While it can be bought as a standalone album, this is basically a bonus disc that came with 'Papers' if you bought the CD version, so I didn't expect a lot. Most of the songs are worthy though. There are one or two with slight mastering issues like 'Campaign' for some reason and others that are on 'Still on My Hoody Hu$tle: The Executive Suite Edition', but the 'Gun and a Vest' remixes add to the version on Papers Vol One, and many others are just signature Rock with catchy hooks, hard beats and great rapping. The man keeps 'em coming. Best Tracks: Git Down or Lay Down (Remix), Holla at a Playa, Dat Check, Gun and a Vest (Original Version), Love How Dey Hate

Not as good as some of T-Rock's recent albums. Less than one minute shy of filling a CD up you may expect some filler. There are a few but there are still plenty of good songs though with T-Rock's signature brilliant rapping being featured. I don't know why 'Controlling Me' is on here though. This is like the third release Rock has put it on. 3.5 for now. Best Tracks: Tunnel Vision, Get Down or Lay Down, No Other Way, Blowing Big, Bob Marley, Good Times

Given the title and something T-Rock posted about this album a while back I expected more lyrics about his come up, his beefs and more introspective stuff. There is some, but most of it's scattered in the skits about T-Rock being in competition with T.I., his pioneering of mixtapes and about him being called a racist. Despite that though this is another solid Rock album. I just can't dislike this guy in the m.i.c. Great rapping, catchy hooks and good production. He still hasn't made an album as good as any from his 2009-2012 run of 'War Wounds: The Burning Book Chapter I' to '420 / 12' though. Best Songs: Burn It Down, Anyway, I'm Moving On

This was released the same time as 'Payback (Karma)', so it's practically a double album and this is the slightly stronger disc of the two. I'll try not to repeat myself from other reviews, but in my opinion T-Rock is one of the greatest rappers of all time. He commands the microphone and has everything a rapper needs to be great. He hinted at retiring a while back, thankfully that didn't happen. These 10 songs are just what T-Rock more often than not provides-Brilliant rapping with good production backing him. Topically it's mostly the usual. Brag rap, gettin' money and the last three songs touch religion. On some of his albums there is more variety but he is such a good rapper that I don't mind some lyrical repetition. 'Amen' is one of his best that I have listened to 60 times on Spotify alone, add to that when I haven't had a LastFM connection and it would easily be over 100. I'll always remember this album as I listened to it when I was in the gym recovering from a fracture. Fire rapping as usual. T-Rock continues to hit home runs. Beats: ★★★★ Bars: ★★★★☆ Best Tracks: Payback, I’m the Plug, Amen

Another few months, another T-Rock project. Here we have another collab album, following up from 'Bullet Klub'. The beats on this are mostly strong, high tempo, southern trap beats, produced by Mossberg, who T-Rock always sounds brilliant over, and provides enjoyable production from beginning to end. Dark Cappa (pronounced Cay-pa) is an acquired taste. I enjoy him more here than on some of his past material I've heard, but he is still by far the weaker rapper here. He has a gritty voice and doesn't flow as well as Rock. Cappa also only handles two of the hooks making T-Rock the predominantly heard artist on this project which is a definite positive. I do like when rappers trade bars on collab albums but again here it's just you do a verse, I'll do a verse, meaning it lacks that feel of authentic collaboration. Dark Cappa is the weak point, but he isn't weak enough to ruin this by any means and T-Rock is still yet to phone it in, always sounding passionate from the booth. Beats: ★★★☆ Bars (T-Rock): ★★★★☆ Bars (Dark Cappa): ★★☆ Best Tracks: Rise and Grind, When I Pull Up, Money Bags, Born to be a Hustler, Woke
