"I should have probably gave this 4 stars instead of 3, it's close to 4, maybe 3.75. Five and a half years since his solo debut, Soopafly is bacc with another album. I have to say I was let downa little by this one. The guests and producers are the ones he usually for the most part works with, but they just didn't click as good as I think they usually do, he's missing some of his great more bouncy upbeat tracks. With 15 songs (1 Soopalfy isn't on), 1 I skip (the one he ain't on), only 4 are real good, 4 are ok, the rest are decent to pretty good. Guests are on 6 songs and mostly his DPG homies. Production is decent, Soopafly does 8 songs (not as consistant as his usual work though), Denaun does 2 songs, Exile, Sebb, E-Swift, Battlecat and DEA all do 1 song. If you're a huge fan of DPG muzic or Soopafly I'd pick it up otherwise I might pass on it, still a decent album but he has better in him.

Bangin west coast

"Soopafly is back after a few years to drop Bangin West Coast, a true west coast G-funk style release. I'm feelin the album, always liked Soopa's work in the past and now it's no different. Producing most of the tracks and dominating all the tracks with featuring artists, Soopa is back to take what I reckon he deserves.
nice album , keep Bangin West Coast!!!!!!!!"
