Once it again its the leader of dem Alkatraz niggas droppin another tight album. DJ Squeeky did all the beats on this album so you know the beats are banging. Al start this one off with a dance/club type of song that is crunk as fuck "What Cha Got" was made by DJ Squeeky and the beat is bangin and Al drops super crunk lyrics to this shit. Track 2 is a fuckin classic and it features dam near all of Alkatraz..It is called "Definition of A Hater" and this shit crunk-the beat is dat on dat...it starts off with Al Kapone flowing his ass off, then that nigga Taylor Boy comes in and rips shit up. Big Vince starts off the next verse with a alright rhyme but then Kokaine Wayne comes in and flows crunk as fuck, then that flowing ass bitch Mac Brownie comes in a drops a nice verse..This song is really tight.

"Full Of Indo" is next up and its one of his older cuts-I aint really feelin it all that much. "So Buck" is a banging get buck song, anyone that like get buck type of song will love this shit, Big Vince is on this song with Al and Squeeky drops a really nice beat. "To Tha Death" is a bumping ass song, Al Kapone drops some really nice lyrics and his flow is really crunk and Squeeky comes through with another crunk beat. "Lyrical Drive By" is another old cut from Al and I aint really feelin it all that much. "Ride Of Die" has a sample from 2Pac on it and its really crunk, the beat is trmndus and Al kicks some perfect lyrics--very nice cut.

"Break Yo Self" is up next and its alright even though it features a gang of tight niggas, it start off with Lou Nutt and Flaggs(you might know them from Murder Dog-they do alot of reviewing of albums)..They drop some nice lyrics, then C-9 comes in and rips a really tight fast lil verse. He is followed by Al, Kokane Wayne and 1st Degree who all drop nice vocals. "Diggin Tha Scence" is another older cut by Al that I aint feelin. "Take Em On A Drive By" is another old cut and its alright but nothing that special. Up next is "Locin Up: Memories of Club 380" and this shit is pretty tight, has a very gangsta feel to it, SMK dropped a really nice beat on this track.

The last cut is called "Juvenile" and its alright but its another older song..Overall this album is tight but the old cuts on here kinda tear it down, I think Al didnt have enough material to put on this so he used them for filler cuts which dissappointed me. If you are a Memphis fan you will like this album and I recommend you pick it up, the only downfall is all the older cuts.
