DOLLARS & SPENCE
An Oakland Pimp style album
Solid album..somewhat typical..
Will pump here in the Bay Area
If you're a big fan of that Bay Area East Oakland 'Playa' sound this is the lp for you... Long time producer Tone Capone architects the slow rolling 'pimp style beats that so many here in the 'O' [Oakland] like to flow over.. Bay Area stars like Keeka Sneak and Ager Man from 3X Krazy, Harm, and Triple J join Mr Spence as they collectively bless this project and weave tales of their 'playa' mentality..
The album starts off kinda slow but then picks up with strong songs like 'Pop That Thang' which features Harm, 'National Players' which features Triple J and 'Pimptastic' which features Teddy Montana...Other cool cuts include 'Buy Some Game', 'Fa Sho' and 'Rocket Ships'
In conclusion.. don't expect to hear this lp bumpin' in the jeeps of kids from Brooklyn.. Don't expect FunkMaster Flex to be rocking it during his next show... And don't expect C Delores Tucker to be playing this during her next women's meeting.. Do expect to hear this bumpin' out the cars of those who reside in places like The Bay... It's that type of sound and style..And it hits..
