On “Microphone Killa,” Freeway and Young Chris serve up 90s b-boy grittiness over Jake One’s throwback boardwork. “Never Gonna Change” finds Free painting a lyrical portrait of the never-ending trials and tribulations faced by inner-city natives.
True to its name, the project offers plenty to stimulate and entertain fans of pure, street oriented hip-hop.
