5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 star solo debut from Dogg Pound homie, June 29, 2005
By G$ "Z-Wad"    
After Death Row collapsed a new star from Long Beach emergered from the extended DPG Family & it was Bad Azz, who drops a straight up hard LBC/DPG-like sounding release for his solo debut. Packed with 14 songs, 2 are west coast classics, 2 I skip, and the other 10 are good or great songs. Guests are all DPG affiliates or his homies from the Low Lifes, and are on 8 of the songs. The production is great and is handled by some of the west's better producers at the time. Kenny McCloud & Gangsta of the Comrads each do 3 songs, Ant Banks does 2 great songs as does Soopafly, DJ Pooh, Flip, Big Kid, and Lil Beau of the Low Lifes each do 1 song. Bad be spitting some good lyrics and his flow is great over some of these beats, even some of the wacker sounding songs he tears up. Amust have west coast album for fans of the DPG/LBC type rap.
