That is the posthumous 4th & ultimate solo LP from Chisholm, Minnesota emcee Saint Canine. Developing as a member of the trio P.T.B. with D-Loc & Johnny Richter, all 3 of whom would later type the Kottonmouth Kings with Daddy X in 1996 & departed 3 years later. He nonetheless remained on Suburban Noize Data & made his solo debut with Ghetto Information that celebrated it’s 20 12 months anniversary in February. This could be adopted up with U.S.A. (Unconformable Social Amputees) & Bozo, the latter being in tandem with Pressure 5 Data. In commemoration of what would’ve been the O.G. King’s forty ninth birthday, the Funky Soul will at all times reside on.

The title observe that includes Chucky Chuck, The DRP & Obnoxious begins with all 4 of them dropping hardcore bars over a cool instrumental whereas “Ms. Demeanor” produced by Fiasco Andretti goes full-blown g-funk with Saint speaking a couple of chick that he considers freak of the 12 months. “Love Affair” works in an acoustic sound because of The DRP making it clear that there ain’t no kindness, however then we get handled to a remix of the spotlight “1 Extra” off KMK’s 14th & to this point ultimate group album Kingdom Come.

“Rock & Roll Gangsta” resurrects some classics vibes altogether speaking about being Heaven despatched on a mission main into “Entice Jaw” that includes Danny Diablo & Son of Saint brings the trio collectively over a psychedelic g-funk beat making enjoyable of everybody desirous to rap. “Rydaz” will get the entire Pressure 5 roster collectively a rap rock label posse lower & after one other Kingdom Comestandout “Loyalty is Royalty” making it’s means onto the observe itemizing, the music “Backlash” by U.S.@. maintains a rap rock sound bringing ruckus & “I Know” ends with one other stripped-back acoustic joint.
