Album Notes & Community Reviews

Departing drastically from the instrumental trip-hop of his earlier masterpieces, the producer fully embraces the burgeoning Bay Area 'hyphy' movement. The album proved highly polarizing among fans for its aggressive shift toward conventional rap features and crunk-oriented production. It includes notable appearances from E-40, Keak da Sneak, and David Banner.
