Even with the current resurgence of a distinct 90s Southern style Lil Ugly Mane is particularly adept at weaving himself into the legacy the likes of the Three 6 Mafia. ‘Mista Thug Isolation’ is the latest album from the rapper and, as the self-designed album cover shows, keeps in tow with the dark, twisted and funky template. The subject matter here stays limited but rightly so; Lil Ugly Mane is clearly comfortable and his pitched down, slow voice is the perfect fit for long time collaborator and fellow Richmond based producer Shawn Kemp.
