Phillip Allen and Adam Hicks take their respective names Mac-10 and Ad Kapone and emerge from the East Palo Alto, Bay Area scene, with a debut record that has remained under the radar of West Coast gangsta rap. The production is done by TC, the guy keeps a local sound, skinny and simple, generic frantic funky rhythms, while the delivery of this duo is syncopated and smooth, sometimes quick, good, to spit gangsta bars a little above average for the scene of 1992. The album has no weak songs, but neither classics nor bangers of any kind and the choice to include long tracks of six and seven minutes, kills the fluidity of the record. 6/10.
