Spin on "Tha G-Code": "And Juve himself represents best of all, using his hoary, washbasin grunt of a voice to rattle around inside each track, living up to the original MC-definition of moving the crowd ... With Tha G-Code, (Mannie) Fresh takes a quantum leap forward for himself, his record label, and possibly even more, tying the disparate black music threads of house, hip-hop, disco, radio R&B, gospel, electro and funk into one enormous, occasionally glorious, and always knotty, bow. Awesome."

"On his fifth album the funk pulsates as he gives props to his label on 'Cash Money Is an Army' and spits out edgy ghetto tales on 'Trigger Play' and 'Thuggin' ..... the uptempo 'Bling, Bling', with its spacey techno sounds, and the infectious 'Hard Times' provide variety and are sure to get heads moving" -- USA Today review of B.G.'s "Chopper City in the Ghetto" (05/04).

B.G. is featured in an article at the Gavin web site (05/04).
