In 1995, South Los Angeles trio Kausion signed with Ice Cube's Lench Mob Records and released their only studio album. The production is created by Ice Cube, Kausion, Bud'da, D'Maq, Lay Law, and Eric Murray. K-Dee is the only accredited guest on the record, B-Real is featured on the last track, while Ice Cube does the intro and has a line in the chorus of the opening cut. The tape consists of 17 tracks, 5 skits and about 50 minutes total: the production is simple, bouncy, funky, West Coast, it is mainly based on the use of samples by George Clinton. The lyrics cover topics directly related or bordering on gangsta, performed with an energetic, decent rapping style. The album starts excessively strong with "What You Wanna Do?", then immediately drops in quality and doesn't revolutionize, from any angle you want to watch. Distributed by Navarre, the CD reached the top 40 in the rap chart, later the group disbanded. 6/10.
