The southern hip-hop sound of Master P is in full bloom on this album. Assembling an arsenal of talent known as the "No Limit Soldiers" in the form of Snoop Dogg, Mystikal, Silkk The Shocker, Sons of Funk, Fiend, Mia X, C- Murder and others, MP has more connections that AT&T. "Make Em Say Uhh" is already a hit at radio, and with two discs of jam-packed hip-hop treats, DA LAST DON delivers the goods.
"Soldiers, Riders and G's" features Snoop, Mystikal and Silkk The Shocker. "Get Your Paper" has an appearance from Cali's E-40. "Ghetto Life" has the UGK, aka The UnderGround Kings. Though none of the tracks are produced by outside producers, MP and his camp avoid a monotonous sound by collaborating with various MC's. Other tracks that will "make em say uhh" are "Mama Raised Me", "War Wounds" and "Thug Girl", which is a take off on the classic RUN D.M.C. track "Dumb Girl".|
