Slava P is Rocksteady & Bebop’s older cousin.

Sherane aka Master Splinter’s Daughter
Sonic plot setup,
characters established, rap
parts also rapped well.

Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe
A subdued slow jam
with lyric acrobatics
and odd nasal noise

Backseat Freestyle
Animalistic
verses held together by
a brutal chorus

The Art of Peer Pressure
Dangers of group-think
fueled by teenage bravado
and Jeezy CD’s

Money Trees feat. Jay Rock
A tale of struggle
and the grail at the end of
the forsaken quest

Poetic Justice feat. Drake
A sloppy love song
about forgotten conquests
and kidney disease

good kid
Jazzy horns and drums
lay out the tribulations
of gang innocence

m.A.A.d city feat. MC Eiht
Sonic mosaic
of private stories, Cali
low-riding slick talk

Swimming Pools
Romanticized vice
fulfillment and stripped down strings
create Drake-lite jam

Sing About Me/I’m Dying
One part imagined
conversation, the other,
a mournful cleansing

Real feat. Anna Wise
A two perspective
story about pursuing
passion in all forms

Compton feat. Dr. Dre
Celebratory
anthem. You know you’ve made it
when Dre exploits you
