After listening to all four tracks...I gotta say, I'm actually impressed with that Jones track above everything else. He really stepped it up with PR on the boards. I gotta say though..I'm pissed that Slum Village's "Gangsta Boogie" didn't make the album's final cut. It leaked a few months back and is absolute fire. In fact...check it out for yourselves...
