It all Happened So Quickly. One Day, Sheed, Meany and Fat were Grease Monkeys at a Makeshift Garage in their Bowen Homes Neighborhood.

The Next, the Trio that are the Shop Boyz were near instantaneous rising Hip-hop stars, Progenitors of a growing musical movement they call ''hood Rock" with this infectious song.

The track yielded the fastest selling ringtone in history (to date)!

The explict version is backed on this edition with a remix that features L'il Wayne, Chamillionaire and Jim Jones.

They call it "hood rock," but with their debut album, Atlanta's Shop Boyz accomplish something keener than that phrase suggests.

With Rockstar Mentality, former mechanics Rasheed "Sheed" Hightower and cousins Demetrius "Meany" Hardin and Richard "Fat" Stephens have coalesced their image as succinctly as any hip-hop group in recent memory.

Lead single "Party Like a Rockstar" eclipsed all previous speed records for digital music distribution, capped by the sale of a million ringtones in the track's first six weeks, and though the album's only real "rock" is the committed use of live guitar throughout, these songs nevertheless pay vocal tribute to rock stardom at every opportunity.

The title track forces the issue most obviously; "Rollin'" - the Boyz' professed favorite -motors forth on a bass hook pulled right out of the Beach Boys; and "My Car" keeps pace with yet another deeply thumping ode to the joys of automobile ownership.

Make no mistake, from the first shout-out of their native "Bowen Homes" to the unrelenting battery of uninspiring rhymes, Rockstar Mentality is urban-radio-ready hip-hop through and through, but the trio's savvy self-image might just corral enough rock-n'-roll, grease-monkey cred to elevate the Shop Boyz' from mentality to reality. -- Jason Kirk
