1. ?Game Speaks? (Intro)
2. ?We Stand Alone?
You see that things get underway here with a pretty big one as you find that after a few word from the rapper himself, he comes out with a track that has him bringing through the ruthless, raw rhyming style tha the takes from his idols who made up N.W.A to make for what I saw as a strong starter, but one that doesn?t really offer all that much that?s new and so won?t really make that much of an impression.
