Will '94 ever stop giving? While this doesn't match the best of the best, it's another worthwhile album from the greatest era in hip hop. Mike, a member of the Geto Boys for a short period in the early '90s in replacement of Willie D, doesn't have the greatest originality, but he does sound a tad like Pac and comes with a commanding presence. The production is funky and there are lots of high points. Lyrically, it's not just brainless gangsta rap with songs like 'Daddy's Gone', featuring Scarface, where they preach the responsibility men have to their children, and give some game for young wannabe gs on 'Playa Playa'. It's well worth checking out. If some of the slightly weaker songs like 'On da 1' and 'Southern Thang' were more engaging this would be a 4/5.
