Dem Franchize Boyz returns

Dem Franchize Boyz, the Bankhead crew that helped turn "snap-trap rap" into an epithet, is coming back. How could a group both celebrated and derided as a one-hit wonder (actually, two-hit wonder) get a second shot at pop omniscience? "I Think They Like Me," its breakthrough single, is certified platinum, and "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It" is certified gold. Its debut album, On Top of Our Game, went gold, too.
So here comes Dem Franchize again with Da Point of No Return, which drops March 25 on Capitol Records. I like a decent "snap-trap" song as much as the next guy, but the album's first single, "Talkin' Out Da Side of Ya Neck!" is really annoying. You can hear it on the group's MySpace page.
