The only record of a man who in 1990 has already made himself known as a rapper obscured by Richie Rich in the excellent effort "41Fivin". The music set is established by J.E.D., co-produced by Darrin "Digital-D" Harris, Kirk "Kickin' Kirk" Crumpler and "Daryl "DJ Daryl" Anderson.
Here he's alone, with a pair of lifesavers branded 415 and represented by the production of J.E.D. and by the lyrics written by Richie Rich himself. The rhythms are not exciting, J.E.D. provides a simple and minimal, tight and hard, frenetic beats, with a hard and bare drum machine in the background, D-Loc plays decently above these vibes, often functional to the rhythms, but nothing more.
Lady Ace livens up the album at the end in a track that differs from the others for the back and forth delivery ("Ace in the Hole"), and in the next song, which the female guest herself introduces with a flowing rapping. It's no coincidence, however, that the best track of the disc is the instrumental with a composed drum machine and dope piano in a simple, minimal, jazzy soulful-ethereal beat.
Distributed by the same label of 415, Big League Records, this effort is faithfully represented by the cover, name of the author top left, name of the album at the bottom, figure of the author filling the whole image with a normal jacket that looks as if to say, is all quite generic.
Rating: 6/10.
