Cali Iz Active 2006 Album

Review
It's rare that this happens with an album, but I enjoy the middle portion of this more than anything else. The lead single, 'Cali Iz Active', has never really done it for me, but from track five 'It's Craccin' All Night' has an enjoyable dark atmospheric feel, 'Slow Your Roll' is bangin' and 'Hard on a Hoe', while not brilliant, is so ridiculously misogynistic it's funny. 'It's All Hood' is a nice vibey track that DPG albums always contain, and then the album rides out to 'She Likes Dat' (I don't have the bonus tracks) being somewhat inconsistent but featuring some reasonable tunes. The biggest difference this has from any other Dogg Pound album is that Daz who normally has a hand in most of the beats, doesn't produce anything on this. Battlecat, L.T. Moe, Swizz Beat, J-Dub, Soopafly, Ryan Leslie, Rick Rock, David Banner, 1500 or Nothin', Bangladesh and Jazze Pha are amongst the producers who provide beats for this release. In saying this though, it still doesn't venture too far from what they've done and it still feels west coast, it is though a vast improvement from the generic beats that are on their previous album. There ain't anything too special but it's worth checking out for fans. Best Tracks: It's Craccin' All Night, Slow Your Roll, Keepin' It Gangsta, It's All Hood, Don't Sweat It, Thrown Up da C
