Action Packed Adventure!, also known as Action Packed Adventure! (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), is the debut album by the rap group Yaggfu Front.[2][3] It has been compared to the Pharcyde & Das EFX for its quirky and somewhat playful lyrics. The first single was "Left Field".[4] The title track is about the group's efforts to obtain a recording contract.[5]

Robert Christgau | [6] |
The Independent wrote: "The montage of found-sounds that separates the tracks—answerphone messages, fake announcements etc.—may be directly descended from De La Soul, but the vocal style here is less relaxed, more in the vein of speed-rappers like Das EFX. Fitting syllables to beats like complex jigsaw puzzles, their incessant rap style can ultimately be as wearing as their vocabulary is impressive."[7]
