Debut album by Albert "Al-D" Davis, rapper from Houston, Texas, brother of DJ Screw and one of the first members of Screwed Up Click. The record is entirely produced by DJ Screw and Ronald Chandler, co-produced by Roger Baptiste, remixed by DJ Screw, mixed by DJ Screw and Mark Kidney. In addition, it features the participation of Ronnie Spencer, DJ Screw and young Houston rapper Lil Mel. The production is based on g-funk synths, dry downtempo drums and light samples, the rhythms are very slow, slowed down, almost ballad, on which the rapper spits thug bars and political extracts with little energy, little personality and a slow style, lazy. The tape is made up of a few pieces, a dozen, but they're all exaggeratedly long, none under four and a half minutes. After eight tracks, four DJ Screw remixes follow that lengthen the listening by about twenty minutes. Not essential, the first songs flow smoothly, then the tape becomes heavier and becomes more cumbersome as the minutes pass. 6/10.
