RDB return with a follow up EP to their hugely successful debut album. Their self-titled album took ages to produce but the wait proved worthwhile, with the product being one of the albums of the year. So, the expectations were high for any future releases bearing the RDB name.

Balle Balle is the first tune. This uses Daniel Bedingfield's 'Gotta Get Thru This' beat. I feel the singer is a bit weak. He needs to improve a bit. The lyrics are also quite average, but the production is good and Singh MC lays down some nice vocals on the track. There's also a snippet of 'Putt Sardaran De' from their album - a bit of a pointless idea. The only thing the two tracks have in common is that the same people produced them both. I hope RDB are not just gonna ride on the success of that one tune! Overall Balle Balle is a fairly good track, not amazing.

Bapu is the second track. Dara Singh is the singer, following up his work on Metz & Trix's album. I think his singing on this track is better. The lyrics are good, quite a funny chorus - involving fear of being caught out by the bapu! The production is fairly traditional; with nothing dramatic has been done. All in alli'd say it's an average tune.

Muqabala is again a fairly traditionally produced track. The lyrics are average, on the militant side! The song is well sung and the production is good, not really of dance floor material, but good nonetheless.

Maa is the next track. The EP was nicely timed to be released just before Mother's Day, probably because of this tune. It's all about how much you need your mum. The lyrics are good. It is a slow tune, and again there is a traditional feel to the production, almost religious like. In fact, I'm sure mum bought a similar song from the gurdwara, with different lyrics, of course. A fairly good tune again.

This is followed by Ranjhana which is the lover's tune. The beat eventually kick in using samples from Dr Dre (again!) This time the Bang Bang beat is sampled. However the production is still good, as they are just used as samples and do not totally take over the track. The Mcing is a bit on the annoying side. The Punjabi lyrics are good, and well sung again. Still, it doesn't really compare to Bally Jag pal's 'Ranjha' on 'Untruly Yours.'

The Muqabala remix uses music from Bruce Lee's 'Enter The Dragon'. Good to see a bit of originality from RDB. Rather than waiting for an English tune to sample it, they have taken the initiative just to take the beat. The music is quite appropriate considering the nature of the song. I think this betters the original track.

The Bonus version of Balle Balle is the final track. It sounds more like a commercially dance version of the original track. Sounds a little bit on the cheesy side to me, I prefer the earlier version by miles. This version also has none of the Mcing. Overall it's a really bad alternative.

Overall the EP is quite average. It doesn't really compare to their album. Balle Balle is nowhere near as good as Putt Sardaran De. I seriously doubt this album will receive the same plaudits as their album. I'm a little disappointed that they did release an EP so soon after their album. Let's face it guys t his is a fairly rushed EP. I think the boys can do much better than this. I mean so what, if it would take them a longer time. The record company should expect that, and would be rewarded by increased sales of a better end product. Overall as an EP, I would give it a 7. However in terms of departing with your hard earned £10, I would only give it a 6. I feel this is fair as it should be judged in comparison with albums costing just as much. Then again, saying all this RDB did promise this would be more oriented towards the desi market, and that it is. There may be some people out there who disagree with me?!?
