Face's album before this was 'The Diary' which is one of the best rap albums of all time, so this was always going to be compared unfairly. All of the production is hard, enjoyable and often with some g-funk. The highs are great and offer variety. The funkily menacing, 'Untouchable', the chill and vibey, 'Mary Jane', and the calming Pac assisted 'Smile' are all great songs in their own way. Elsewhere, the quality never drops too much, but I think there is too much of the same sound and lyrically this isn't as interesting as Scarface's best from front to back. The closing song, 'Game Over', while still good, doesn't quite live up to the names, sounding like a poor man's 'Natural Born Killaz'. I think this would be thought of more highly if 'The Diary' didn't exist. Beats: ★★★★ Rapping/Bars: ★★★★ Hooks: ★★★☆ Best Tracks: Untouchable, Sunshine, Mary Jane, Smile

I'd first heard of K-Hill ages ago as I was getting into hip hop with his great high-energy track, 'Da Instigator'. Nothing on this matches that, but it's a consistent collection of conscious boom bap.

This starts off okay, but never reaches good, let alone great heights, and then it falls away completely with 'Trap Phone' being the worst on offer. The album gets more poppy as it progresses including autotune BS singing that I loath. Shaun Wiah (just actually get someone who can sing like Mario, Ghostface) and Chuck Hollywod are horrible. Again the vocals on the chorus aren't good, but the best pop rap song is 'Plan B' featuring some likeable production and I like how it switches from the hook to the verses. The highlights are some of the features like Nas, Meth, Kanye, AZ and it was even nice to unexpectedly hear Ja again. I don't love Ghostface as a rapper for a whole album here. He just yells and doesn't say much. There is nothing to take away from this one. Beats: ★★★ Rapping/Bars: ★★☆ Hooks: ★★ Best Tracks: Pair of Hammers, Scar Tissue, No Face, Plan B

There are some decent bangin' beats but the hooks are lacking and the album falls away. Izm enjoyable rapper, weakish hook Best Tracks: Call 9-1-1, Izm A Threat to the World (Intro) Call 9-1-1 82 Potential Victims 70 Gangsta Nation 70 Get Ignit 67 Pimp the System 64 Don't Get Outta Pocket 60 Izm 70 So Many Rappers in Love 60 Lights Out 82 Bangin' At the Party 54 You Gotta Have Heart 54 Terrorist Threats 82 Superstar (Double Murder = Double Platinum) 82

This is better than Mack's debut. The production and hooks are more consistent and while again, the content isn't anything fresh, more gangsta rap than sex raps, as well as no interludes, does improve this one. It's close to a 3.5/5, but as with his debut as well, there isn't anything great. Beats: ★★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★★ Hooks: ★★★☆ Best Tracks: Alvin Groom, Better Off Dead, Ghetto Life, AP4, Little Did He Know
