Album Notes & Community Reviews

Expanding vastly on the legendary lyricism of his debut, the Juice Crew star embraced a wider, slightly more commercial R&B-infused production style on his sophomore effort. The album brilliantly balances incredibly complex, rapid-fire battle raps like 'Warm It Up, Kane' alongside smoother, romantic crossover attempts. It stands as a flawless showcase of his unparalleled technical prowess and effortless swagger during the golden era.
