"I was shocked to find out that someone from my city (Pittsburgh, Pa of course!) was signed to Def Jam. I was like, this dude must have skills and while the album is only 7 tracks long, the music is on point. The lyrics are not what you would expect just by taking one look at Pittsburgh Slim.



Track 1: "Pittsburgh Slim" is a banger. A crazy guitar riff plays as a rock/rap infused beat drops. The beat is something taken straight out of the Run-DMC era! You automatically take notice of his lyrics...10/10



Track 2: "Superstar Extraordinaire" is bittersweet, where you may like majority of the lyrics but the techno/rock/pop infused beat sounds all over the place. 7/10



Track 3 "My Flashy World" has a catchy "video game like" beat...an overall pretty good song. 8/10



Track 4: "Girls Kiss Girls"...the title says it all. This song would be a little more better if the chorus was better crafted. 7/10



Track 5: "Sunrays F/Sonny Cheeba (of Camp Lo)" Excerpts of this song came from Matthew Wilder's "Break My Stride"...makes the song a bit weird but the lyrics are ok. 6/10



Track 6: "Kiss And Tell" Another ok "video game like" beat...the chorus is average but the lyrics are pretty good again. 7/10



Track 7: "Toy"...This beat sounds like something that Jennifer Lopez would have put on one of her albums...the subject matter here is basically on just about every song on this album..So by the time you get to this song..your tired of hearing the repeated "Slime-E reference" or girls, sexual desires/references.



Overall the album is good, but needs songs longer the 2 minutes longer, more than 7 tracks...At the very least, 10 tracks and more creativity. Jay-Z signed him for a reason, he has potential....Can't wait to see a full length album for him."
