Roger "King Tee" McBride was born in Compton, California, and made a name for himself in the late 1980s by releasing tracks on Techno Hop Records and then Mack Daddy. He later signed with Capitol and released his debut album. DJ Pooh is the main guest and produces almost entirely the record, three rhythms are made by King T himself, the other guests are Big Aaron, DeRon Wright, Demetrius Clemons, Mixmaster Spade and MC Breeze.
King T makes his debut with a well above average album, spitting braggadocio lyrics on a good and funky production of DJ Pooh that focuses on samples, and he's right by sampling James Brown, George Clinton and the omnipresent song of Syl Johnson, sampled over 300 times. Overall, the album is fun, solid enough, has no obvious highlights ("Act a Fool" is possibly the best one) and has no weaknesses. 7/10.
