This is an example of the Southern Rap "screwed & chopped" mix style. Personnel: Devin (rap vocals); Erica Marion (vocals); Assassin , 8Ball , K.B., Man Child, Pee-Wee, Deez (rap vocals); Juan Sanchez (guitar); Luster Baker (keyboards); Mike Dean (bass guitar). Making good on the "dude" part of his name, the good-natured rapper Devin the Dude eases through a fun and relaxed set of songs on To tha X-Treme. A laid-back vibe (at least partially due to some serious smoke inhalation) pervades the album, making it a welcome change of pace from more gruff, heavier hip-hop. Devin hilariously introduces the disc on "Devin's Medley," and then slides into the smooth, electronic-tinged title track. Other highlights include the dreamy "Right Now," which boasts a gentle acoustic guitar line and light percussion, and the entertaining stoner-meets-cop tale of "Go Fight Some Other Crime." By mixing deft pop melodies with tight rap beats and clever rhymes, Devin has crafted one of 2004's most enjoyable hip-hop records.
