Debut album from Strong Arm Steady. The group is made up of Mitchy Slick, Phil Da Agony and Krondon. Started as a collective of around 8 artists releasing a variety of mixtapes and was cut down to 4 including Xzibit who left the group in 2006. They did very well in the mixtape game considering none of them being a DJ or closely associated with one. Talib signed them to Blacksmith Records. As a Westcoast head I really got into the underground scene in California and these three are vets. These guys have a deep catalogue of work both as a group and individually and Krondon is best known as one of the West's best kept ghostwriters.
