Daz is back and has used the film of the same name (minus the incorrect spelling) to name his album as Jay-Z did with American Gangster. It's no surprise given his stage name is taken after the infamous gangster John Dillinger. It's fair to say though that this has been done with much less fanfare.
While most of Daz's albums haven't been classics, I've enjoyed most of his stuff. He has an underrated flow and each album generally has some bangin' beats.
Lyrically, I don't think Public Enemiez has anything to do with the film and a lot of it is your fairly general gangsta lyrics particularly the chick tracks toward the end of the album. However, he does talk a touch more about his life than past material including on the tracks '2nd to None', 'Tell Me What You Got' & 'Life Stagez', and a couple of other tracks are about gang violence like 'Tear Drops' and 'In My Neighbourhood'.
Overall, it's an improvement on his last two albums with Daz using more quality control for a shorter, less filler containing album which makes for an album you can pretty much play the whole way through. If you like past Daz stuff, and beats with a bit of a west coast vibe, try this.
Best Tracks: You Let Me Down, Tell Me What You Got, Life Stagez, 2nd To None, Tear Drops, My #1 Girl (beat reminds me of sumthang that I can't recall at the moment...), Public Enemiez
