A disappointing album from my favourite rapper currently doing it. There are only a few tracks among these that are really memorable. The opener 'Blast N Bail' is great where T-Rock asks for a gangster beat to ride to and then lines from 'Slang & Serve/ATL' play - one of his classic songs - that loops throughout the song. The next track is a lackluster tune, and while 'Full Throttle' is an improvement it can be hard to hear T-Rock on the first verse, followed by other rappers on the second and third because he is so much better than everyone else. The verses on the following 'Watch Me Juug', particularly the third verse is volcanic. T-Rock flows like a hot knife through butter and makes this one of the most worthwhile tracks here. Next there is a remix of 'I Just Might' that doesn't add much to one of the weaker songs from from his great album, I Grind, I Hustle'. 'Makin Easy Money' has some 1970s funk vibes and is a strong song. 'Wanna Be High' is another strong track that is followed by another remix, this time from 'Patriot Games'. Here there isn't another rapper, but the beat is different. The original is better though. The Rock Solid Mafia posse penultimate track is forgettable, and then the album finishes off with T-Rock telling us all about the upcoming music coming out from the label including his solo 'Papers: Volume One'. Overall this is pretty much hit or miss, with the pattern almost perfectly being good song, average song. Best Tracks: Blast N Bail, Watch Me Juug, Makin Easy Money, Wanna Be High

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
