An aggressive but at times soulful [[concept album]] not unlike [[Prince Paul]]'s ''[[A Prince Among Thieves]]'' or the [[CunninLynguists]]' ''[[A Piece of Strange]]'', the lyricist portrays the fictional Kirk Jones, a felon just released from prison who is now struggling to come to terms with life outside jail. The listener is taken from street drama on "My Dogz Iz My Gunz" to metaphysical musings on "Why" and rage-filled vents on his girlfriend in "Cheatin'" before an ironic post-mortal [[cover version]] of [[Louis Armstrong]]'s "[[What a Wonderful World]]" finishes this album which went deeper than many critics had expected from the [[hardcore hip hop|hardcore rapper]]. ==Track listing== # "Intro" – 1:47 # "Come On" – 4:26 # "My Dogz Iz My Gunz" (featuring [[Black Child]] of the [[The Inc.
