This is a release from Rap-A-Lot records from back in 94 or 95, these niggaz have a deep hatred for white people, its almost on the level of Da Lench Mob that Ice Cube put out. The first cut is “Aggravated Mayheim” and its a very rough and rugged style cut, that talks much shit on white people, KKK, and stuff along those lines, its an alright cut, just a little too much yelling and shit. “Mad Nigga” is next up, it has a tight lil beat, the flows on this are very tight, they come tight lyrical wise as well.

“Record Deal” has one of those dope ass old school Rap-A-Lot beats, mane this beat is off the hook and the vocals on this junt are tight as fuck, one of my favorite cuts on this junt. “Life” is track 4 and its a slower style track, nice laid back beat and vocals...I really dont bump it that much, just nothing that catches the ear all that much. “Runaway Slave” starts off with a lil skit bout someone escaping their master, once the song starts its very rough and rugged, very get buck type of style even for an old school cd, they come really tight on this track.

“Da Hood” is next up and its off the hook, very tight beat and the flows are very solid, one of my favorite tracks on this junt. “What You Say” actually had a video for it, it is another tight cut, that has 2 people rapping back and forth to each other, nice lil beat and good content. “Da Bullet” is uptempo type of track with very gangsta lyrics, it has a nice beat and good flows. “Cold World” is track 9 and it has one of those old school Rap-A-Lot beats that is tight, really nice flows as well.

“Me By Myself” is a slower style track bout being by yourself and coming up, it isnt really all that great, but it aint bad either, just nothing I really ever bump all that much. “Have You Ever Heard” is next up and this shit is dope as fuck, mane I had almost forgot bout this song up until today, they come really clean on this track along with this banging ass beat. “Last Driveby” is track 12, its an alright cut but nothing all that special, you can at least listen to it, nothing that is too annoying or whack. The last cut is “Kill Whitey” and its a crazy ass cut, they have some wierd samples on the chorus, I really dont like it all that much.

Overall this is a solid lil release from Rap-A-Lot, if you are an old school Rap-A-Lot fan you will most definetely like this cd, it features really strong beats and nice vocals. I wouldnt recommend to pick it up new, Im sure you can find it somewhere used for cheap.
