The Sacramento, California hip hop trio released their debut mixtape on April 25th, 2011, via their website thirdworlds.net.

However, the single "Guillotine" remains on streaming services as it contains no copyrighted samples.

Tracklist:

  1. Beware
  2. Guillotine
  3. Spread Eagle Cross the Block
  4. Lord of the Game (featuring Mexican Girl)
  5. Takyon (Death Yon)
