For the past 10 years, Queensbridge has proven itself the unofficial home of criminal-minded hip-hop. Some of it's been good, some bad, but the QB sound is consistently grimy. And Screwball, a crew that's been around for considerably more than a hot minute, represent their 'hood in fine style. Having bounced from Tommy Boy Records, the group, which includes KL, Hostyle, Poet, and Kyron, decided to release their sophomore album on a smaller label, and the move seems to have liberated them. <I>Loyalty</I> is 100-percent unadulterated, down-and-dirty street music. It features live beats, tight rhymes, and guest stars Kool G. Rap, M.O.P, and Cormega, each adding depth to the final product. More importantly, it has what so many so-called street albums have being missing for a while--a genuine love for the music. As Cormega says on the title track, "Loyalty's worth more than wealth." The purity of Screwball's <I>Loyalty</I> is a welcome confirmation. <I>--Rebecca Levine</I>

3 out of 5 stars LUCKEY STAR NUMBER 3!!!...ALMOST DID NOT MAKE IT........2005-12-02

WITH THA SONG THEY HAVE WITH CORMEGA IS THE REASON IT IS STAR NUMBER 3...OTHER THAN THAT ITS OK.

4 out of 5 stars 2nd group LP is a solid one.......2005-09-16

Just over a year since their classic debut the 4 man QB group is back. Like most of the reviewers said, not as good as "Y2K" (not many albums are as it's one of the 5 best rap albums ever in my opinion) but still a solid 4 star album. For fans of Screwball you know what to expect, pure grimy steet gangsta rap, nothing else (what do you expect from QueensBridge). Packed with 16 songs, you get 2 classics, another 2 that are almost classics, 4 ok songs, and the other 8 are good or great songs. Once again the guest list is straight street rappers like their debut, and they're on about half the songs. Once again each member drops a tight solo song. Production is good as well. Godfather Don does 6 songs, Ayatollah does 4, Mike Heron, SPK, Beatnuts and 3 cats I never heard of all do 1 song. Once again a must have for fans of that QB street rap.

3 out of 5 stars Not as good............2005-04-10

Yo, there's only SEVEN tight azz songs out of NINETEEN tracks! That leaves..TWELVE Average or wack azz songs. What the hell is that all about? I'll admit that Screwball has maddd talent, but i don't think they spent enough time on this album. Yo, maybe they came up with these songs all in a week..i dunno..but n-e-wayz...stay up Screwball. Peace.

3 out of 5 stars Please..........2003-02-19

man screwball fell off..anyone who listened to their first album knows this. The lyrics dont even compare and the beats are beyond weak. I still say Y2K is one of the illest albums of all time.

5 out of 5 stars Top Notch QB Hardcore.......2002-04-14

Screwball perhaps eclipses their previous release, Y2K. Like a Gangsta, Where You At?, Live and Let Die, Torture, When the Sun Goes Down, I Spit, Loyalty, Gorillas, Too High Too Low, Streetlife, and Screwed Up are the top tracks. The only song I didn't like was Gotta Believe, an out of place R&B song. That thing that makes this album great are the beats, lyrics, MCing, and guest spots. Production is mostly done by Ayatollah and Godfather Don, but they get help from The Beatnuts, F Bee 4, Goodie Goodman, Mike Heron, Stone, and SPK. Good guest spots are put in by Matrix Bars, MOP, Black Attack, Noreaga, Kool G Rap, Tragedy, and The Beatnuts. Overall, an excellent album.
