3 out of 5 stars Ok Debut.......2004-11-08

Long Beach Native, Perfec, delivers an alright debut. There is not doubt this cat can mc, but he lacks production on this album. I first heard him on Warren G's "Take A Look Over Your Shoulder" album, and that is the only song I have heard him on but he impressed me so I bought this album when it came out expecting more. It has 4 songs I skip, 5 are ok, the other 6 are good. Features a bunch of unknowns and one song has Suga Free & Rappin' 4-Tay. Production is average, Charlie B did 9 songs, Co-T did 5, and Skunky Dred did 1. I'd downlad the 6 good songs and save the money on a purchase.

2 out of 5 stars What the hell was Ark21 thinking?.......2001-09-10

I purchased this album because I wanted to support a local artist, since he lives right in my city. Primarily, I picked it up because it was on the Ark 21 Records label, who has consistently put out really interesting hip hop releases, that are at least what I'd consider meat and potatoes, fundamental hip hop, with a little more towards the experimental side every once in a while. This album was super disappointing. It's so cliche and unoriginal, so different from what this record company is used to. If you're expecting something up to the normal Ark 21 standards, don't purchase this album. Even for the gangster style it barely pulls off, the rhymes are average, less than intimidating or entertaining, and the beats are too old school with that synthesizer cheese. If you want something from the traditional gangster style similar to these small independent gangster labels, then definitely listen to the sound clips first, cause I still wouldn't recommend it.
