Them niggas Alkatraz put out this album, it starts off with a message from E-40 to Al Kapone on a answering machine. The first cut is blazing “Aint Fuckin Around Pt.II” which is off the hook, Al Kapone starts this shit off flowing tight as fuck then, Big Vince comes in with a whack verse, but Taylor Boy, Kocane Wayne and Insane Mane help the song get back on track. “The Heist” is a tight lil cut featuring that flowing ass bitch Mac Brownie and Taylor Boyz---its is a very tight song.

“Tryin To Survive” is a song from Side Industry and Tha Deffa Heffa—I havent heard of any of these peeps, the song is pretty whack. “Kickin Back, Ridin Clean” is a very laid back track, its tight as fuck, you could roll to this shit all day, Al Kapone drops some really tight vocals along with Big Vince, J-Bone, and Taylor Boy. Cellski from the bay is up with a solo next “Cali”---I aint really feelin this cut at all. “Let Me See” is a shake junt song but its still tight, the beat is banging and the vocals are off the hook. Everyone comes really tight on this song.

“Murder and Sex” is done by the West Coast group 11/5, it’s a straight song but nothing that special. “I Ain’t A Killa” is a really tight song that features Al Kapone and Big Vince, some people say this is a diss to 3-6 cuz he uses some of their lines and shit, but anyway it’s the best song on the album by far and I gurantee everyone will bump the shit out of this song, I really don’t think it’s a diss though. Backyard 196 is up next with “I Hate My Hoez”—mane this song is crunk, these niggas drop a dope ass beat and Cyde Manson and Nigga 9 come tight as fuck on the mic.

“Wha Cha Got (Explicit Remix)” is an alright cut, it has the sample on alright alright, that Project Pat uses on chickenhead. I like the original version of this song a lot better. “Killa Pirana Fishes” is done by the group Land of Da Lost, it’s a straight lil cut, but its nothing off the map. “Don’t Nobody Know Me” is done by Funxsouljaz and Al Kapone, I aint feeling this song that much, its straight but nothing that special, these niggas are flowing pretty nice though.

“Avoidin Jail Time” was on Criminal E and Underground Sam’s last album, it’s a really solid track, both Sam and Criminal E both come tight on this bumpin ass track by Lil Pat. “Cali To Memphis” is up next, it has a really solid beat to it, Land Of Da Lost and Al Kapone get off on this cut. The last track is “Life In Tha Fast Line” is a really solid sounding cut, but Boss King fucks it up from the start, Al Kapone drops tight shit but Boss King is whack as whack.

Overall this is a nice album to have for the collection, it has some really tight songs that you will enjoy bumping in the ride and just chillin also.
