The fifth full-length from one of Oakland's original gangstas, Spice 1 stays true to form, unleashing no-nonsense street stories over funk-filled production. DJ Slip (CMW), Ant Banks, and others provide the keyboard-heavy beats, while Tupac, E-40, and Method Man all drop nice verses as well. "Jealous Got Me Strapped" and "Hard To Kill" are both classics.
