First studio album for Dwayne "Pizzo" Tucker, rapper born and raised in Oaktown, California. Pizzo moves to Suisun City, signs with AWOL Records and recorded an album with the label, before leaving the AWOL and signing with Strong Island.
In 1995, he releases his debut. The production is handled by himself, Rodney, Sam Bostic, CMD, Parker, Squirt, Ken Franklin and JT the Bigga Figga. Guests are Ton, El Kaye, Lil Ric, Bizzy B, No Face Phantom, D-Day, Ironic, JT the Bigga Figga and Mad Dog. The record starts well, there are acceptable drums, almost accessible squeaky g-funk synths, relaxed and melodic funky samples and decent rap. The tape, also supported by the guests' performances, breathes autonomously until about halfway, then collapses definitively. On the bravado-gangsta poor rap of Pizzo emerges the economic and mediocre production of the boys: the drum is too weak, the samples are questionable and scarce, the disc no longer runs, extending around the hour with an excessive number of tracks, seventeen. Not recommended. 5/10.
