KURUPT PRESENTS
DZ
SLEEPLESS CITY LIVIN

1.INTRO-Kurupt introducing DZ to the world.

2.LET'S RIDE-over a very heavy west coast style instrumental that sounds like a Dre track Kurupt destroys the first verse letting the world know about DZ. DZ takes the last two verses introducing himself to the world. Each verse is great and this is a good and banging opening track. Great way to start the album.

3.TROUBLE-the late great Mac Dre appears on this track dropping a nice hook for DZ over a bouncy bay area type production. DZ sounds good on this track and feels right at home with another legend on a track with him. Another great track that all would most likely enjoy.

4.FAST LANE-T Nutty comes through to help out over this great track with a nice piano driven track. DZ once again sounds good on this track but it is the hook on this track that I really like a lot. T Nutty steals the show on this one though with an excellent verse to end things, another good track.

5.POP BOTTLES-this one right here would be the perfect single for this album as it is a nice mix of street and mainstream appealing. The beat is excellent and will have you nodding along with it, and the hook is very catchy. DZ does his thing on this one with each verse dropping a gem on the album. Junya does his thing on this one as well adding a different style to the track. Could be a nice single.

6.GIT UP-Gangsta Nut appears on this one kicking things off with a good verse adding another style to the album. This one is all about the ladies and what they want to do with them. The beat on this one is very mainstream appealing but the hook and content could never be edited enough for radio. DZ sounds great on this type of track as his flow matches the beat well.

7.HUSTLINAIRE-a definite single right here with a very bouncy and appealing instrumental that takes me back to the glory days of the west coast. Also the Roger Troutman like hook is amazing, always love that talk box. DZ kicks it off with one his best verses on the album followed by the great Messy Marv dropping a great guest verse. DZ ends things with another great verse and adds a great song to the track list.

8.SO FLY-Rydah J Klyde is in the house on this one dropping some smooth vocals to help the album out. This is another potential single as the ladies would love this one as would the mainstream. The instrumental on this one is so smooth and the hook is extremely catchy, perfect choice for a video. DZ does his thing again on this one, another good song.

9.LIKE ME-Minista and Guce join in on things along side DZ on this track, this is your typical bravado type track as they all hold it down. All three do their thing on this one over a hard instrumental, this is a good track. While it is not the best on the album it is still bump worthy.

10.GANGSTA PARTY-a cool bouncy West coast style beat kicks in immediately on this one as DZ and D.O.A. each do their thing. Every one sounds good over this great instrumental and the hook is cool on this one as well. Another good addition to the album, pool party music in the summer right here.

11.MY LIFE-this is a great track right here and is one of my favorites on the album, the beat on this one is great. DZ kicks it first with a great verse followed by Jesse James who kills it. 151 holds down the hook and does a great job. This is one of the best songs on the album.

12.RIDE ON-Kurupt returns with his wife Gail Gotti on this one to help things end correctly. DZ starts things off with an excellent verse and his flow is on point, great verse. The hook is great with Kurupt on it and the beat is very smooth and feels like some night time music. DZ comes back with another great verse as he kicks it a bit different. Next up is Gail Gotti who is one of the best females in the game right now, and of course she steals the show with an excellent verse. A great way to the album with DZ linking with two of the best, Kurupt is a legend.
