First effort for Shon Adams, the first artist to sign and to release both a single both an album for No Limit, after the founder of the label Master P and his group TRU. The production is funky, hard, with hard and pure drum machine, skinny tight syncopated and pounding, and rhythms provided by EA Ski itself and CMT, their sound full of synthesizers approaches mobb music. While EA Ski's rapping adapts to the chosen musical carpet, his delivery is slow and flowing and his gangsta hardcore bars allow him to solidly hold this long EP of over half an hour. It's a fun album, fast and smooth, with no skit or filler nor bangers, with a lot of braggadocio and some street history, overall, it's a nice qualitative effort pretty unusual for the No Limit, but usual for the nineties Bay Area scene. 7/10.
