Z-Ro Album: “Still Living [PA]”

Description :

Recording information: Mike Dean's House Of Hits, Cypress, TX; King Of The Ghetto Studios, Houston, TX; MAD Studios, Houston, TX; Noddfactor Studios, Missouri City, TX. <p>On 2006's I'M STILL LIVIN, Houston-based rapper Z-Ro (born Joseph McVey) paints a vivid picture of ghetto life. Highlights of the album include "City Streets," which features a cinematic arrangement and a weeping hard-rock guitar sample, and the disarmingly sensitive "T.H.U.G. (True Hero Under God)," a track that inventively places fast, frenetic rhymes against a gentle, Quiet Storm-style backdrop.

yung "relyk" (eugene or) - April 05, 2010

- Another great album z-ro

if you liked life of jospeh, or let the truth be told your gonna like this

B. Iruke "Rap mogul" (Detroit, MI by way of Houston , TX) - August 31, 2008

- Deep, moving album...

One of the good things about the download era of music is that alot of the weak, bubble gum hip hop music that flooded the radio has been reduced substantially. Real music such as Z-ro will begin to finally see the light of day. A fantastic CD, please cop today.

G$ "Z-Wad" (B-More, MD) - March 27, 2007

- Another good one from Ro

Z-Ro is back with about the 17th album he's been a part of since he came in the rap game in '98, and his 3rd solo on Rap-A-Lot. This is only the 4th album of his I have (I be checking more of his out in time) and of them 4, 2 get 4 stars (this is 1), 1 gets 4.5 and 1 is a classic so the man has some skils (he's kind of like Scarface & Bun B mixed -- he's got deep lyrics and a tight flow). With 15 songs on here, 1 is almost a classic, 3 are ok, and the other 11 are good, with a couple of them being real good songs. Guests aren't heavy, like all of his albums I have, on 4 songs rapping and doing the chorus on 2. Production is handled by the people who do most of Rap-A-Lot's work. Mike Dean does 8 songs, Enigma & Z-Ro each do 2, and Mr. Lee, Bigg Tyme and Dani Kartel each do 1. A nice album to have from one of the few rappers that can actually rap from the south.

#1 - 8

#2 - 9 (upbeat track -- f/ Tanya Herron)

#3 - 9 (deeper song with relaxing beat)

#4 - 7 (nice song but the hook is horrible)

#5 - 8.5 (f/ Trae & P.O.P.)

#6 - 8 (f/ P.O.P. & Bun B)

#7 - 9 (great beat)

#8 - 8.5

#9 - 8.5 (f/ Lil Keke -- relaxing beat)

#10 - 9.5 (great remake over Scarface's classic "I Seen A Man Die" -- uses the same tight beat and also on Face's "My Homies part 2")

#11 - 8.5

#12 - 7 (f/ Trae & Big Hawk {R.I.P.})

#13 - 8.5 (a song more for the ladies but decent)

#14 - 7.5

#15 - 8.5 (f/ Tanya Herron)

Joseph W. McVey -- b. around 1978 -- Houston, TX

- He has done it again

I was worried after so many months passed and Z-Ro hadn't released anything. I have to say that it was well worth the wait. Z-Ro has made another classic cd--something you can listen to from beginning to end. If you are a faithful Ro fan, you cannot pass up this cd. Owning it is a MUST.
