not particularly impressed with this album. a few definite keepers, stat is solid, but i'm not digging most of the music.

1. The Beginning - Not bad intro. First line "Statlanta with no Em/Dre" is just sad though lol. I bet this original album was gonna' be phenomenal. Cool opening track. - 3.5/5
2. Welcome Back - Beat is cool. Marsha sounds good on this. Another decent cut. - 3.75/5
3. Ghetto USA - Favorite track so far. Dude on the hook sounds dope over it. Stat spittin' real shit too. - 4.25/5
4. Dedicated - Not bad. Another just above sub par album track. I'm lovin' the lyrics and story but it feels like something is missing. Almost like an amateur attempt. - 3.5/5
5. Success - This beat is banging. Think I've heard it before but not 100%. Again, nothing special though. - 3.5/5
6. Catch Me - Stat is too good for the type of production he's getting. - 3.5/5

7. Cry - British singer? It works though. Again, beat is so so. Decent cut. - 3.75/5
8. Space Ship - Same story as all the tracks before it. Cool hook, good Stat performance and weak beat. - 3.5/5

9. Lie to You - This is more like it. I expected this to be better because of the guests. The beat is great and Raheem kills the hook. Of course Devin fits this shit big time too. - 4.5/5
10. Alright - Another track I expected to sound better due to a Talib Kweli appearance and it does. The hook is real dope. Beat is cool. - 4/5
11. What I Like - Not my style. - 2.75/5
12. Penthouse Condo - Not bad. - 3/5

Best tracks:
Lie to You
Alright
Ghetto USA

Overall: 3/5

Overall Thoughts: Stat is a very good MC but he's not getting the right beats. His artistry is miles ahead of the producers he's working with and that's sad to see. This ends up being a sub par album due to what sounds like mainly amateurish producers. Hopefully his career goes down the same aisle as Killer Mike. Mike has always been a phenomenal MC but I felt his first solo album was held back by production - And when the industry began noticing more and more how dope he was, better producers started to fuck with him and he's built a very nice career (mainly independent) for himself. Hopefully it plays out the same way for Stat Quo.

Good review. Missing the banging tracks I was expecting from Stat Quo. Standout tracks for me are Catch me and Lie To You, which I'd gave a 4/5 for both. Maybe What I Like too, but as soon as I heard it it sound like the beat is rip off of another track that I can't remember. This is a 3/5 album. Expected better from Stat..
