Aight Kiotti I have not heard shit about I just seen his CD in the store and saw that he had some nice guests on his album so I decided to get it. Kiotti is from somewhere in Texas but im not sure where in the book he says something about Galveston but im not really sure. This album features the likes of Pimp C of UGK, Eight Ball, E-40, Klassy Thugz, and Mr. 3-2.

1. “Intro” your usual intro (1:36)

2. “Believe That” has a real laid back beat with a lil guitar in the background sounds like some shit from the old school times. This Track Features Eight Ball and this beat goes just right with balls style and he rips it up real nice like he always does his lyrics are just too tight at times. Kiotti comes nice on this track as well good track to start this album off with. (4:37)

3. “Turning Lane” has a nice up tempo beat sounds easily like some cash money shit. This song sounds like some Cash Money/S.U.C type shit. Kiotti comes tight on this track one line he said got me though don’t know if it was a diss or what but he was like “I Ball so Hard Juvenile Baller Block Me”. (4:58)

4. “All I Can Be” has a nice up tempo beat with some tight ass orchestra type effects going on in the background. Kiotti comes real nice on this track i was felling his flow as well as the hook good shit on this one the beat was on point too good shit on this one. (4:37)

5. “Danky Doo” has a organ type piano beat sounds like some polka dance type shit on this one. I wasn't really felling this track the beat on this track was kind of horrible I don’t know what the fuck he was thinking on this track. (4:55)

6. “Texas Boys” has a tight ass beat sounds like some good old Texas shit. This track features Pimp C & Mr. 3-2 and they both come tight and Kiotti once again comes tight too. The beat on this song sounds like Pimp C did it but it don’t say nothing about him doing it in the book so I don't know. (4:28)

7. “Sex Files” this shit right chea has the X-Files beat off the TV show. I never thought I would hear someone twist this beat especially a song about sex. This song aint bad but I think the only problem is that he made a sex song to a beat that is more scary than sexy. (3:45)

8. “K. Dot” has some tight orchestra/opera type beat shit going on. His first verse on this track could pass for some S.U.C freestyle type shit but it don’t really match the beat. This track is aight nothing too good i wasn’t really feeling the beat. (4:16)

9. “Here We Go” has up tempo bouncy club beat going on this one. Kiotti comes pretty good on this track and this would be good for the clubs, I think some will like this shit and some will not like it. The only thing I don’t lie is the hook which sucked. (4:02)

10. “Just Another Day” has a laid back old school beat they sampled this shit from somewhere, ive heard a few TX artists use this beat. Kiotti comes real nice on this track and this would be a tight ass track for the summertime good shit on this one. (3:54)

11. “Make Em Tango” has a more up tempo beat with some organ piano type shit going on. Kiotti comes nice on this track he shows what he can do on a solo level pretty good track but nothing super tight but bumpable. (4:22)

12. “Ballers & Pimps” has a nice west coast funk type beat, this is one of my most favorite beats on this album. This track features big E-40 and if you a fan of him you already know he brought heat on this track. The chorus on this track is tight as well it got some singing shit but its one of my favorite choruses and tracks on this album.

13. “Gangstas Hustlers” has a nice orchestra/ gangsta mob shit going on this beat. This track features his label mates Klassy Thugz and they all come pretty good on this track another bumpable track but nothing super tight.

14. “Keep The Club Crunk” has a nice up tempo beat with some piano and chimes going on in the background. This track sounds a lil different than most of the songs on this album but Kiotti comes tight and this track makes you get a lil more crunk that the rest of the album has.

This album had some tight cuts for sure but most of the tight songs were the ones with guest appearances and Kiotti didn’t impress me too much on his solo cuts plus the beats on his solo cuts weren't close to as good. Out of 14 cuts I say only about 7 are bumpable and Kiotti needed to work a lot more on his solo songs cause they seemed rushed and not very well put together. In the end this album is worth getting only cause the songs with guests but other than that I would stay away from it. Upcoming albums from Maddvibes Entertainment are Zamada-Truu Confessionz.
