Jacka of the Mob Figaz comes with his first solo album and it is being presented by AKBR Records. The album features the likes of Yukmouth, Cormega, Too Short, Young Uzi, Hustlah Of Mob Figaz, Fed X, Kazi, Maki, Dee Dee, Young Bub, Rida, AP-9, & The Hoodfellaz.

1. "Target Practice" has a nice mid tempo beat with soem nice guitar in it sounds like some east and west flavor mixed in one track. This track features Yukmouth, Kozi, Hustlah and Earl Haze. Yukmouth comes in with the second verse and its pretty heated on his part. Everyone else featured on this cut comes pretty heated as well. Jacka came real nice on his verse as well tight shit on him and good shit to start this album out on.

2. "Hey Girl" has a real slow beat kind of a mobb style mixed with R&B feel. Thos track features Young Uzi and Kazi. Jacka starts this track out nicely and the hook is kind of catchy you could use this track for a single. Overall everyone came pretty tight and the beat and raps were tight all the way through.

3. "Die Young" this beat samples from the theme song from the TV show MASH really tight beat. This track features Oakland vet Too Short and Hustlah of Mob Figaz. Too Short comes real tight on his verse and hustlah comes hella tight as well for his part. Jacka started this track out and did it well overall a banging track right here.

4. "Innocent Youth" has a real slow beat has sort of a R&B struggle type beat. This track features Christion, Fed X, Kazi, & Maki. Everyone comes hella clean on this track and the hook is tight too its a nice singing hook overall another tight track right here that is worth a peep.

5. "From The Bay" it samples a beat from a R&B song but i cant place what song it is but tight beat to it. This track features Dee Dee singing the hook for this one. Jacka comes tight from front to back on this one good to see him handling the business on the solo tip and representing the bay at the same time.

6. "Thugg’ed" has a nice laid back beat with some piano and guitar in it. This track has sort of a reggae feel to it on the hook. Jacka comes pretty clean on the hook for this track overall a decent track right here.

7. "With My Chop" has a real up tempo piano beat sounds like seem real lets get ready to ride on em shit. This track features Young Bub and he starts this track out and he sounds young as hell but he spits his ass off good shit by him. Jacka does the hook on this track and he flows his ass off on this one a very nice track right here worth a peep for sure.

8. "Im Thru" has a real mid tempo beat sounds like some video game music at a point. This track features Cormega and Rida and the both come real clean on their verses for this song. I hook on this track is kind of shitty its like some scratching type shit I wasn't feeling it. Overall the flows were tight but the hook sucked.

9. "1,2,3" has a real simple basic beat sounds sort of a dance club type track. This track features Kazi and Huslah of Mob Figaz. The hook on this track seemed like it should have been good the way they did it but I don't know this track seems like it wasn't put together well it sounds all fucked up to me for some reason you have to peep it for yourself.

10. "Body" has a nice mid tempo beat a real mobby feel to it. This track features Hustlah of Mob Figaz and he starts this track out and he comes pretty good on his part. The hook on this track once again seems like it coudl have been good but it came out fucked up. Jacka came pretty good on the flows but the hook once again kills the track.

11. "Fuck With The Mob" has a real orchestra raise up type feel to it straight up mob shit. This track features AP-9 and he starts this track off and rips it up nicely he always comes pretty tight when I hear him spitting. Jacka comes pretty good on his part for this song and the hook is decent on this one.

12. "Dat Tapes" has a real slow laid back sounds like a east coast type beat. This track features Young Al and Husalah. Jacka came pretty good on his part for this track and so did everyone else this track seems like it could have been tight also something just seems like it wasn't right once again.

13. "Life" has a real slow beat sounds like a struggle / pain type track. This track features Cormega & The Hoodfellaz. Everyone comes real tight on this track flow wise and the hook aint bad either it has a nice monotone singing feel to it. A decent track right here worth a peep.

14. "Million Miles" has a weird style beat it sounds like some shit you would hear on one of those TV commercials like Celtic moods shit or summing not a very good beat. This track gots a shitty hook and the flows were not very good either this track was hella weird to me and I wasn't feeling it at all should have you skipping fast.

15. "Cuz Im The Mack" has a nice mobby beat sounds like some west coast pimp ride shit. This track is another solo cut by Jacka and he comes pretty nice on this track and a pretty good hook as well on this track overall. This track is worth a peep right here.

16. "Warfaces" sounds like some we ready to go to war shit just like the title. The track features Husalah and King and they both come decent on thier flows. Jacka comes pretty good with the flows for his part. Overall the lyrics and flows on this track were tight but it didn't seem well put together anther mediocre track right here.

17. "Love How It Feels" this is a real laid back beat sounds like some reminiscing party type shit from the early 90s tight shit. The hook has an old school sample on it pretty good shit for doing that. This track gots some tight flows by Huslah and Jacka and overall worth a peep for sure.

18. "Where Im From" has a laid back type beat sounds like some shit from a Chinese martial arts flick. This track features Maki. Jacka ends this album on a nicer note than some of these other tracks. Has a nice hook and everyone comes good on this track a nice way to end this album out on.

Overall the production mostly handled by Rob Low was shitty at times and good at times. The album had a lot of East Coast feeling type beats. Jacka came tight for the most part on his flows but some of the tracks sounded like they were mixed and put together shitty. The first half of the album started out so good but after about the 8th track it was all down hill. A lot of the hooks were horrible and the raps started to become shitty. Overall this album is just decent sort of a let down to me. I expected more from the Jacka and its not as heated as I expected but others may think different but that's my two cents.
