1) "Real Life"
This track gets the album started off right with a clean beat and some tight flows by both Messy and I-Rocc. The production notes for the whole album just say Pale Sole and Sean T, so I'm not sure which tracks each produced or whatever. Just some hard spittin to a coo beat, can't really say more a tight song overall.
2) "Turf Thuggin'" ft. T-Nutty
DAMN! This track is off the hook. The beat is hard as fuck and knoccs hard as hell. Messy starts it off with a tight ass verse with some coo ass lyrics. T-Nutty is on the hook and spits some good lyrics. I-Rocc's verse is tight too. I can't really say enough about this track, just bump it loud! Best track on the album.
3) "The Get Down" ft. Luni Coleone
I-Rocc starts this track off with a coo verse. Messy does the hook and has a clean verse of his own. Luni comes hard near the end of the track. The beat is tight and knoccs hard. Just some hard rippin on this track. Another one of my favorites.
4) "Gangstas"
Another good beat for this song. Both I-Rocc and Messy Marv come hard on this track. I'm feeling I-Rocc more than Messy though. He just grabs the mic and comes hard as fuck. I-Rocc does the hook. Messy comes hard too, but I'm feeling I-Rocc's flow more. A tight ass track overall.
5) "Love of the Loot" ft. Greedy
Some pimp talk on this track. Messy starts it off talking about pimping and hoeing. Greedy does the hook and spits some coo lyrics. I-Rocc's verse is clean as fuck too. I like Greedy on the hook and Messy's verse the most. A tight track overall though.
6) "Real Recognize Real" ft. Ballin' A$$ Dame
Another one of my favorite beats on the album. It knoccs pretty hard. Messy starts it off with a coo verse. Ballin' A$$ Dame has the second verse, but some reason the quality sounds a little funny. Almost sounds like the verse was recorded in a poor studio. Messy does the hook and then I-Rocc finishes off the track with a coo verse.
7) "Game"
Another tight beat. I'm really getting into Sean T's production after hearing a few of the albums he's produced. I-Rocc and Messy trade off tight verses on this track. They flow about the game. Can't say more than that. Tight track.
8) "We Used To" ft. Young Fierce
A slower paced track here. Another good beat that fits perfectly. I don't really like Young Fierce that much, but Messy and I-Rocc come tight. They flow about things they used to do. The hook is a little repetitive too. Not my favorite track, just decent overall.
9) "Hood Life" ft. T-Nutty
This track was featured on the "How the West Was Won" compilation. T-Nutty rips up the mic to start the track off. I'm feeling his style and the lyrics he comes with. I don't really like the hook too much, but the other verses are clean. Another one of my favorite tracks, but mostly because of T-Nutty.
10) "Play the Game" (Messy Marv solo)
This track is a Messy Marv solo. He spits some tight ass lyrics to a sweet ass beat. He talks about playing the game and trusting nobody. He's got some funny ass lyrics in some parts too. I would have like to hear a I-Rocc solo track on this album too, but a Messy Marv solo will suit me fine.
11) "Skrillionaires" ft. Hatchet, Hollow Tip
I like the piano in the background. Hatchet laces up this track with some nice production. A nice slower pace to this track. I'm feeling Messy Marv and Hatchet's verses more than Hollow, but all three come pretty tight. The beat is perfect for this track. I'm feeling this track overall. No I-Rocc though. This track was also on HTWWW comp.
12) "Gutter Shit"
A pretty good beat for this track. They flow about being from the gutter and keeping it real. Both I-Rocc and Messy come tight, but I'm feeling I-Rocc a little more. A coo track overall, nothing special, but still clean.
13) "Money, Cars, Clothes" ft. T-Nutty, Silas
A nice pace to this track. The beat is good and I like the production overall. Messy starts it off with a coo verse. T-Nutty handles the hook again. I-Rocc has the next verse and comes clean on the mic. Silas has the next verse and comes coo. No verse from T-Nutty though. A clean track overall.
14) "Laws of the Street" ft. T-Nutty
A pretty good beat to finish off the album with. I-Rocc starts it off with a coo verse. Messy comes tight as well. They flow about the laws of the street. I like T-Nutty's verse the best though. A pretty good track to finish the album with, I'm feeling it.
Overall this was a very good album. There are a few tracks that knocc hard as fuck. Both I-Rocc and Messy Marv came tight with their flows. I liked Messy a little more, but I-Rocc came clean as fuck too. Good production all the way through. A solid album. Pick up yourself a copy.
Overall rating = 5/5
