01. KJ-52 - Welcome to Five Two's (1:48)

02. KJ-52 - KJ Five Two (4:02)

03. KJ-52 - Whoop Whoop (2:53)

04. KJ-52 - Dear Slim, Part 2 (4:36)

05. KJ-52 - So in Love with You (3:14)

08. KJ-52 - Back in the Day (3:47)

09. KJ-52 - Can I Speak With a Manager? (interlude) / Ya Bref Stank (4:05)

17. KJ-52 - I'm Guilty (3:52)

18. KJ-52 - Outro / Gimme Dat (3:12)

However, I found I could enjoy this better in smaller doses than all at once.  It’s fun, and it’s great that KJ has both a sense of humor and a dedication to the Lord.

The first track of the Overture in D, is so majestic that it would fit right in with Handel’s Music for Fireworks at a majestic function.

Lotsa fun and not just all trumpetizing!

PS isn’t it cute that most of the accents above the last name of Maurice André appear to hand-drawn?!?
