Bets songs on here would be Bow down, The Gangsta the Killa and the dope Dealer and Westside Ho. Two Cypruss Hill diss tunes on here too one of which is a decent track - King of the Hill. All other tracks are very basic, I thought about getting Westside Connections album that came out after this one in 2003 but after getting this one. Listen to Bow Down on Spotify. Westside Connection Album 1996 13 songs.
