Not near his first EP, 'I Miss 1994', but it's another solid EP from P.A and probably better than his previous one, Rhythmicism Blvd. There is some good jazz-rap on offer here and hopefully, he is saving his best for a future studio album which would be great. Best Tracks: The Beginning, Melodically Vibrant, Last Days, Sunshine Pain.

Great beats and good flow. Has a sort of Jazz rap old school production feel to the tracks. Maybe that’s why it’s called I Miss 1994… The only real negative is that some songs sound pretty similar. A very enjoyable EP though. Best Tracks: Incistroduction, Rap Author (Incise Remix), Rap Author, On Our Way, Drift

WC is great but listening to these beats you wouldn't think this was a '95 release. Many sound like they could have come from the '80s. I haven't checked out their other album yet but this almost sounds like a WC solo. There is little heard from other rappers for an album that comes from a group. Not enough high moments for a higher rating. Best Tracks: Feel Me, The Creator

When I heard about this collaboration, my first thoughts were, "it's about time." WC and Daz have been staples in the hip hop scene forever, being involved in great hip hop for over two decades. Unfortunately, you just know though that in this ageist hip hop community, that it will go largely overlooked. Looking at the credits, surprisingly Daz didn't produce anything on this. I guess he just wanted to stick to writing and rapping. Instead, it's shared by a handful of producers with DJ Battlecat and Beanz N Kornbread being the most well known of them to me. The album is what I expected it to be. Enjoyable rapping from two of the most underrated from the west, switching up their vocals, and who still sound like they love doing it. The beats are a small letdown though. While all the thirteen songs here bounce, with 'Late Nite' being laced with classic west coast vocal samples, none are extraordinary. It would have been great if they got Soopafly or another producer who Daz particularly has a great rapport with to give them a beat. A very solid 50 minutes of west coast rap from two vets nonetheless. Best Tracks: Stay Out the Way, When the Shit Goes Down, Late Night, Dubs in the Air

Gold Songs: West Coast Voodoo, Jack and the Bean Stalk, Paranoid, Guilty By Affiliation, This Is Los Angeles, 80’s Babies. Silver Songs: Crazy Toones 4 President, If You See a Bad Bitch, Look At Me, Side Dick, Gang Injunctions, Keep It 100. Bronze Songs: Dodgeball, Addicted to It. Lyrically, it's nothing special (mostly just gangster rap), but Dub-C has a great flow and mic presence, the featuring artists work well and I think the production, on the whole, is dope, it's just a good album to bounce to. Also, another good thing is that the songs flow on from each other - particularly during the first half of the album, where the tracks just seem to continue without gaps. Even the worst songs are not too bad. The legend, Ice Cube, is scattered throughout the album as well and adds his personality to the album. WC's best album so far in my opinion.
