"MC Eiht's "Affiliated" is the Compton rapper's nineteenth album release. His first enhanced disc, this special product contains 14 album tracks, exclusive interview footage and a new music video starring MC Eiht, performing the song "Say Nothin.'"

Among the album's authentic Compton born and bred tracks is the radio single, "CPT'z Bac (159 Remix Featuring CMW," produced by Raw Steel. Throughout "Affiliated," MC Eiht comes back strapped with his trademark style on new songs like "Where U Frum (Featuring Gangsta Luv of the Road Dawgs)." "Just Lean" is a laid back track by Chill and DJ Subflo, a drum and bass producer, who is also a well-known rave DJ. "Gangsta Minded (Featuring Jaz and Chill)" introduces Jaz, a female rapper.

This is authentic Compton. Keepin' it gangsta since 1988, MC Eiht has been releasing genuine issue Compton tracks. Accordingly, he has solidly earned the respect of his fans and peers in the industry. With his solo recordings, his work with Comptons Most Wanted and his stealthy collaborations, this highly prolific artist has now released 19 albums, and this number does not even include the greatest hits, compilation albums or feature film soundtrack albums that have also resulted. "Affiliated" stays true to his serious alliance with the streets of Compton, and beyond.

On the date of this album's release, Allhiphop.com dubbed MC Eiht as "an unstoppable gangsta," and listening to this album explains why.

MC Eiht's music is the soundtrack of the streets, and of the Hub City, Compton, California---a feat that is envied by many other artists, despite their heavy padding from corporate bankrolling that has helped spawn a growing number of fake, wanna-be imitators.

"Affiliated" is true blue. MC Eiht is real Compton.

Geah!!"

11 th solo is another pretty good one from Eiht

"18 years in the game and part of 19 CD's you know the Man is a true Blue vet from the CPT. This is the 15th album I have that he is affiliated with (11 solo's and 4 group albums), and of those it falls in the bottom half but still worthy of 4 stars, so it's not bad he just has alot of real grat/classic albums. A year and a half since his last solo the west side of Compton vet drops again. With 14 songs, 8 are good, 1 or 2 I skip, and 4 or 5 are ok. Guests are on all but 4 songs. Production is decent but not as good as he usually has. DJ Slip, Raw Steele, Prodeje of SCC, Tha Chill and DJ SubFlo do the production. A nice album for his fans but far from his best work.

"Compton's MC Eiht (AKA Aaron Tyler, A-Wax) provides his 19th release with "Affiliated" (2006). The game has other prolific rapper EG Too Short, but 19 albums (including collaboration joints) is a crazy amount of work. Production on this release is mostly impressive and comes from the likes of Chill, Battlecat, Raw Steel, DJ Slip, Prodeje and DJ Subflo. Los Angeles MC Eiht opens up the album repping his hood as always with pride on "CPT Mf'z" feat. Big2DaBoy . Eiht then drops more thugged out rhymes over some mellow production on "Which Way Iz Up". My favorite track on this album is "Say Nuthin'" feat. Chill, MC Eiht shines on this killer cut, Eiht's on point lyrics and chorus, and some blazing production make this track memorable. Chill & Bam drop in for "What The F**U Want Me 2 Do", and all three talk to money hungry women. Another standout has MC Eiht in good form repping his OG status on "G'sta Melody". Backed by some excellent production Eiht shines again on the ill "Just Lean" & upbeat "CPT'z Bac" feat. Compton's Most Wanted. Eiht gives G'Luv the opportunity to make mark on "Where U From", and both MC's rep Compton and the West coast with pride. The original Compton's Most Wanted crew reunites again and represent on "Respect It". Their are some tracks that I am not feeling, it's usually the average/weak guest appearance (IE Jayo Felony, Jaz, Bokie) that brings down the cut for me. Overall though MC Eiht & Co provides a strong album with "Affiliated" which most likely will be slept on hard. I recommend checking out this release. 3.5."
