This was Tilas follow up sophomore effort to his classic debut album, 1988s 'Act A Fool'.

But 1990s 'At Your Own Risk' is no where near as solid as his debut. The material is a bit patchy. DJ Pooh doesnt really hook Tee up with many good beats. The album has its moments, the title track and 'Diss You' are cool, but the highlight is the classic & catchy single 'Played Lika Piano' with Ice Cube, which rides a super cool piano riff.

Overall of King Tees 4 albums he released in his heyday (1988-95) this is the weakest. His 1993 follow up 'Tha Triflin Album' was a strong album, but 1994s super cool, New York-flavoured 'IV Life' is his greatest IMO. This album is strictly for King Tee completists...

4.0 out of 5 stars The best West Coast Rapper, February 11, 2009

By	Stinky Fingers "Veteran Roughneck" (Ft. Collins, CO) - See all my reviews

A lot of people don't even know about King Tee and he is the best West Coast rapper of all time. You have to get his entire collection to appreciate his evolution. He brought out the Alkaholics and introduced a few other west coast rappers. This album is probably his worst, but still part of the time when rap was full of stories that you can imagine in your mind.
