Yay Game: The Best of E-40 (N/A, 2012) by Matthew Africa [mixer]

For an artist that has been around a quarter of a century, this is a good collection of tracks.  It covers solid solo tracks as well as collaborations.  It's the perfect music to put on in a car and just drive.  The best track, and personal favorite 40 track, is "Player's Ball" with Too Short and K-Ci.  Props to Matthew Africa for mixing a great array of material.

Unpredictable (No Limit, 1997) by Mystikal

Other than Snoop Dogg and Mac, Mystikal is the only emcee out of the No Limit camp whose records had technical merit and didn't just move units as a result of the seemingly invincible No Limit movement that Master P ushered in during the late 90s.  The opening cut, 'Born 2 Be a Soldier," gives Mystikal a proper introduction to the No Limit army and then Mystikal drops a solid collection of songs with few guest emcees. Even if one of the album's highlights is "Here We Go" with B-Legit, E-40 and Master P, there is no denying Mystikal's talent on solo cuts such as "Unpredictable" and a song he recorded about his deceased older sister called "Shine."
