However, with the recent release of his new mixtape 30 Day Takeover, The Game soundalike is making a name for himself on the West Coast scene.

Featuring 30 raw and hard tracks, Jay Rock has expanded his repitore and sharpened his delivery and wordplay while displaying a wider range of emotion than shown before. A solid album that can be played from front to back on the iPod or in the car - I give this album a 4.5 out of 5.

Some standout tracks include:

The Takeover - Jay Rock flexes his vocals here and sets the tone for the rest of the album

Plenty Money - A nice West Coast G-anthem

Mandatory - K-Dot and Jay Rock are becoming quite the West Coast duo, especially with standout tracks such as this one

What's my Name - I'm sure West Coast veterans will identity this iconic beat, and Jay Rock does this track justice
