In mid 1996, Mr. Mike, member of South Circle reppin' Houston and Suave House Records, gets his chance to go solo. He really goes all out here with wicked flows and sick gangsta rhymes. And, he is backed with excellent production. E-A-Ski and CMT, underrated producers from Oakland, Cali handles 40 percent of the beats, and Suave House (T-Mix) handles the rest. The beats have a mix of psycho funk and melodic G-Funk that will bang hard in the ride. This dude can spit. His style is hard core gangster, so fans of C-Bo, Spice 1, Scarface, DMG, Mac Mall should check for this one. There are a few laidback ones here too. "Where Ya Love At" is a fantastic G-Funker with E-A-Ski delivering a sunny, chill west coast backdrop with a nice whiny synth, and Mr. Mike drops some serious philosophy about life here. He brags flosses a little on the cool and breezy "Untouchable." The beat is also sunny and laidback with Suave House on the boards. Mr. Mike flexes his mic skills on "Can You Feel Me." The beat is menacing and hard mob funk. E-A-Ski and Mr. Mike show why the South-West connection ain't nathan nice on "Southwest" with a twangy E-A-Ski and CMT beat catered for both Texas and Cali styles. Again, the south-west connection fires up with Ice Cube steppin by on the title track to spit some more gangsta game. The beat is vintage Suave House G-Funk. I think it is cool how great southern rappers and west coast rappers collaborate because there is a similar general mentality between them, and they often have good chemistry. As Ice Cube puts it cleverly, "the westside's always been down with the south." Mike kicks some more harsh game on "G's Perspective" with a sick G-Funk beat perfect to roll to. Eightball and MJG show up on the last track on "Stop Lying" to warn heads about where their mouth could get them over a southern, deep-twangy meets space boogie suave banger beat. Any fans of west coast G-Funk, twisted gangsta rap, southern fried funk, and talented flow spitters should seriously consider this classic, if they don't already have it.
