Cut to the chase, this shit is dope. The single "Don't Stop" is the weakest track. 8/10 my biggest complaint is that it's too short but what is here is quality.
1. Picture Me Ryden'
Don't know why the track listing labels this as a skit. It's a full track and it knocks. Laid back aggressive beat with a distorted sample of Pac. "Rollin in my 500 Benz, I got no love for these niggas, there's no need to be friends". A lot of artist could shred this type of beat but Rydah keeps it solo and kicks some game like he's known for, it's a perfect vibe to set the album off. 8/10
2. Pueblo Esco
Get high & chill while riding around busting knocks type of beat. I'm digging this. All about hustling, the hooks quite catchy, "I been out here all day & still ain't made shit, so I be working all the time on the late shift". Absolute knock. Rydah fits perfectly with this type of track, it's a new day & era, this is a much more mature sound 9.5/10
3. Luxery Livin' Feat. Chippass
Beat has an 80's throwback kind of vibe. Chippass kicks it off but he doesn't really fit. The difference between the way Rydah fits over the beat and the way Chippass does is night & day. That's not to say that Chippass comes weak or anything like that. Overall the song is a quick little fix. I can imagine the hook getting in someone's head easily. 7/10
4. Heemin' & Patronin' (Aka Don't Stop)
If you've been looking forward to this album you've probably already hear this track. It's a decent song. It's my least favorite of the bunch. The bells in the beat & the pacing don't sit right with me. If you prefer a bit more energy this might be the song for you though. 6.5/10
5. Cake & Ice Cream
Cold pimp beat. Hell yeah! "Vodka for a Mobsta, I don't fuck with hassas" Flows on this track are clean and real smooth. "Get out the way bitch, I'm low on patience". If I had to find a downside, the hook is a little bit bland but it doesn't matter. 9/10
6. The Product
Another slumpa. The production on this album is top notch. Rydah drops an aggro flow that has great contrast with the laid back energy of th beat. "I like a lot of saliva when ya jaw givin, grab the back of ya head with my paw kitten". The hook easily is the most stand outish on the album. 8.5/10
7. They Gone Say Feat. Deltrice
Cool little exit track. I'm not the biggest Deltrice fan but she blends nicely over this beat. The beat is what you would expect when you hear DJ Fresh. Which reminds me of a strange coincidence, the famous "DJ Fresh, DJ Fresh, DJ Fresh" tag is nowhere to be found on the album. 6.5/10
