4. "Hovercraft Intro" – Bringing you back from Mecca blackwards with the ill skit, the ride continues as we take flight in the hovercraft…
5. "Why U Doin' That?" – A classic example of X-Clan’s message and style, with Brother J giving you some real talk. Street knowledge and conscious living equals a blue ribbon!
6. "Weapon X" – This is the lead single from the album. With it re-working of “My Name is D-Nice” fuzzy bass line as a foundation; Brother J can’t lose with this ultra banger beat.
7. "Speak The Truth" feat. KRS One - A nice track with the Grand Verbalizer teaming up with the Teacher equals one of the standout tracks on the album. KRS is in prime time stride with J on this track. This is one of the tightest songs on the CD.
8. "Positrons" – X-Clan works it out on their mid tempo fuzzy keyboard funk. It sounds nice in the ride, easy now man style to ride to while J breaks the positrons down. Tight.
9. "Mecca" – Bounce to this funky synth track as J and Jah Orah liven up the party.
10. "Prison" feat. Christian Scott – X Clan speaks out on the on going slavery of today’s prison system with this haunting track. Prison reform is the issue that needs to be heard, this song should help raise awareness on this problem. One of the standout songs on the CD, hands down. (Not for nuthin’ this is where the CD starts to heat up as well)
11. "Atonement" feat. Jah Orah – With the vibraphone rasta style laying the foundation, Brother J and Jah Orah schools us with conscious power and pleads for Atonement. Cool vibe on this one with its radio ready bounce.
12. "Brother, Brother" produced by DJ Quik – Synthesizer funk prevails on this DJ Quik produced track. J revives the classic X-Clan line “Brother, Brother, Brother” for the new jacks out there.
13. "Funky 4 U" feat. Chali 2na of Jurassic 5 – Brother J digs into hip-hop history with the Nice & Smooth inspired hook. No dancing in bright suits for X-Clan, J teams up with Chali 2na for a deep toned, collabo classic. Nice thump with this one.
14. "Self Destruct" – J builds on the topic of self destruction, as he notes the origins of street gangs and the underground. Let’s work it out now, this is a cool track.
