This is Street Level Records Fourth Release and it has just shown how much they have come up as a company. Syko........manne this fool is hella slept on, ever since I first heard him I was like damn he has a lot of fucking talent. This album features J-Dub, B.D., Wanz. Byrdie, Smoke, Brazy-J, & D-Sane.

1. "Intro" Lil Intro gots him talking and speaking his mind, your basic intro..

2. "206 Ways" has a nice symphonic type beat with some tight funky mobb style baseline. Syko starts off with a nice verse followed by J-Dub On the hook. J-Dub come next with a verse and rips it up pretty nicely, then Syko comes with a tighter verse on the second time around, very tight song right chea...

3. "If I Had 2" has a real slow tempo beat some real slow mobb shit. Syko comes in first and rips a tight verse followed by Wanz singing a tight ass hook. B.D. comes in next with a fast flow some good savage type flows by him.

4. "Intense Kombat" has a real deep dark beat some deep piano in the background. This beat sounds like some shit Brotha Lynch would flow too. This is a Syko solo track and he basically spitting bout all the wack muthafuckas in the game. He comes tight on the hook and raps a real tight track.

5. "This World Of Mine" has a real slow struggle/pain style type beat. Syko starts off flowing he spits a tight verse and comes real nice on the hook of this song as well. Byrdie comes in second and he spits a tight ass verse I really like Byrdie’s flow he got a lot of talent as well. Smoke comes in next and he drops an aight verse he don’t shine as well as Syko & Byrdie did on this track.

6. "Legal or Illegal (Remix)" has a real deep and dark beat sounds like some real siccmade killer type shit. This is a real dark track and Syko shines real nice on this one he spits some tight shit on this one.

7. "Written Testaments" another real slow laid back type beat on this track. This track was real slow I liked Syko’s flow on this one but the beat was too boring to keep me listening by lyrically he came nice.

8. "I Just Wanna" has a real mellow mid tempo type beat/ real catchy shit on this one could be the single for the album. Syko comes in first and he spits an average verse not his best on this album but nice. Wanz comes in on the hook and this fool gots skills singing we need to see a Wanz solo album with all the Street level peeps rapping. This track also features Smoke who comes with a better verse than he did earlier. Byrdie is also on this track and he spits tight shit as usual.

9. "Skilled Savage" has a real laid back beat once again sounds like some siccmade shit mixed in with some mobb shit. Syko starts off with a very tight ass verse on this then J-dub comes in with a nice ass hook while Syko continues to rip it up the whole track.

10. "Sykotherapy" has a nice deep ass piano type beat to it. Syko comes nice on this track he spits some real shit on this I was really feeling his verses on this one. If the hook on this track would have been better this song would have been much tighter.

11. "Aint Shit Changed" has a tight ass mobb style beat the bass that came in on this beat in the beginning is tight. This track features Brazy-J who comes in with the first verse and he comes aight he also does the hook he does that nicely. Syko comes in next and he rips it up nicely I was liking his verse tight shit by him. Byrdie comes in last and he put a tight verse to end the song out on ...another tight song.

12. "It Gets Greater Later" has a real slow errie type of beat, has sort of a mobb style baseline to it. Syko comes real nice on the hook on this track he also rips it nice with his verses. This track also features J-dub who does the second verse and comes nice on his verse as well.

13. "Im Going Thru It" has a real slow beat once again, seems like Syko lies this slower type of beats he rips em pretty nicely. This track aint bad....i think its more of a filler track nice lyrics and flows on this track though.

14. "Fake Figurez" has a nice up tempo mobb style beat and starts off with B.D. ripping a nice ass verse to start the song off. Syko comes in next and he comes nice as usual, Brazy-J follows up to end the song out on another tight song once again.

15. "Chozen" has a real slow beat, once again has sort of an errie feel to it. This track features Byrdie who comes in on the second verse and he comes straight on this verse but Syko flows nicely thorough out the track.

16. "Words 2 Live By" has a real basic beat, nothing too special has a little piano in the background. Syko once again comes with some more deep shit on this one, this is a very nice track I was feeling his flow throughout the track, listen to the lyrics.

17. "End Game" starts off with a movie excerpt, has a real deep scary errie beat once again, Syko comes in with some nice verse wasn't really feeling this last track.

Syko comes tight through out this whole album and shows he gots lot of talent and he aint no joke. My only problem with the album was some of the beats, some of em seemed to sound the same but Syko made up with it with his flows. I saw a preview for his new album and its called American Sykkko and has a few major names on it like Messy Marv, Mac Dre & Dubee, so his new one should be heated for sure but while your waiting for that go pick this shit up cause its surely bumping.
