LISTED REVIEWS
Okayplayer equals quality, so I was immediately excited for this compilation. The first song 'KO Player': BANG, another Madlib superproduction, no need to question who’s gonna win The Source Award for Best Producer this year.

It’s thuggish, on the edge of commercial but at the same time with so much class, craftsmanship and street credibility that I want this in the clubs instead of all the fake-ass bullshit I’m hearing lately. 'For the DJ’s who play that real live shit'

This album is 100% non-bullshit, genuine rap music about havin fun, chasin girls and having a drink or two. And oh yeah, if you want to make fun of your mother-in-law just check out the skit! Wesssside!!

This comeback is a blessing for hip-hop purists: while listening to the LP you enter an imaginary world thru old SF-movie skits, comic book references, 80s soul, jazz standards and fairytale-like beats.

This album is a West Coast classic, bringing the Californian summer straight into your room. Not long after the release Ahmad was dropped by his label, and after almost ten years of silence Ahmad returned on the scene with his group 4th Avenue Jones.

A strong mix of conscious, smart lyrics with a sharp sense of humour and psychedelic, sunset beats is the recipe of the LP. Ras Kass’ lyricism is unbeatable, droppin crazy punch lines and ill rhyme schemes, his lyrics alone make this one a classic.
