Debut album for Corey "The Grouch" Scoffern, rapper from Oakland, California, later a member of the Living Legend group. Released by local label Outhouse, the tape seems to come from one of the outlying districts of Memphis rather than Oaktown: The Grouch, unique author of the production, brings together haunting jazz loops on scarce and minimal drums, providing a slow, not very technical, a little too stiff rap. Musically, the tape is acceptable even if the rap doesn't impress, it's a listen that would be strong at 20 minutes and lose some of its reach totaling around three quarters of an hour. The disc features the debut of several future Living Legend boys, such as PSC aka Luckyiam.PSC, BFAP aka Sunspot Junz and Murs. 6/10.
