1) "We're Back" (intro) Da Ridaz ft. Spade, Crash
Just a short into with some talking about West Coast Mafia records.

2) "Street Life" Phats Bossi, Killa Tay
Bosko lays down a clean beat for this song. C-Bo starts it off with a solid flow. Phats Bossi comes next with a solid verse. Killa Tay spits the best verse to me. A coo beat mixed with some solid mic work make this a good track overall, I'm feeling it.

3) "We Ain't Fuckin Wit Y'all" Ampichino, Cyco, Mike P
Rhythem D lays down a coo beat for this one. C-Bo handles the hook to start the song off with. Ampichino has the first verse and spits some coo lyrics. The second verse is plain weak, but the last verse is tight. C-Bo just does the hook and doesn't have a verse. An ok song, would have been better if the second verse was taken out.

4) "Break Bread" Frank Nitty
This is the same as track 6 from the Desert Eagle album. Frank Nitty starts this track off with a solid verse. The beat by Mike Mosley is alright, but nothing special. C-Bo has the second verse and spits some coo lyrics. Frank Castle has a second verse to finish the track off with and he also handles the hook with some good lyrics. A pretty good track overall, although I think it would have been a lot better as a C-Bo solo song.

5) "Hata Nigga" (skit) ft. Nicole, Spade, Crash
A bit of a lengthy skit with a girl talking about West Coast Mafia at a party. Could have been done without.

6) "Fo My Real Niggaz" Japori, Yobe
This is track 2 from the Desert Eagle album. A decent beat by Mike Mosley, but nothing special. C-Bo starts it off with an alright verse. Japori has the second verse and comes alright on the mic. Yobe has the best verse to finish the track with. He also comes with some good lyrics on the hook. A decent track at best, but nothing special.

7) "Story to Tell" ft. Ampichino, Beesy, Sincere, Young Ive
No C-Bo on this song. The beat by Mike P is alright and has a slow pace to it. The flows are on point by all four rappers. A coo laid back message type of track talking about some ghetto life issues and other hardships in life. A coo song overall, wish C-Bo was on it though.

8) "What You Need"
This is track 9 off of the Desert Eagle album. It also features Aobie, but doesn't list him on the track listing. A tight ass beat for this song by Mike Mosley. Aobie comes tight on this one along with C-Bo. I think C-Bo and Aobie's styles fit together pretty well and I'm feeling both of them on the mic. A pretty tight track overall. A good track to bump.

9) "Smoke Break"
This is track 8 from Desert Eagle. Just a Mike Mosley instrumental track. A nice feature, for the album, but the beat isn't that great.

10) "Gangsta Shit" ft. Swoop G
Finally a song that I have not heard yet. C-Bo and Swoop G put it down on this song. The beat by Lo Kei and Pierce is tight as fuck and gets your head moving. C-Bo has the first verse and rips up the mic with a coo laid back flow. Swoop G comes tight on his verse too. A tight ass song overall, probably the best song on the album.

11) "Hell on These Streets" ft. Ampichino, Young Rob, Bossi, Fetti
Again no C-Bo on this song, but the others come tight on the mic. Kev lays down a solid beat that has a good pace to it. The flows are pretty good for the most part. Again I wish C-Bo was on this one, I think the beat would have fit his delivery well. Still a pretty good song overall.

12) "We Jus Crip'n (remix)" ft. Daz
The same verses from the original except that the beat by Wino replaces the original beat. I like the OG better than this one a lot.

13) "Thuggin Hard" All American Hustler ft. Anomimous, 151, Mack Trip, Doe
Again no C-Bo for this track. Todd Brown puts down a clean beat for this song. I like the hook the most out of anything, but there are some coo verses to listen to. A pretty good song overall, one that I don't think C-Bo's style would have fit in.

14) "WCM Game" (skit) ft. Spade
Just another useless skit.

15) "Hate the Game" ft. Cognito, D-Buck
This is track 3 from Desert Eagle. An ok beat by Mike Mosley. C-Bo starts it off with a good verse that I'm feeling. I'm pretty sure it's Cognito on the second and third verses. He comes pretty good on the mic, but his style doesn't fit well with Bo. D-Buck handles the hook with some nice vocals. A decent track overall.

16) "Holla" ft. Spade, Butta Phly, Bleu Davinci
Some nice singing on this song to a coo beat by Wino. Butta Phly puts down some coo flows as Bleu Davinci lays down some nice female vocals on the mic. A pretty good song, but again no C-Bo.

17) "Worldwide.Mob MF" ft. Yukmouth, Young Meek, Speedy
This is my favorite track on the whole album. The beat by Rhythem D is clean and gets your head moving. C-Bo starts it off with a tight verse. Young Meek puts it down on his verse, Speedy comes tight and Yukmouth always sounds good with C-Bo. The best song on the album, no doubt about it, really one of the only good songs on the album too. A tight song worth bumping.

18) "WWCM Radio" ft. Crash
Crash talks more about West Coast Mafia. He talks about some albums coming out soon for West Coast Mafia.

19) "My Life Style"
A coo beat by Pizzo that knoccs. Finally a C-Bo solo song I havne't heard before. The quality doesn't sound top notch, but he puts down some solid flows on the mic talking about his life style. A tight ass song to finish the album with.

Overall this album was really just Desert Eagle in disguish. There was 5 songs from that album on this one, and it's not like they were really that great of songs either. There were a few songs without C-Bo on them. The production was pretty good for the most part, but what it really comes down to is there was only about 3 or 4 songs I was really feeling. I don't really see putting your money on this album, unless you are a hardcore C-Bo fan. It would be cool to hear songs 2, 10, 17, and 18, but you're not missing anything if you don't hear the others. Might be a good used CD pickup, but don't waste your money on it new.

Overall Rating = 2/5

Gangsta Shit ft. Swoop G
My Life Style
Street Life ft. Phats Bossi, Killa Tay
Woldwide.Mob MF ft. Yukmouth, Young Meek, Speedy

^^^
Those are the only good songs on the album. The song with Yukmouth and Young Meek is the best song on the album. Yeah sorry to say this album really isn't worth much. It might give some appeal if you haven't heard Desert Eagle, but if you have then forget it.

Late!
