im not a fan of all of Z-Ro's early work but this and Z-Ro vs the world are my favorite pre rap a lot albums. Check it out if you fienin for more Rodiene
FIRE FROM BEGINNING TO END. IF YOU ARE A RO FAN AND DON'T HAVE THIS WELL..... YOU AIN'T A RO FAN. THIS CD IS CLASSIC AND A MUST HAVE.
Z-Ro returns with his 4th solo, just 8 months since his last one. Like all his albums (I have 8 of his solo's and 2 group albums), it's a good one and worth maybe 4.5 stars (all his albums are at least 4, and I'd say half are 4.5 or 5 star ones). Like always, he has some street tales and some deeper songs over some tight beats. This one has 13 songs, 1 is ok, the other 12 are good and most being real good songs, but no classics on this album. Guests aren't that heavy and are on 5 songs and do the chorus on another. Production is good as well. Sean Blaze & Quincy do the majority with 8 songs, Thug Dirt does 3, and Solo and Z-Ro each do 1 song. A nice album to have from one of my favorites n the rap game.

Now first off I have the cd. I don't know why amazon only has it as a cassette. Z-Ro makes records that you can listen too all the way through and not get bored with the content, lyric or beat wise. He doesn't have guest artists on every single track unlike alot of the mainstream artists. Real life experiences come out of his mouth on every record. Regardless of what kind of rap you like you can appreciate Z-Ro as an artist. This record is a good introduction to him.
