Album Rate: 3.75 out of 5 Stars
Playa K is straight outta the ATL underground and unleashes his new album on us. He is joined on the album by fellow Threat To Society (TTS) members Murder Mark & The Reaper.
1. Intro-- just a dedication to his grandmother
2. I Dun Dunnit-- this track is more of a get crunk track where each line of the song is followed by the words "I dun dunnit, I dun mothafuckin dunnit". The song starts off kinda slow but once Playa K actually starts rappin, the song is decent.
3. A.T.L.A.N.T.A.-- this track starts off with some talkin and chorus vocals by Lasheika Bradfield aka Lady Killer. The beat is more laid back and slow while Playa K's rappin is more uptempo and tryin to get you hype. I'm feelin like the beat doesn't match the rap style. The song gets better toward the end of the track mainly because of Playa K's rapping.
4. Get It Crunk-- this track has more of a mid tempo beat that borders on being uptempo. Playa K had my head bobbin on this track. Kinda reminded me of Miracle a little bit. Lady Killer drops a nice verse as well. If you like Rasheeda, then you'll like Lady Killer. Nice track.
5. Skit--
6. Dirty Dirty-- this track has a more uptempo sound. Playa K raps about all about the stuff that goes on in the dirty south. It's a bumpable track.
7. Just Another Day-- this track starts off with sirens and some gunshots. Playa K raps about all the stuff that goes on in a typical day in his neighborhood "where anything can go wrong, and anything can go good". Decent track that you can bump in your ride although all the background sounds start to get annoying after a while.
8. No Hook-- this track features Murder Mark and The Reaper. It feels like they just got together in the booth and are spittin lyrics. Just like the title of the track states--no hook. I'm kinda feelin this one.
9. Haters-- this track has a hook sung by Lady Killer that sounds a little off key. Playa K drops a decent verse but again, the background sounds get a little annoying.
10. Don't Mess Around-- this track has a mid tempo beat. Not really feelin the hook sung by Kareena Davis. Playa K drops some nice flows on his verse. Bumpable track.
11. Skit-- skit where they're checkin out someone else's girl.
12. Superman-- this track has a little bit of an uptempo feel. Playa K flows his ass off over the first couple of verses. The hook is a little corny but overall I was feelin this track.
13. This Is It-- this track is more of a sing-songy type that makes you think that you are on a children's show. Totally different style than what Playa K has shown thus far on the album. Seems like an out-of-place track.
14. Come On-- this track starts off mid tempo but the way the beat and lyrics are going, it seems like it is destined to start gettin faster and faster. I almost expected Playa K to start tongue twistin but the tempo stays the same throughout the track. Still a nice track that's worth checkin out.
15. I'm That Nigga-- this track is about the kind of nigga that Playa K is and all the stuff that he is/does/will do/has. It's an all right track.
16. Shawdy Shawdy-- this track has a mello beat to it with a little crunkness mixed in with the chanting and cheering going on in the background. Playa K raps about he's gotta holla at this shawty he's just seen. It's a decent track.
17. Tired Of It-- on this track, Playa K raps about all the shit that he's tired of. This track doesn't seem like anything more than the same lyrics looped over and over. Not really feelin this one.
18. Get Them Thangs Rollin-- this track has got a nice rhythm to it. It had my head noddin to the beat and the lyrics. Playa K, Murder Mark, & The Reaper drop some tight verses. Nice track.
19. Ecstacy-- this track starts off with a nice little bassline. Playa K raps about rollin on that X pill and drops some decent verses. Michelle Green lends the vocals for the chorus.
20. Lied To Me-- the beat on this one is pretty tight. Playa K raps about all the niggas that done lied to him about all kinds of stuff. Tight little track which is my favorite one on the album.
21. Skit
22. Stop Faking-- this track has a beat kinda like Khia's "My Neck, My Back". Playa K starts off with some nice verses but he kinda loses the flow in the parts of the track with the talkin.
23. Outtro
Overall, I thought that Playa K has a lot of raw lyrical skills that'll only get refined as he gets older. This album doesn't sound like your "typical ATL album" and that's good to see that he has some originality and didn't go out and copy the sound of a Pastor Troy or Outkast. But I thought the production on the album was really, really raw. There just wasn't anything special going on with the beats, and I also felt that there was an overuse of the sound effects (like sirens or babies crying or bombs dropping) on most of the tracks that took away from the rapping that was going on.
