In a world of copy-cats, WC has always had his own style. Here he comes with his first solo after previously being in three groups, (Low Profile, WC and the Maad Circle and Westside Connection). From the jump, the production is bouncy and Dub-C wrote some catchy bars with memorable moments such as the "Dis the season to be jankin'" on the hook of the title track where he partners with CJ Mac, who dropped one of the most underappreciated hip hop albums of all time with True Game in '95. Then 'Can't Hold Back' samples 'Ain't No Half-Steppin'' by Big Daddy Kane that is instantly recognisable. It ends strongly with the hardest song on the album, 'It's All Bad', followed by the most chill with 'Better Days' that grew on me with each listen and is my pick from the disc. There is no amazing song here, but the consistency is its strength being more than solid from front to back.
