Album Notes & Community Reviews

After a high-profile fallout with Nas and The Firm, the Queensbridge MC re-established himself as an independent powerhouse with this gritty, street-level debut. 'The Realness' features impeccably dusty boom-bap production from Havoc and The Alchemist, perfectly complementing Cormega's vivid, unapologetically authentic accounts of the New York drug trade.
