This is an album Kane & Abel dropped after leaving No Limit. I believe they left No Limit because they were unable to show their versitility. The first cut is called “Rise To Power” and it has a really solid beat and Kane & Abel drop some really tight vocals on it. “The Possiblity” is next up and its a pretty soft track, the beat is just average and so are the vocals. “Get Cha Weight Up” features Boss Player, he comes pretty tight on this track----this isnt Boo The Boss Player so dont get him confused with him. But anyways this song is pretty solid.

“Beat It Up” is next up and its a weak ass track, whack ass beat and soft vocals. “Straight Thuggin” features Twista who comes tight as fuck on this track, Sole is also featured on this track, it is a nice lil track. “Get Cha Mind Right” is next up and this shit is tight as fuck, I think its a lil diss to Master P but I aint for sure. Everyone that liked that No Limit will like this track. “I Dont Care” features the R&B singer Aaron Hall....its a tight lil mix of rap and R&B together, the beat is very cold and Kane & Abel come tight on it.

“Let’em Come” is track 11, its an average type of cut, just something you can listen to but nothing you will skipped right to so that you can bump it. “States Evidence” features Ghinn, Skandalus, Tommy Two Face and Boss Player....its a very tight lil track that introduces alot of new talent that have a bright future. The next track is called “Let Them Hands Go” and its a pretty shitty track, the beat is horrible and the vocals dont match it at all. “Show Me What Cha Workin Wit” is a club ass shaking type of song, its weak as fuck.

“This Life” is track 15 and its a laid back smooth type of track, Kane & Abel drop some solid vocals on this track here to make up for some of the weaker cuts preceding this one. “Hit The Block” features Boss Player and Ghinn......This track is one of the better cuts on the album, it has a really tight beat, nice vocals and solid chorus. “Hydroponin” is a smoking track that has a bangin ass beat that is too cold, it also features a nice ass female singin in the chorus, everyone will be able to get down with this smooth cut.

“Brave N’s” is next up and its a pretty weak cut in my opinion, the beat fucks the song up from the get go and Kane is trying to flow a lil too fast on here. Next up is “Get Your Mind Right” which is redone in Spanish, they flow the whole song is spanish, it sounds pretty tight. The last cut is a remix of the original “Get Your Mind Right”, I dont like the vocals on this track as much as the first one. Overall this is a descent album considering most of the people that left No Limit came whack on their follow up albums. They have alot of solid beats and solid tracks on this album. I suggest you pick this up if you are a No Limit fan or a Kane & Abel fan.
