Debut album for Lawrence "MC Pooh" Thomas, from Oakland, Cali. The production is provided by Ant Banks, which chooses light and accessible, simple and minimal funky rhythms, with some proto-g-funk synths to support the rapper's syncopated, slow, determined and irregular delivery. The album, coherent and accessible, differs from those of the main city performer for its lyrics mostly based on gangsta themes, drugs, violence and with some misogynistic shots: MC Pooh drops bars with a good smoothness flow on vibrant and fresh beats, carving out some dope tracks ("Explicit Lyrics", "Oakland", "Life of a Criminal") and a good replay value. 7/10.
