Sanj sure has been a busy guy this year, at least compared to other bhangra artists. His video for Block Party came out earlier this year, followed by his album "J-Nas - Asian R&B" which was released sometime at the end of March. And now the final installment in the AMW series is out, AMW4, in mid July. Let's see if all this quantity equals to some quality as well. Sanj has been derided for using bootlegs in his earlier albums, for using the same tracks in his albums again and again, as well as repeating tracks in his younger brother Lil Sach's album as well. Through all this though, he's been known to give quality products, some blazing dance numbers, and tight production. He's shifted base to North America, and is trying out desi rappers and RnB singers in his albums. The new album AMW4 also features the likes of Kal M, Lil Sach, Soni Pabla, Apna Swarn, Deep and many more. The album cover is nothing special. It's the above mentioned names have their faces on the cover to give them their 5 minutes of fame…each!

On to the main event, the album. The first track is Boli Panieh ft. Soni Pabla and Sanj. Smashing Track! The intro is of a sample of Arabic song called 'Abdel Kader' but just lasts for the first 5-6 seconds. Sampling again; I guess some people just don't learn! After that, in comes Soni Pabla and the dhol takes over. Lots of "Bruaah's" and "Aha's" in this one. Great production. It's a sure hit this one.

The second track is Dupatta ft. Apna Swarn and Deep. The beat reminds of the Riddim beats that Tigerstyle experimented with earlier in the year. Apna Swarn is the Punjabi vocalist on this one. I haven't heard of him much, but his voice is pretty decent. Deep lays down the rap on this beat, and does a good job. The production which is courtesy of Lil Sach and Kal M is lacking in parts. It's an average track overall, nothing special.

Next up is 'Hole in My Heart' feat Shayn and Deep. Starts off the guitar loops followed by some b-line bass. Shayn lays down the RnB on this one, mixing English with some Punjabi. Talented guy, but the overall effect of the song is what was popular maybe a year or couple of years ago, when Raghav and Jay Sean were doing the same thing. The only time I started nodding my head was when Deep came in and raised the track to another level with his rapping skills. It's an ordinary track which is couple of years too late as well. The production is by Lil Sach and Kal M again; better luck next time lads.

The fourth song is 'Lagdi Pyari' ft. IK (The One). I have never heard of him, but he's got a good voice, and it suits the song. The song though, is something we've heard many times. Hip-hop'ish beats, on some Punjabi vocals. Lil Sach & Kal M credited for the production on this one again and I must say they need to bring something extra to the track to make it a standout track, but fail to do so. I'm almost on the verge of making some chai to keep me awake for the rest of the album. Production levels are falling, and none of the songs after the first one have made any sort of impact.

This is followed by Kinni Sohni ft. Binder ft G3, Deep & Cheshire Kat . Riddim beats once again, but song wakes my up instantly. The production by Lil Sach & Kal M is slightly better on this one but the overall lack of quality once again disappoints me. After the first couple of minutes, I'm just waiting for the song to end. Same lyrics, repetitive beats, nothing special. MC'ing is crappy, should have done away with it. Moving swiftly onto the next track…

Onto numero six entitled 'Haat' ft. Apna Swarn. Dhol intro's the song, followed by some desi percussion. Thinking of being one for the desi heads, I snap to attention on this one. But the Sarangi in the back is irritating throughout the song. Without it, it would've been passable, but with it, I just switch over to the next one. Crap production, no need to even listen to this one.

Next up is 'Man on Fire' ft. Deep and Kamla Punjabi. "Lala lala lori.." introduces this track, with what seems to be the start of some old Punjabi song. Deep and Kamla lay down the rap on this one, and do a decent job. Production on this track is sh*tty. I don't know what Lil Sach & Kal M where thinking with this track. I've heard many tracks from Deep and Kamla Punjabi, and both are very good rappers. But their talents are wasted on this track. This album is already looking like a sorry proposition and they've the fans down with this one.

This is followed by 'In2Deep' ft. Shayn which is more Asian R&B. I'll say it again; Shayn's got talent, but needed better production for his kind of music. It's a respectable track. The ladies might like it, but I know the guys are already going for a repeat of the first track.

Well, what we have at the end of the album is this is 1 Dance Jam, and a couple of other passable songs. That's it! It's wrong to really blame Sanj for the lack of quality on this as one as the one track he's credited with is the stand out track! The rest is produced by Lil Sach & Kal M and they haven't produced anything of note on this one. All the singers that have been used are from North America are a talented bunch, but are let down by absolutely monotonous production. It's safe to say, except for the first track, no other track was deemed worth it by me. Now for the final verdict! Overall, I'd give the album 4 out of 10. Why so harsh? Going by the tracks, and the production levels. Rest, the public will give the final verdict, but as of now Abhishek says, the only track worth your time, ladies and gentlemen, is Boli Panieh. It's a sad end to the 'Americas Most Wanted' series with Envy announcing that this will be the last in the series as it has provided some decent hits in the past. Another thing to note is the lack of video for this album; basically the label hasn't bothered to do a video [well not yet anyway] and the album is out now which is really odd! This combined with the severe lack of quality on offer leads us to ask the question; why bother? They were probably hoping the 'hype' of the AMW [America's Most Wanted] title would carry this album and lead the unsuspecting public to buying this poor excuse of an album but we strongly recommend that you don't waste your money on this one.
