This begins really well with three songs that have a different sound that all hit in different ways. From 'Lovers', the quality slips though as the sound gets softer. The tail of the album picks up the quality but never reaches great heights. Ace can sound preachy at times. Beats: ★★★ Rapping/Bars: ★★★ Hooks: ★★★ Best Tracks: OMG, Energy, Feelin’ You, Money

I'm a fan of Bill Burr (director and co-writer of this movie), and while I agree with the 'anti-woke' messages being pushed, this movie is just like so many with boring woke messages and jokes scattered throughout them. The plot isn't interesting or funny enough. One of the funniest moments was the guy on the electric scooter crashing into the trash at the end of the movie... Just watch his stand up.

A short self-produced project from Daz that continues his run of decent projects. For only seven tracks, plus a remix with a Kurupt verse, everything is fairly bangin' and this feels even shorter than it is, but at the same time, nothing is too memorable. I have to say that that yell vocal effect he has used for a while is really beginning to grate! Best Tracks: If U Don’t Know, Molly Whop, U Can’t Stop Me

This one begins decently with one hardcore hip hop/crunk song after another. From 'Hate Ourselves' the production gets more soulful, the lyrics more conscious and this makes the second half of the album better than the first. It's an easy listen from front to back with 'For the Streets' being the only weak moment for me. As a rapper, Bone Crusher doesn't do anything to make him stand out.

I think this is better than his 2004 effort, 'The Ridah'. It's slightly more consistent; however, there are still some average moments with more of a mainstream sound throughout the album than most of what he released before, some of the hooks could be better, and it never reaches great heights. It begins well enough but falls away from 'She Got Hydraulics on It'. One of the best moments is 'Cold of the Streets' that has elements of the production that reminds me of a well known song that I can't pinpoint at this moment.
