"AZ returns with his 9th solo album (not to mention his "N4L" mixtape and his "S.O.S.A." EP from 2000), and like all his others it's a good one and I'd say deserving of 4 stars. Of the 11 albums of his I own, and his Firm group album, 3 are classics, 3 are near classics, the other 6 are worhty of 4 stars. AZ has been busy of late, this being his 4th album in a 14 month period (counting the release of "Final Call") and he is slated for another one to come out in a few weeks. The man is great on the mic, and one of the best and most consitant since he first emerged back in 1994. This one is shorter, with only 10 songs, 9 are good one is ok. Guests are only on 2 songs. Production is good as well. Cozmo does 8 songs, Maxwell Smart and Luigi Soprano each do 1. Another album to have from a great MC.

#4 - 8.5 (f/ Sheek [uses a verse off his "Life on D-Block" album])

#10 - 9 (nice beat)

#11 - 8 (f/ Sheek [uses a verse off his "Life on D-Block" album] & Hell Rell)

#12 - 8

#13 - 7.5

"except for two tracks..the rest of the 12 songs on this album is flawless. in the song "good for nothing" Az finally brings us into his childhood and in the song "i refuse to die" he really shows his verbal talents. this album is better then undeniable, every album shows improvement. i bought two just to support A, keep doing you fam!"

Something different

"Descent production on most of the tracks. AZ's verbal skillz are as sharp as ever. More of a laid back vibe to this album then his previous ones. Not as raw or gritty as AWOL or FORMAT, but A once again delivers for his true fans."
