Little to note from this debut album by Oscar "Raheem" Ceres, rapper from Houston, Texas. He's one of the original member of the group Geto Boys (Ghetto Boys in the first days) along with The Sire Jukebox and Sir Rap-A-Lot, then he left the group to pursue a solo career. He takes the worst from the first new school by copying from all sides and merging it together in a confused and incomprehensible pasture. The production created by Karl Stephenson and Rap-A-Lot Records founder James Smith alternate between rhythmic, simplistic, funky rhythms with pop vibes and some reggae fillers that sounds lame: above this very confused musical choice, the rapper offers a series of random bars to compose conscious and misogynist cuts, always mediocre. Supported by Rap-A-Lot and A&M Records, it's also marketed in Canada and Europe, but without particular profit, not to mention that the choice to place a red cap on the cover seems to have caused him more than one problem. Steer clear.
