Big Shizl aka Shane Coleman is a singer, songwriter and producer based in California. The first single and lead track "Down The Block" brings a seriously southern "roll your windows down" track with pumping bass as the rapper seeks to bring God to the block. A mix of southern and west coast vibes fill the album with a few eight-bit tracks ("Game Over") and party bangers (such as on the pulsating second single "Favor"). "Squad Up" features a military-style pulsing bass sound the emcee calls all the soldiers for Christ to stand up. As the album ends out the tempo drops a touch on "Never Know" but Big Shizl stays on point with the laid back "Reason I Breathe" on which a steady flow is balanced by smooth vocal hooks.
