| | SPIN.com: Bubba Sparxxx - Deliverance |
 | | On Deliverance, Bubba’s back, and he’s traded frolicking in pig slop (see the 8220;Ugly”; video) for a more robust evocation of life below the Mason-Dixon line. |
 | | Together, he and Timbaland create a mellifluous wonderworld, a utopian South where bluegrass lives easily alongside bulbous bass, and the Delta blues give rise to a sound that brags, mopes, memorializes, and parties with equal acuity. |
 | | He’s always been an eerily skilled MC--on “Back in the Mud,” he rhymes almost exclusively in triplets, and his flow exploits both the unchained melody and the motorized funk that tows it like a trailer. |
