Once again its Lil Gin banging at your fuckin door, mane I have been waiting for this shit forever and boy was I ever let down. "Nobody Moves" is the first track on this album, it has a really nice beat to it, but Lil Gin now tries to sound too much like Skinny Pimp and it dont sound right. This song is an alright track but nothing that special. "The Roof Is On Fire" is up next and I dont know what the fuck they are thinkin on this track, its a diss track but the chorus is just shitty---Z Dog is on this track and he drops a straight verse but overall this song is terrible.

"Blockin My Shine" is next up and its another shitty song, I can barely listen to this shit, the beat is shitty and the song seems like it has 0% originality. "My Cheeze" has a tight ass chorus line and the beat is banging, its kinda a slow track but its off the hook, very chilled song. "Fuck Em Up" is a really shitty song, I cant believe this is the same nigga. The best song is next up "Scoppin" and this shit is blazing, the beat is blazing, chorus is crunk and the vocals: woah mane, they drops some dope shit on this track.

"Tennessee" is started off by Z-Dog and he totally fucks the entire song up, this song is whack as fuck. "Rebellious" is up next and its a straight ass cut, the beat is pretty tight and Lil Gin drops some nice vocals. "Pass The Pussy" is a terrible song, its the Gimisum army trying to talk bout passing the pussy and it dont sound right, these niggas are too gangsta to be rapping bout this shit. "Shake Junt 2" is a club song, I guess its a straight club song but it aint nothing I would ever listen to in my ride, the beat is bumping though.

"Main Objective" is another song that Z-Dog starts off and basically fucks up the song, AK drops the second verse on this track and it aint much better then Z-Dogs shit. "Watch Yo Back" is a little better then some of these other songs on here but it aint really that nice still. "Agony" is track 14, the beat and the vocals on this track are very tight, very laid back chilled shit. "Smooth Getaway" is song from one of his underground tapes, its one of the better songs on this whole album, it sounds like the old Lil Gin that used to tell stories and shit.

"Once Again" is my favorite Lil Gin song ever, its off the fucking hook--mane this song is blazing, yall gotta hear this shit, he was in junior high when he made this song and its off the hook for any age. Overall this album is shitty as fuck, only bout 3 tight songs and all the rest are shitty. Lil Gin has changed his style up way too much, some songs he trys to be like Skinny Pimp and others he tries to yell and shit. I wouldnt recommend buying this album, maybe used if you aint got nothing else to buy.
