This is basically a compilation of niggas from Kansas City---the only reason I bought it cuz South Side Posse is on it and they are my favorite group from KC. It starts off with a pretty nice intro. "Silent Knights" is the 2nd track and it features Dred The Kriitikal, Mon E G, and Lord Elemental Rock---this song has a really nice beat and chorus is pretty tight as well, the lyrics arent really all that tight though. "Two" is the next cut and its just flat out terrible. "Overtown (Anthem)" is following that and its just alright at the best, the beat has way too much shit going on in it. Track 5 is "One Eyed Snake" and this shit isnt anything special---the lyrics on this track are just terrible.

"Pinesol" is next and it features a gang of people on it but it sounds like straight shit. "Watch Out 4 Me" is next up and its a little better then the other songs but its nothing I would bump. "Illegal Use Of The Hands" features Mon E G from South Side Posse---he drops some alright lyrics on this track but I have heard 1000 times better then this from him--this song is alright at the most. G.I Trendi is up next with a solo and this song is pretty different but its kinda tight---nothing to get really happy bout but compared to the other cuts its pretty nice. "#1 Fan" is the best cut on this album by far, it features Mon E G and he is sending a shout out to D-Man on this track, this song is off the hook---it reminds me of their old shit.

"Three Daps For My Niggaz" is up next and its alright----the beat is flat out terrible, L:ord Elemantal Rock drops some nice lyrics on this track. "All Niggas Die" is a cut by Felony 6 and Mon E G and this shit is awful---I cant believe they made this garbage. No wonder no one buys kansas City rap. Finally a tight cut "Deadly Tunes" is by Mon E G and Lord Elemantal Rock---Mon E G gets the fuck off on this cut, he drops some really tight vocals on this track---its off the hook. "Major Haters" sounds like most of the cuts on this album---just regular bullshit that you fast forward. I am sick of writing about this bullshit album already---I will skip the last 3 tracks cuz they are all bullshit also. Overall I wouldnt recommend anyone to pick this bullshit up. It only has 2 songs that are any good and they aint even all that tight. Kansas City is bout 5 or 6 years behind the rest of the nation when its comes to the rap game.
