Been doing this for as long as ive had an Amazon account but since this album is not on Amazon i thought id post it here.

Thats what i was thinking as i was writing it but no just wanted to show respect to Legz by calling him Mister but i could say Mr. Murrell but Mr. Diamond sounds cooler.

Cold 187-The Only Solution
I really don’t think this dude needs much of an introduction but here it goes: Cold 187 is a G-Funk producer who had his hand in Ruthless, Death Row and West World music and he has worked with Artists such as Easy-E, Dr. Dre, MC Ren, and 2Pac. He fronted the West Coast legend of a group Above the Law which as you know ICP has covered on several occasions. He linked up with Psychopathic in 2011 and a teaser Video was released with him spittin over the Assassins beat. This created a buzz and also created some hate when the announcement was made the Psychopathic Assassin would soon drop an album entitled The Only Solution. A tour and a Gathering later we got it. Many people hated on it but im here to speak some truth about this album. Here it goes.
1. "Born 2 Kill" "Follow The Leader" by Dark Lotus-This track opens the story up by telling a tale of a young boy with a father who kills for money and hes teaching him the bizniz until his dad is betrayed by The Black Swan which is his uncle. Shoots his pops in cold blood in front of him at only 13. Hutch vows to kill him one day. I really like the skits cuz it gives a great segue into the next track. 
2. "Job Well Done" "Nervous" by Anybody Killa-This track shows how deep 187 is willing to go. Many years later he is now a killer like his pop and he is contracted to kill Father Duckets who many may know from BMH. Well he is a pedophile who needs his lights turned out. 187  Pulls out his resources and goes as far as becoming a deacon in the church Father Duckets runs. With the help of one of Cold’s broads he takes out the priest with a shot to the dome.
3. "Layn' Low" "So High" by Twiztid-I love the beat of course but Cold just killed it with this one in a good way. Cold has a great sense of melody and it shows here. This song is the relax for a minute party song cuz even killers gotta have time off but even though he’s getting his he will still take a call from the Company.
4. "An Offer He Can’t Refuse" "Murder, Murder, Murder" by Twiztid-Willy Broscoe a crime boss has to die because he’s messing with the wrong people and who better to do it than Cold 187. I really like how every kill has that sound effect from Kill Bill it really adds to the track. Got em in the Japanese Spa at his most relaxed.
5. "Swan Song" "Ka-Boom!" by Dark Lotus- Cold is on the hunt for Black Swan and he’s in Atlantic City. 187 is close to getting revenge but does quite get it. 
6. "Judgement Day" "Deadman Walking" by Blaze Ya Dead Homie-This track Cold’s going after a Judge with no mercy. Of Course he knows ways to get the job done and he does. This kinda stays close to the OG chorus but of course has that Big Hutch smoothness. 
7. "L.A." "Suicide Hotline" by Insane Clown Posse – The Assassin goes home for a bit to get some more sun and relax. You’d be surprised how West Coast a lot of these songs sound with Cold spitting on them. All elements are here on this track: melody, story and a fat beat.
8. "3 Brothers" "Chicken Huntin' (Slaughterhouse Mix)" by Insane Clown Posse-3 brothers known to do some dirt have been targeted by the Psy Assassin. This song has tons of energy but most who listen to ICP will know that. Each brother falls to 187’s deadly tactics. 
9. "Swan Sighting" "Damn Bitch" by Blaze Ya Dead Homie-As he continues to hunt down the Black Swan he’s taken to Chi Town and is met with a set up by a dumb broad who sets him up to be taken out himself but as you know The Psy Assassin aint being taken out by some dumb broad. She got some slugs for the ruse.  
10. "Capitol Hill" "Marsh Lagoon" by Twiztid-Cold takes the job of hitting a senator with dirty habits. This one is more complicated since he’s out in the open but manages to make the hit and get away. 
11. "Interrogation" "Truth Dare" by Insane Clown Posse-This song is a glorified skit. I would have liked to here a song wabout what happened in the interrogation room not the actual guys talking but it does add to the story nonetheless. 
12. "Alive & Free" "Last Chance" by Anybody Killa-Cold does very well over these ABK beats. He is talking to his son in this one and he’s happy he’s alive after this chapter’s action. Cold adds a lot of melody to this song he even sings the verse. Im not sure if his son knows what he does for a living but it will be cool to see how things develop in the next one.

Pros-The story telling on this album is phenomenal. When you listen to it its like watching a movie unfold, a Tarrantino movie to be exact. I think if they could make a script for this it would be a cool action movie. Cold adds his own smooth style on every beat making them his own.
Con’s-I would have liked to hear maybe a feature or two and the Interrogation track could have been a full track rather than a skit to a beat. I would really like to hear original beats too beats that they crafted for the story.
Overall-The production quality is really clean the vocals are crisp and you already know the beats are bangers. I still don’t understand everyone’s beef with Cold 187. The dude has great skills and he definitely kept my attention through out the cd.  Again I would have liked some Original beats that helped the story move. I know that he said he reserves og stuff for other projects but it would be cool to hear the story continue with some authentic West Coast gangsta ish. This is a great album don’t listen to the critics.

The Next Review will be on Charges of indictment by The Dayton Family.
