Finally Z-ro has came out with another album after this classic solo album and the classic debut album of the Guerilla Maab but my worst fears have came true, he switched, he is now with Screwed Up Click which isnt bad but he cant rap with these niggas, his style is totally different. But he actually maintained fairly well throughout this album even though he is capable of much more.

The first cut is tight as hell "Nigga From The Hood" he is singing in the chorus and flowing crunk in the verses, sounds like good ole Z-ro. The second track is where the beats go to hell, this track along with alot of the other songs have way too much shit going on with the beats, Z-ro's lyrics are tight on this cut but the beat fuck its up. Here comes another crunk ass song "The Dirty 3rd" man Z-ro flows his ass off on this cut, and the beat is banging also, Wood also flows on this cut. Song #4 is pretty tight also, its kinda a slower song but still is crunk, but I dont understand what he is talking bout, he is saying that he will never get radio play no more, yeah right, now he is with them he will get it all the time.

Track 5 is just like one of his kinda a remix of a song that was on Guerilla Maab "Fondren and Main", it is alright but it dont touch the original song, he has a female rapping in this cut with him, Z-ro gets off on this cut. Now this is another remix of a song he had on Papa Reu's album, this song was much tighter on Papa Reu's album but it is still pretty tight on here. "3rd Coast" is a coast with Din-Din and Grace, I aint really feelin this cut really. The next cut Z-ro sounds just like 2 Pac, this is a crunk ass song, its one of the only songs that Z-ro gets deep into like he used to. After that is "Gonna Get Easier" this song is alright, its kinda slow but it aint all that really. The next cut is "Screwed Up" it has an alright beat and some good lyrics by Z-ro, but it still aint like a normal crunk ass song that you would expect from him, its more that Cash Money balla balla shit.

Here goes another slow song, but it is alright, he has a tight ass flow here but the beat is kinda jacked up again, I wish Rakesh would have done all the production, these other people fucked it up. This song is just like a song from Z-ro's first album "My Life" it goes "this is myyyy life." Track 12 is 'Lets Chill' its talking bout macking to some bitches, its pretty tight for that type of song. The next 2 cuts are kinda whack, nothing really to bump. On track 15 he flows really good but the beat dont match his lyrics, I know I keep singing this same tune but shit, the beats are terrible. Track 16 is one of my favorite cuts on this album, it is at least creative, the beats are good also, he is doing his Reagge which he didnt do enough on this album, he also sings and flows on this cut, it is a crunk ass smoking song.

Overall this album is pretty good if you can get past the beats, and Z-ro's flows help you do that pretty well cuz he always has tight ass lyrics and can flow so crunk. I would recommend this album to everyone, its not even half as good as the first Guerilla Maab or the first Z-ro, pick those up first if you dont have em but this is a good album for the collection also.
