It’s about time DJ Zirk dropped some of his underground classics on cd like so many other Memphis artists have been doing...He did a very good job of picking out his most bumping junts for this album and did a good job remastering the songs and improving the sound quality. “Anna 4 Ya Hoez” is the first track and is a really solid track that features Kilo G who comes tight as fuck on this junt. One of my favorite tracks from DJ Zirk is next up and its called “Too Thick”. This junt has one of my favorite beats on it and some great flows by Tom Skeemask and Buckshot....many other Memphis artists have used this same beat that they got from Zirk.

“Strapped Wit Dem Thangs” is a track from Buckshot’s solo album, this cut features him and Primo coming hard as fuck on the mic....everyone that likes Buckshot will most definetly appreciate this track. Next up is another song from Buckshot called “Supa Straight” and its off the hook also, it has a laid back feel to it and some smooth ass vocals from Lil Chris, Buckshot and Primo.....I’m sure yall remember this from his tape cuz its sure stuck out to me. “Azz Out” comes in on track 6 and features Tony Down and Kilo G....this is another bumpin track that Im sure you have heard the beat of many times on other peoples shit.

“Real Niggaz” comes in next and is off the hoook, it has a great beat to it and Gunsta, Don Trigga, Lil Real, Goldie and Primo all come amazing on this bumpin ass track, I think everyone will love this junt here cuz its off the hook. “Just Be Me” is next up and it features Kyllah and Chemiztry, this is another bumpin ass track, it sounds alot newer then the other tracks but still have a strong undaground feel to it. Finally that nigga Mr Tinimaine gets to shine on this junt...”Mind Blowin” features him and Lil Kane and Primo....this song is a classic, Tinimaine comes soo damn hard on this junt here and Zirk lays down a bomb ass beat.

“Fuckem All” arrives in at track 10, this cut features Gotti, Gangsta D, Don Trigga, Primo, Lil Real, Kane and Tini Maine...The beat is very old school but the flows make up for that and allow a wider variety of listeners to appreciate this shit, very tight lil track. “Stay Paid” is a very laid back track that you can kick back and get blown to, it features Don Trigga, Primo, Lil Stick Up, Red Boss and Tinimaine...everyone of them comes nice and chilled on this here. “9MM” comes up next and features Kane, Primo and Don Trigga....this song is off the hook and one of my favorites on this album, the beat is tight as fuck and everyone drops tight vocals.

“Letz Make A Stain” is next up and is off the hook, everyone comes soo damn tight on this track especially Mr Tinimaine....Kane and Don Trigga come hard as fuck on this junt and the beat is very solid. “Locken In Tha Trunk” is track 14, this track has been remade a few times and this is the original version of it. It features Tony Down and DJ Zirk: this is a very tight track that you can pound down the street too. “Born 2 Lose” has that classic undaground feel to it that soo many people fien for from Memphis....it has Buckshot, Criminal mane and Primo on it and they dont let you down, everyone comes clean as fuck on this here.

Track 16 is called “Feelin Sick” and is a solo track by Mr Tini Mane and OMG this shit is off the hook, Tini comes harder then hard on this junt, it has to be the best track on the album, he needs to hurry up and drop another solo junt. “2Thick & Orange Juice Click” is the last track and it features Chilly D, Tazz, Bonney Mac and DJ Zirk...this is a really tight uptempo track that everyone will be able to get down with.

Overall this is one of the best Memphis releases I have heard in a long time, its a great representation of all of DJ Zirk’s classic underground production he has done over the years. I suggest that all Memphis fans pick this album up with the quickness, yall wont be disappointed.
