member of the Hot Boys (which also featured fellow future superstars Juvenile and Lil Wayne), B.G. is something of a Dirty South lynchpin. A string of solo releases on Cash Money and other labels has helped maintain his profile, and The Heart of tha Streetz, Vol. 2, follows up its companion, Vol. 1, in typical B.G. style. B.G. raps on the usual topics here with his laid-back, laconic flow. At 18 tracks the album is a bit too sprawling, but guest stars Mannie Fresh, Webbie, and Paul Wall keep things interesting with their dynamic cameos. There is plenty of similar production, as well as swagger, menace, and brio Southern rap fans are accustomed to. While Vol. 2 isn't necessarily considered a leap forward for B.G., it holds his established name in good standing.
