"For starters this really isn't a Knoc solo album so don't expect that. Of the 11 songs on here, he is on only 8, and of the 9 he is on, on 2 or 3 he only does the hook. Guests are all over the album, and of the 10 rappers on here only 2 are any good (Lord Lucky & J Peace) and 2 are ok, the rest suck. Of the 11 songs, 2 I skip, 2 are borderline good, 1 is tight (and Knoc ain't on it)and 6 are ok. Production is ok for the most part (other then 2 or 3 songs that are tight) and handled by the Bubble Monkeys, who I never heard of and don't really care to hear from again (and one song has a live band). The artwork on the cover and book looks like it was printed off an old computer and you can barely read the credits. Definitely get his "The Way I Am" or "LA Confidntial" EP, both 4 solid stars, and stay away from this, a waste of money in my opinion and I'll be waiting for his next real solo album.

"Really laid back album. It's nothing that hasn't already been done a thousand times by west coast rappers though. Nothing really stands out as outstanding on this album. The production is alright but again, nothing stands out about it.
Notable Tracks:
Up In L.A.
Four Seasons
My Dream"
