this cd is different from m.d.'s others, which is good and to be expected because he uses different producers on all his albums--producers are not named on this one, but some of the tracks sound like the sound m.d. had on "cutthroat committee" (check that one out 4-sure!!) --guests dubee, rich the factor, daz dillinger, luni coleone and bad azz appear on tracks. dre comes hard on track 11, "gotta go", and "shakin the feds" has dre with some scorching verses.
