This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review The Depot by Less Than Zro. This was released on Big Heavy Records in 1993. (Big Heavy Records is not be confused with NOLA music distributor Big Easy.) The album was recorded and mixed at U Be U Studios in Saginaw, Michigan.
Less Than Zro is Saginaw's version BDP as Kaos & Mystro were Detroit's version of BDP except Less Than Zro is a more gangsta version of BDP!
Nicked Plated is a song about how Trigger Man D is selling B-52 to fiends in the city of Saginaw which is a city full of fiends. Dopefiends that is! The song Nickel Plated isn't about 24 inch rims that rappers be rappin' about nowadays. So get it twisted. Ya dig? Other than that, Trigger Man D sounds a lot like KRS-ONE on this track. In fact, Nickel Plated samples BDP - House Niggas and has that U BE U Studios to it.
Mind of a Gangsta is within the mindset of a gangsta from Saginaw, Michigan. It's about dope dealing, destruction of property, possession of stolen property, and disorderly conduct. As I said Less Than Zro is a more gangsta version of BDP! That's all I need to say.
I rate this album, The Depot, 4/5****!
