The bulk of production was handled by Fury Figeroa, making 9 out of 10 beats for the project. Hard-hitting songs like “The Dry Cook” featuring Bleezo are heating up the california streets, especially in Sacramento, where a handful of Still Gangy’s featured artists call home. Never one to be stingy with the shine, the album plays more like a fresh compilation of G-Funk artists, rather than a solo LP, with the intro song “Last of the OG’s” being the only cut Spank does by himself.
