(4 out of 5 stars)

"Freako was the leader of the group The GhettoStarz with Scoob Nitty, Dubb20 & Uzi. He was also the leader of the Super natural Camp which was composed of a whole host of young artists from Pittsburg,CA.



Alot of them can be heard on this album which unfortunaty leaves less room for freako to drop his poetic ryhmes. The first thing that grabs you as you hear the sober first track is the pain, harshness and sincerity in freakos voice and rhymes.

This is best reflected in the classic tracks Autobiograpic,Voices & Dedication.

Freako also brings his surroundings to life in the upbeat gritty tracks like BleedingHarts & Million Dollar nigga.

But also takes the smooth approach in tracks like Outta space & The Life, while reaching out to his younger brethrin in tracks like United, going to fast & thug wit us.



The stronger appearances come from Mac Dre (R.I.P), Rydah j Klyde(mob Figaz), Ap9(Mob Figaz) & his Ghettostarz group. And while some of the younger super natural Fam drop some nice verses others are forgetable.



This a classic album minus a couple of filler tracks and a few features to many as Freako could have made a better album by himself but decided to give a platform for some of his camp.



I doubt you will like this album if you skim the tracks but i know you will love it once you sit back and soak the classics like Voices, Dedication, Auto biogratic & ottaspace.
