I've only heard one song before I copped this album with Ya'Boy on it, and I was impressed and saw this pretty cheap (I would have gotten it earlier if I knew he ahad an album out), and I was highy impressed. The young San Francisco, CA native drops straight heat on this album. With 20 songs you get alot of material so I was skeptical there would be some filler tracks, but of the 20, 2 are almost classics, 4 are ok, the other 14 are good, the majority being real good. Guests are a little heavy, on a little over half the songs, but with 20 songs, you still get a lot of Ya' Boy. Production is nice as well, and mostly from people I'm not real familiar with. Davey D & J-moe, Droop-E, and King Cydal all do 3 songs, Sean T does 2, Rick Rock, Cozmo,, Rob Lo, Mater, Cello, Keez, Razor, Rashaad Wiggins, Tony Butcha all do 1 song. A must have album and nice to hear some new fire coming out of the Bay Area.
