The production on this track was good. Statik Selektah did a nice job with the beat. Its got some light instruments in it with a light bass. Not exactly what I would expect for a song about being from the dope game, but it sounds hot. Joell Ortiz has some decent lyrics. Typical things that you would expect from a song about being in the game: "Ya'll just be looking tough, Im in the lab cooking up. Can't you tell that I came from the dope game? Product of my environment, thats why I got the fire kit. Can't you tell that I came from BK?" There are one or two exceptions, as far as clever lines in the song, but nothing to get excited about. This is my first time hearing a Joell Ortiz track and I am a little disappointed, cause he has a big buzz in the underground, but this track doesn't really prove to me why. Dont get me wrong, its worth a spin but I have a feeling he can come stronger than he did on this track. -MinM
