"This album is just amazing and you can't believe it's from 1992. Sick Wid it released a perfect album. D-Shot is such a tight rapper, and with the help of some label inmates and mighty producer Studio Ton he drops a perfect album. It's pretty short but it's WAY BETTER than those 20 plus track albums they deliver these days. A perfect album you just press PLAY and listen to every single song on this album. An album you'll really enjoy listening too, it's gangsta hardcore rap but most of it is some playa s**t, what D-Shot knows best. Shot Calla is a "old" album, but it was really ahead of its time when it was released and you get to hear a Sick Wid It Record before the label got distributed by Jive nationwide. It IS a classic, and any West Coast rap fan should get it. For those who don't know - D-Shot, together with his brother E-40 and their crew The Click, is one of the first ones to get into the independent game. After Sick Wid It's success, many rappers (especially from the Bay Area) followed their lead and made themselves a lot of money. Just don't forget where it all started."
