Kazy D originally from Texas who now resides and runs his label in Washington drops his debut album “A Letter From The Grave” on Badd Dawg Recordz. The album features 187 Klick, Lil Bucc, B.G., Mississippi, and many more.
1. “Intro”
Just kicking this shit off, Kazy D and the 187 Klick like this is that hardcore gangsta shit for the 95, you know the deal the times when all music was bumping.
2. “A Letter From The Grave”
This beat bangs real nice, this just brings you back manne, this makes you think of the good times when music made you feel good and you would just bang that shit out your trunk, good shit. The hook has that old school twist to it, it has sort of that sample slowed down feel to it, “This Is A Letter From The Grave To My Niggaz - Keep That Trizack In Your Sack And Your Niggaz On The Trigger - This Is A Letter From The Grave To My Niggaz - Keep Them Hizoes On The Track And Your Fingers On The Trigger.” This track is that dope old school gangsta shit, this is the shit makes you think streets, drinking 40’s pouring out a little liquor for the dead and gone, this is the type of shit a lot of us older heads grew up on, great track to kick this thing off on, Kazy D and click represent and drop a dope track.
3. “Down With The Klick: Gangsta Original Mixx”
Here we go this is that old school lounging gangsta shit, this is some good shit you get your late night ride on to, good dipping music with the top down type of shit. The hook is on the same notion as the previous track, that sample style, it has that west coast gangsta feel from the mid 90’s more good shit. Kazy D is dropping it on this one once again, he drops that hard repping for your city gangsta mobb shit, dope old school styled lyrics, keep on jamming here is another good cut.
4. “1.8.7 BADD Boyz: Mafia Mixx”
This beat is more simple, has the same hard mobby gangsta shoot em type of feel. The hook on this one has the repeat sample feel, has some excerpts from the song “Bad Boys” most people know the song from the show cops. This is Kazy & The Klick dropping thing on this track, they hitting you with the OG hard gangsta shit once again, they spitting about being down with this 187 Klick and how it goes down around their way, this aint no sissy shit they boys will lay you ten toes down type of lyrics.
5. “Ashes 2 Ashes” (Ft Big Chuck & Mississippi)
This track has a real slow mellow feel, this is that stop and think about what you are doing in life, reminisce music. This track Kazy & The Klick dropping some street shit, they telling a story about how life is lived, drugs, gangs, projects, all the shit they have had to endure while hustling in these streets, it aint no pretty picture no one wants to be in the streets living this day by day could be gone tomorrow life. You got Mississippi on the hook and most west coast folks should know who he is, he be on hooks a lot singing his ass off, he drops a more simple hook on this track but it does the job.
6. “Down Wit Tha Klick: Back Street Kreep Mixx” (Ft B.G., Lil Bucc)
This shit is another good track, when you hear old school style beats like this it makes you want to go back to the mid 90’s when shit just made you bang music with pride. The hook is another good one “If You Down With The Click - Let Me Hear You Say” very simple but it has that sample repeat feel, you will know when you hear it. Kazy D & The Klick drop some more dope shit, this is some more music for the crowds, another good track to let the trunk bang and play loud to bring you back, they letting you know don’t test the click basically we some real deal figgas.
7. “1.8.7 BADD Boyz: Drive By Mixx”
This is another mix of the track that is already on the album, this shit got a much harder beat this is the kick in your door start spraying type of shit. This is a good remix of the track, this is a much harder version, this is the shit that makes people noid some real killer gangsta music. Kazy D and the Klick just coming with sawed off pump we aint fucking with you bitches type of raps.
8. "1.8.7 BADD Boyz: Columbus Village Mixx”
This is another mixx of the track, they just dragging this track out but its all good it’s a solid mix and they still dropping the gangsta shit.
“9. Outro: 2th Real Niggaz”
This shit is just shout outs to all his homies, staff members, family, just giving praise to a lot of people that made this project happen.

Summary:
The production done by Mike Wingo, Todd B, Kevin Gardner, DJ Double R, 20 Sack was dope, this is the old school shit, the style of the beats is the shit that make you think 90s gangsta shit, make you think Dre bouncing in the 64, Ghetto Boy’s Mind Playing On Tricks On Me, just that reminisce good old classic sound. This album came out in the time that it seemed like all rap was good, no matter where it was dropping from, what artist, they would have a great album that made it worth paying money for. This album follows the trend of the early 90’s just that hard ass gangsta shit, their was no balling, flossing type tracks at this time it was all G shit, straight up don’t fuck with us or we will make it the last time you fuck with us type of music. If it wasn’t that it was some slowed down street shit about homies being dead and gone, pour out a little liquor, reminisce on my life type of music. Kazy D like all rappers after being in the game for long periods of time changed his style, but you have to change with the times because you cant be rapping 90’s in 00’s. The thing that counts is he is still doing which a lot of rappers from his time cant really say, on this album alone, he drops some good shit, flows were on point, as good as it could get for the most part. In the end this is a great one for the collection, it’s a short album but all the tracks keep the head nodding and bring you back to when you was jamming gangsta rap for the first time.
