17. "Crime Buddies" has a nice mid tempo beat real nice beat on this track. This is tight concept for a track they both spit on each other on how much they would ride for each other. They show how much love they got for each other real tight song to end this album out on I was feeling this track for sure.

Overall the production on this album was knocking DJ Daryl did a good job on the production note for this album. Crooked Eye & Bavgate both got skills on the mic they always spitting some savage shit and they showed that on this album. This album had a west /south feel on it but mostly west. I think its kind of good that they got off No Limit because they went back their roots of making good west coast music. Overall a bumping album I would go scoop this one up much better then their previous two albums for sure.
