FINALLY picked this one up. Had a nice stack of em at tower in mountain view.

Alright im finna start doing reviews VERY in depth.. Tell me if ya'll like this style better. I'm doing everything by percentages and the summary will come straight from the track by track points. (check the numbers)

"M" = music, beat, production.. whatever you wanna call it
"L" = Lyrical content, the actual words
"D" = Delivery of vocals


1.Into *Produced by Taz-Twisted*
Cool little beat, slow paced with some trippy strings. Reese just does you every album average intro
M = 7.5/10 L = n/a D = n/a
------------------
2.Full Metal Jackets*Produced by Mac Pacino*
Bouncy bangin beat. Gets you head bobbin fast. This one is am up tempo gangsta track. Reese spits vocals representing. Good start to the album.
M = 9.5/10 L = 7.5/10 D = 9/10
------------------
3. Dirty Work pt. 2 (feat. Convic) *Produced by Taz - Twisted*
Cool track. Kick back type shit. Piano and strings that work well togiether. This is the track about hoes. Reese spits some playa stories. Chorus is cool.
M = 7/10 L = 9/10 D = 9/10
------------------
4.Bacc Seat Ridahs (feat. Silence Loc) *Produced by Larry K*
Hard ass track. Beat is knockin. Song's about the fake who claim to be down. Reese gets his point across with clever spits. Silence came cool as well.
M = 9.5/10 L = 10/10 D = 9/10
------------------
5.Bitch Like This (feat. Vell) *Produced by Taz - Twisted*
Tight track. Beat comes in with some space age sounds. Once again Reese represemts and speaks on some bitch made folks.
M = 9.5/10 L = 9/10 D = 9/10
------------------
6.East Side Anthem (Feat. Jaz & Gman)Produced by *Mac Pacino*
DEFINETLY AN ANTHEM. This is the summer track. The song you throw on at a BBQ. OR at the park kickin back. Got that bay area west coast sound on the beat. Cool westcoastish singing hook. This track just represents ESSJ. Every verse comes hard.
M = 10/10 L = 9/10 D = 9/10
------------------
7.Real Zaggin 9162408(Featuring Kapital Boyz) *Produced by Taz - Twisted*
Beat is cool. A little repetitive.. could use some more siwtch-ups. Vocals come cool. Just a represent track.
M = 6/10 L = 7.5/10 D = 8/10
------------------
8.Independents Day (featuring Young 211 & Convic) *Produced by Taz - Twisted*
Ughhh. This is my FAVORITE track off the album. This is the song that got me to buy the album after hearing it from the dugout site. Beat knocks. Spits REAL SHIT. Any indie artist can relate to this shit. "I give a fuck about a soundscan/Im pushin product indipendent fuck the middle man/ and when i drop im going ghetto platinum/Im movin units all across the land/ I want the money in my fuckin had."
The features came cool, but Reese was most on topic. But the whole track is hard. Could use a little more switchups in the beat
but all in all this one is hard.
M = 9.5/10 L = 10/10 D = 9.5/10
------------------
9.Penntrolude
Just G-Man conversation.
M = n/a L = n/a D = n/a
------------------
10.We'z Enemiez *produced by Errelevent Beats*
Beat's cool.. I've heard some of errelevants other stuff and i'm not feelin this one as much. Just because of the organ they got in it.. sounds kindy corny too me. But other than that it's tight. Verse's are all hard tho.
M = 6.5/10 L = 9/10 D = 9/10
------------------
11.10 Days (feat. Vell) *produced by Larry K*
This track's a some deep shit.. About his cousin who died 10 days before his birthday from a cop. Sounds like they were in oposite sides of affiliation. Real shit is spoke on this one.
M = 9/10 L = 10/10 D = 10/10
------------------
12.At Odds Until Even (Feat. Mr Kee)*produced by Taz - Twisted*
Gangsta shit. Mob beat. Mr. Kee on the chorus. Track's is hard.
M = 9.5/10 L = 8.5/10 D = 8.5/10
------------------
13.If You Ridin, Come On (feat. Sic City Hustlaz) *produced by Taz - Twisted*
KNOCKIN beat. Somethin to RIDE to. Gangsta shit. Whover's on the last verse RIPS it. Tore that shit apart.
M = 9.5/10 L = 9/10 D = 9/10
------------------
14.SuperSuckaKillaz (feat. Doggmatic & Mac Pacino) *produced by Larry K*
M = 10/10 L = 9/10 D = 9/10
Once again Reese exposes the fake suckas. Track is tight.
------------------
15.Love Letters (feat. BigShea & Playa Rae) *Produced by Rence P. playa rae, and taz - twisted*
Nah.. this aint letters to felines.. its love letters to the ghetto. Took the hook from an RnB track. Every verse on here was tight. Speakin up about the ghetto. Track is tight because the verses are fromed as if it was written to a female, but directed towards the ghetto.
M = 10/10 L = 10/10 D = 9/10
------------------

All in all this album is tight. Defenitely not a dissapointed. Spits from an OG who's got some stories to tell and some shit to speak on. Not you average constant threats spit through the album like most gangsta shit.. just some real talk and representing. Definetly a solid album. I'd suggest you go swoop this.
M = 8.1/10 L = 9/10 D = 9/10
