"The Mob Figaz are a group that were originally put on by Bo Loco. I have always liked this crew because they all have different styles even though there emcee names are real similar. This solo LP from the Jacka is nice; he has a flow that is kinda like a high pitch jadakiss, but unlike west coast rappers such as the Game the style is not too East Coast to the point where it sounds confused. A lot of the production on here reminded me of Pretty Toney such as the songs "Iller Clip" "standing by Starz" "Barney" and "Blind World". Its a good combination for a rapper like him. On the flip, Jacka gets loose on left coast oriented tracks like "Hey Girl" (remix of lead single) "Lookin at It" (w/ sicc cameos from Yukmouth and Keak Sneak). There are some radio oriented cuts on here too, espeically "Girls Say" and "Get Out there". Probably the best thing about Jacka is that he sounds comfortable about being himself instead of trying to sound like the rest of the newer music coming from the bay right now. The flow is real natural and not forced. Jacka is a young rapper in the game who has a big upside. This album has a lot of potential to blow up nationwide"

The Jack Artist Is Truely A Work of Art!

"The Jacka has made this album 19 tracks of nothing but pure quality from the beginning to the end. His talent and outstanding work ethic really shines with this one. He can probably take every song from this cd, and turn them into singles. "Never Blink", "Standing By the Stars", "Barney (More Crime)", "Really Dope", "Girls Say", "Kuran", "Dedicated Lifestyle", and "Iller Clip" are probably the songs that I listen to the most. Oh yea, and definatley "Hey Girl(Remix)". There's just too many good songs in this CD, and the album will appeal to any fan of rap music whether you like West, East, or Down South. This is an instant classic, and a perfect example of how an album should be made. Every rap fan should do themselves a favor and go buy this album now."
