On his third strictly solo album, Layzie Bone diversifies a bit. While he's still able to put down the highly influential, smoothed-out melodic sound from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's heyday, he also brings the pain with gangsta lyrics that flow over more West Coast-influenced G-funk-style beats. THE NEW REVOLUTION features production by Fingazz and the Crime Lab as well as guest appearances from Big Sloan, Bizzy Bone, Mr. Criminal, Mr. Capone-E, Mr. Silent, and Mo Thugs.
