If you have not heard the 'Cocaine' mixtape which apparently came from Z-Ro's current label issues, then you will get more out of this than if you have, as there are quite a number of recycled songs off that. I think there are also some old lines/chorus' used on some songs, hence this feels more like a compilation in a way than a brand new album from Z-Ro. It's still not a bad listen if you're a fan of the man and is everything you expect from Z-Ro apart from a few more real classic tracks. Best Tracks: Never Let It Go, Denzel Washington (Remix), Blast Myself, We Don't Speed

Mr. Consistency has done it again. The Mo City Don has created another worthwhile southern release continuing his drug titled themed albums. Lyrically there isn't much new regarding the topics, but Ro is enjoyable whether spitting or singing (which he does a fair bit of), most of the beats are interesting enough, and the hooks will have you singing along fairly quickly. Well worth checking out if you're a fan of Ro-bot. Best Tracks: Real or Fake, Ro & Bun, Never Had Love, H-Town Kinda, 3 Way Relationship, When We Ride

Listening to this album for the first time I had the feeling that Z-Ro may not have been completely involved in the production of the album. My first hint was that he hasn't promoted it at all through his Twitter account, the second is the rehashed lyrics and songs that had been on his mixtapes, the third is that it doesn't sound as polished as most of Z-Ro's albums-It feels a bit like 'Heroin' does, which also came after some label issues-, and then Ro confirmed my suspicions on his Twitter page - "Appreciate the love on Angel Dust from everybody. I honestly don't kno what's on it tho. All I kno is that's my last rap a lot album." In saying this, Z-Ro fans will still enjoy this album, as it is pretty much what we come to expect from Tha King of Tha Ghetto minus a few more brilliant tunes. Best Tracks: These Days, Truth Is, Love It, Phuq With Me, Time, Today

From what I can tell this is another J. Prince album. Z-Ro, who is a favourite of mine, has had issues with Rap-A-Lot for years now, he hasn't mentioned this album anywhere and overall the quality and collection of songs is un-Ro like-largely with there being too many chick/sex songs for one album. For mine, there is also too much singing from Z-Ro and not enough hard spitting. Maybe some were going to be for the planned 'Rother Vandross Sings the Blues' album. It goes okay but there's no great stuff here. Best Tracks: Exotic Girl, Mo City, P.A.N.

I'm a big fan of Z-Ro. It put a smile on my face seeing him all over the net doing his first press run for album, particularly given the label issues he's had. While I didn't love his last album, he is one of the most consistent artists there has been and has his own distinctive style which has no doubt helped his longevity. I'll start with the negatives. My main problem with this is the subject matter. There is just too much repetition. Particularly if you've heard anything else he has done. Too many bars/songs about the fake, the haters, and 'bitches'. I think that lets this album down. The one song that varies the most is about the loved ones he has lost, 'Since We Lost Y'all', but I think the production is severely lacking there. The other is the production. Apart from maybe some songs on 'Crack' that are fire, I don't think I would say Z-Ro has had fire beats over his career overall, but there isn't a lot that stands out here. The third is probably the singing/rapping. I love his melodic approach to this and the mixture of his deep singing with the rapping but at times I'd like a bit more rapping. He often spits for a bar or two but then croons to finish. I want some more 'Guerilla Till I Die' spitting > [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vmo5AKUIUOw,2:55]. But I guess 'New Shit' is directed at me for that comment. The good. Much has been touched on, but the original style he provides. Among the repetitive themes, there are lots of nice bars, some with a humorous vibe. His remake of sorts of 'Many Men' by 50 Cent, 'Women Men', is a really strong track and I hear he has some more remakes in the works. While I have bemoaned the production not being fantastic, overall it's a consistent release as Z-Ro's usually are. 3.5-3 Best Tracks: Devil Ass City, My Money, Hostage, Women Men
