First disk by Rodney-O & Joe Cooley, Los Angeles trio composed by Rodney Oliver from Riverside, DJ Joe Cooley from Compton and Jeffrey "General Jeff" Page from Los Angeles. After the intro, there's just a series of rhythmic beats and plaintive delivery with weak functional hooks and some scratches with the drum machine that screams "stop!!!!": significant "Let's Have Some Fun", the simplistic production is probably also decent in its constant pounding, but the delivery of the duo is so flat as to make this track skippable.
The rest is performed on autopilot and without a soul, easily forgotten on dated and generic rhythms even for the year, with the guys who are desperate for attention both from the public and from the scene itself and the other rappers on the circuit ("Nobody Disses Me"), building a West Coast effort that throws its eye on the southern world here. It seems out of place "Everlasting Bass", when samples from two classics ("Daisy Lady" by 7th Wonder & "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little Bit More Baby" by Barry White) are united to give life to the best extract of the group.
Released by LA electro label Egyptian Empire Records with West Coast Record distribution, leaded by the hit "This Is for the Homies" (#17 in the rap chart) the vinyl enters in the Billboard 200, encouraging the guys to pursue careers in the industry and eventually achieving more success in Florida than in their native California and becoming something of a pioneer group in the nascent genre of Miami bass.
