Debut album for Joseph Tom aka JT the Bigga Figga, who over the years makes a name for himself in the West Coast underground scene. The independent rapper from Frisco, Bay Area, publishes this project with his Lil Daddy Records originally on cassette, then in 1995 it's distributed again by his Get Low via Priority which starts printing CDs. JT maintains generic gangsta themes, delivering with its own syncopated and flowing style, alternating slow and rapid flows, dropping hard bars over rather soothing mobb music beats: the production breathes West Coast vibes and boasts a pleasant contrast between the relaxed and calm mood of the mobb music and the drum patterns chosen by the rapper (and producer of the tape), pretty hard, thin and heavy. His rapping is rhythm-functional and quite generic, however the album is funny, I think it will entertain fans of the gangsta and Bay Area scenes for a long time. 7/10.
