If you like a lot of previous stuff from Daz like me, you'll like this one, if you don't then stay away. Obviously with Daz you are getting rap to tap your foot to as opposed to being blown away by complex lyrics.

I wrote a review after a couple of listens of this album, but after listening to his latest album, 'Public Enemiez', I got in the mood for more Daz and this has grown on me. The problem is that this album drops off in the middle, however, it has some good tracks toward the end which I've found with another listen. There are some bad tracks like 'I'm From the Hood', 'I'm tha Dopeman', and while tracks nine to thirteen aren't horrible, they are fairly skippable, but there is some good Daz on offer. An album shouldn't need to take a long time for you to enjoy it, but there is more here than I thought. Best Tracks: My Summer Vacation, Squeeze, Meal Ticket, Blaze Up the Weed, Regretz, My Wayz R Shady

As I say in many Daz reviews, you'll know what to expect on this if you've heard anything from Daz. Some good hard gangsta rap and some west coast vibey beats as well. As with his previous album, 'Public Enemiez', there is quality control here, with only ten tunes making it an easy album to play. Standouts are probably the hard opener 'Gott Damn!!!' and the title track 'Matter of Dayz' which would have fit perfectly on the recent Dogg Pound album '100 Wayz'. As I mentioned, if you are a fan you'll find something on this. Best Tracks: Gott Damn!!!, Matter of Dayz, We Don't Die We Multiply, Pussy Azz Nigga

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

Prince's main rival in the pop world was no doubt Michael Jackson back in the day and with an album like this, you can see why. For consistency, you could probably rate it above Thriller. While the 'Synth-iness' of it does sound a tad dated unlike Michael's older records, it's still brilliant. For me 'Darling Nikki' is the only skippable one of the lot with the other eight being some of the best tracks you'll hear to come out of the '80s. Best Tracks: Let's Go Crazy, The Beautiful Ones, Computer Blue, When Doves Cry, I Would Die 4 U, Baby I'm a Star, Purple Rain
