Tightwork 3000 is the third album by the Southern rap group 95 South, released in 2000.[6] It was a commercial failure. Two singles, "Tightwork" and "Wet-n-Wild", were released but failed to chart.

Production

The album was produced by 95 South's Daddy Black and AB, with help from Jayski.[7][8] It was recorded in Jacksonville and Orlando.[7]

Critical reception

The Oklahoman wrote: "The lyrics become redundant, and the beats fuse into a monotone. Perhaps AB and Daddy Black should go back to doing what they're talented at the most—producing remixes for other artists."[9] The Austin Chronicle thought that "the wet 'n' wild Orlando collective's bass-quakin' big-booty thump is tighter than a string bikini and more refreshing than an open fridge."[10] Billboard called the title track "fun-loving" and praised the "infectious bassline and the catchy hook."[11]
