Label : Rap-A-Lot Records (2006)
Production : Mike Dean, Z-Ro, Enigma, Mr Lee, Bigg Tyme & Dani Kartel

1. City Streets (4,5/5)
If anyone was worried that Z-Ro would make his music softer to please the radio crowd this song proves that he hasn't changed a thing. It's still the same sad ghetto stories that people have come to expect. Dope beat too

2. Continue 2 Roll - (featuring Tanya Herron) (5/5)
Not many people can use a sample best remembered for a PM Dawn song but Ro pulls it off. This could be a good crossover single if he weren't so damn negative. My favorite from the album

3. T.H.U.G. (True Hero Under God) (3,5/5)
Not feeling this. Too slow and the chorus is boring. For some reason this was the single...

4. One Deep (4/5)
Nice beat

5. M16 - (featuring Trae/P.O.P.) (4/5)
Don't know who this P.O.P guy is but I'd like to hear more.

6. Remember Me - (featuring Bun-B/P.O.P.) (4,5/5)
It's not easy holding your own against Bun-B but Z-Ro isnever outshined on his own albums. This is no exception

7. Keep On (4/5)
There are few producer who are as overlooked as Mike Dean. The man has been involved in almost every Rap-A-Lot release to date and although the roster hasn't always been top notch the beats have always been satisfactory

8. What's Going On? (4/5)


9. Let The Truth Be Told - (featuring Lil' KeKe) (4/5)
Ke'Ke and Ro make a great combination as always.

10. Man Cry (4,5/5)
Making a new version of arguably the best Scarface track ever is not easy. Z-Ro pulls it off and manage to add his own element to the track.

11. No More Pain (4/5)

12. Still Livin' - (featuring Trae/Hawk) (4,5/5)
You can never go wrong with that line-up. Real solid title track


13. Homie, Lover, Friend (3,5/5)
Not really feeling it that much. It's a bit repeditive

14. Love Ain't Live (4/5)
Dope beat and Z-Ro drops some more gems.

15. Battlefield - (featuring Tanya Herron) (5/5)
Sampled the Pat Benetar song Love Is A Battlefield. Some would probably say it's corny but I'm really feeling it

OVERALL 4/5

Not quite as good as "Let The Truth Be Told" mostly because it seems Z-Ro is going nowhere. The beats and lyrics are the same as always and the Ja Rule-esque hooks can be a bit much at times. Still a very solid effort from one of the most slept on cats in the rap game today

P.O.P. also spits on Pimp C's Knockin Doorz Down

agree with the review mostly. its a slight step down from the last album but still definitely worth buying. Z-Ro is one of the best around right now.

Mike Dean is one of my favorite southern producers. he made the beats for I Seen a Man Die by Scarface, R&B by Devin The Dude, In Between Us by Scarface, and Swang by Trae, and a lot of the tracks on Z-Ro's last album.

your review i would agree with mainly. but how can you call a song boring and your not feeling it, but then give it 3.5/5?!?! if you don't like a song it should get 2.5 or less...but yeh everyone's rating system is different i guess.

but Z-Ro is that dude. I really need to get "Let the truth be told" i have some tracks from it but its impossible to get hold of down here in australia.
