17. “We Getting It” has a more of a bouncy feel to it but still keeps kind of a mob feel to it. This track features D-Dom and he pretty much ruins this track, his verse was pretty much all the way through. Yukmouth saves the track with his verse other than that hit that skip or fast forward button.
18. “United Ghettos Of America” has a straight mob type beat sounds like an all out lets rip this beat type shit. This track features The Outlawz, MC Eiht, C-Bo, Cold 187, and Mad Lion. This track is a pretty good track to end things out on. Its just like an all out West Coast posse track and for the most part everybody handles their own.
Overall the production by Mobetta, Juan, Lil Ron, Lucky, Don Juan, EA Ski, Wayne D, Brotha Lynch, Roblo, Wolverine, Jazze Pha, D-Don was diverse which made the album have many more sounds than one. This is basically another Yukmouth album he is featured on all the tracks except one. It seems like he just rounded up all the Bay homies and called it the UGA album. Yukmouth sounded hungry on this album his voice was not all on that mad yelling type stuff like it has been lately. He toned it down pretty much all through this album and came really good with the lyrics and flows. All the guests held their own and so did the new members Nyce and Monsta Ganjah of the Smoke A Lot camp. Overall a real good effort from Yukmouth lets hope he can continue the trend and drop more tight albums in the time to come.
