I dig the album as well. Diversity is the main thing this album brings to the bay. The production and "radioness" of this ablum is much better than Charles Jay's " Dream Returned". Quick summary of my favorite tracks:
4) "Tribute" - I like this little ode to rap and Too Short.
5) "Summer Daze" - What can I say about this track? I can really hear the improvement made to the rough cut I heard before--it's a LOT better. Flow is improved from the first line. RADIO HIT.
6) "Man's World" - I think this is my favorite track right here. The James Brown sample is NICE and the lyrics are better with a message to those it applies to.
7) "Move" - Fast-paced track w/ a nice baseline and matches the energy of Charles Jay.
9) "Hooked" - Yeah it's an interlude but it SLAPS.......hahah
10) "Your Girl" - A CHANGE! Jazzy soul on a rap album? Desi drops smoothness here.
11) "Rasta Boy" - All I can say is it grew on me.
12) "Figure It Out" - I like this track a lot but I got a few words for the producer... Make the cello (or whatever) throughout the track and take out that rattle.
13) "Money" - VERY smooth of Wallstreet, I didn't think I'd ever hear Jake come like that.
The album costs a WHOPPING $7.99! Go to
