1. Learn The Name
Production: ill3k
Lyrics: Mo-X, Lil G
The album starts with a cool song that has a nice production by ill3k. Its a more aggressive beat, with some cool drums! Mo X and Lil G both got a cool flow, Mo X got the more aggressive, hard voice, while Lil G always comes a lil smoother! Together they flow together real good and team up very well! They both rapping very fast over this beat, sounds good! Nice track to start the album with!
8/10
2. Angry Soul
Production: Sho-Down
Lyrics: Mo-X, Lil G, Sarkastik
The beat on this track is a bit slower paced, with a sad feeling to it! Its a very good production here! The rapping is great again, Mo-X and Lil G both coming real good, and Sarkastik is a great feature to it! I´m totally feeling him on here! Great track with a real nice, sad feeling!
9/10
3. How Many
Production: Mr. D-Sane
Lyrics: Mo-X, Lil G
Once again I´m feeling the production a lot, this time it was D-Sane who laced down this slower-paced beat! Again it has more of a sad feeling to it, with a very nice melody on the hook, lovin it! The rapping is great again, feelin it a lot! The thing I like most is the hook by Mo X, matches so good to the hook! Great work!
9/10
4. At It Alone
Production: Pain
Lyrics: Mo X, Lil G, Half Sane, Pain, Wanz
The next good track on here! This time its Pain´s production, and its great! He put together a cool bassline with a nice melody, sounds good! The rapping is cool by Mo-X, Lil G, but the second rapper, Half Sane doesnt fit to the beat that much... The others sound real tight! The hook sung by Wanz is great too, he has a real good voice and does a very good job!
8,5/10
5. Losin Control
Production: Pain, Drum Production by Mo-X
Lyrics: Mo-X, Lil G, Notes of Devidenz
This is the first beat that I´m not feeling that much! I´m not into the melody that much... Mo-X and Lil G put it down a lil harder here, more in an aggressive way! Notes of the Devidenz who´s featured here spits a very heated verse, I was feeling him a lot! At all, its a good song, but the beat would have been improvable, and with a better beat, the song would have been even better!!
7,5/10
6. Watch Yo Back
Production: Sho-Down
Lyrics: Mo-X, Lil G
On this one, the production by Sho-Down is ok, but nothing too special! Its a lil more aggressive beat, with a nice violin in the back, but at all I´m not that much into this beat! The rapping is more aggressive, too, which matches good to the beat! The hook by Mo-X sounds kinda cool also! Not feeling the overall feeling on this one... Average track and nothing too special compared to the first tracks which were much better!
6,5/10
7. Victimized (Remix)
Production: Sho-Down
Lyrics: Mo-X, Lil G, Crytical
This time I´m feeling Sho-Downs production more again, but its still nothing too special! Again, its more aggressive, but I dont like the drums and hi-hats, doesnt match to good to the rest of the beat in my ears... Crytikal starts with a cool first verse and good appereance on the hook, he does a real good job! Mo-X and Lil G come cool as usual, very good, but like I said, the beat isnt that good to me! Nice track though, but I heard better on here!
7/10
8. Worst Of The Worst
Production: Mr. D-Sane
Lyrics: Mo-X, Lil G, Mr. Villain
Dont know, but the bassline and the melody that D-Sane used here, totally reminds me of some track of a Lil Demon CD. No problem though since I really like it! Yes, the beat is very cool here with a good melody and a cool feeling! Its very smooth! Mo-X, Lil G and the feature Mr. Villain flow to it in a very tight way! Also I´m feeling the hook, done by Mo X again, a lot! A real good track here!
8/10
9. Gotta Make It
Production: ill3k
Lyrics: Lil G
I´m really lovin the production by ill3k here, its simply a masterpiece! It has a lil sad feeling to it, with such a great melody... Lil G is rapping over it very smooth, sounds real tight! But on the hook it gets even better.... Very tight song, one of my favourites!!
9,5/10
10. Stayin Real
Production: Robert King
Lyrics: Mo-X, Lil G
This track here is a lil faster paced again. Its a very good beat Robert King produced here! And once again Mo-X and Lil G are rapping hella tight over it with some tight, sometimes even funny, rhymes! They both come faster then on most of the other tracks, and it sounds pretty good! The hook is cool also! Good track with a cool twist to it...
8,5/10
11. Rock The Mic
Production: Sho-Down
Lyrics: Mo-X
This time its a Mo-X solo, and I´m really feeling it! Sho-Down did a very good, faster paced production for this track! Mo-X got some cool rhymes here, and he laced them down in a real good way! Feeling this track!
8/10
12. Thats Life
Production: Mr. D-Sane
Lyrics: Mo-X, Lil G, Skuntdunanna
I dont really like the production from D-Sane this time! Its ok, and I guess many people will like it, but I dont! It gets better on the hook with a cool melody, but the rest isnt something for me... Skunt starts with a tight verse, he comes pretty sick! Mo-X and Lil G puttin down some tight verses also, and they sound pretty tight on the hook also! Good work, but the beat could have been a lil better to me!
7/10
13. Murder He Wrote
Production: Mo-X
Lyrics: Mo-X, Lil G
Mo-X himself produced the beat to this track! Its kinda cool, but maybe it would be a lil improvable! Its a very dark and grimy beat, sounds pretty cool! Mo-X and Lil G both rapping with a very aggressive style to it, sounds cool, but I heard em spittin better on this CD! At all, a good track, with a very dark feeling to it...
7,5/10
14. Think About It
Production: Mr. D-Sane
Lyrics: Mo-X, Lil G
On this one I´m feeling D-Sanes production much more again! Its more of a grimy beat again, and its sounds hella tight to me! The rapping is more aggressive, and this time it sounds better as on the last track! Feeling the way Mo-X and Lil G put it down here!
8/10
15. Poppin Thangs
Production: ill3k
Lyrics: Mo-X, Lil G
The production for this track here is done by ill3k again, and I´m feeling it a lot! Its faster-paced, and has a cool feeling to it! The rapping is faster, too, and again I´m diggin it a lot! Nice track right here!
8/10
16. Where Were You
Production: Sho-Down
Lyrics: Mo-X, Lil G, Wanz
I´d say, this track here has the smoothest production off the whole album! Its a very laidback beat that Sho-Down produced here with a cool melody - feelin it a lot! The rapping by Mo-X and Lil G matches to it perfectly, its also very smooth and a lil slower, but again with some cool rhymes! The hook sung by Wanz is very tight, he sings it simply great! Nice track in the end of the album!
9/10
This is a very good album, much more then I expected out of it! There´s no single song on it that I´d consider as weak or something like that! Of course it has some downparts, but the great songs overshine the weaker ones with an ease... Many songs are a lil grimy, or even sad, others are faster, smooth and whatever! The production was tight most times, only a very few beats that I wasnt feeling that much! The next thing is the rapping, I was also pretty surprised, Mo-X and Lil G both got some mad skills! I´m loving the way they flow together, and since they both have kinda different styles (like mentioned in the review of the first song) they both sound really tight! There are a few cool features on it, and luckily not too much features! Everyone of them came pretty good! Very good album, something that you should definitely check out!

The next good track on here! This time its Pain´s production, and its great! He put together a cool bassline with a nice melody, sounds good! The rapping is cool by Mo-X, Lil G, but the second rapper, Half Sane doesnt fit to the beat that much... The others sound real tight!
