Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following a near-fatal heart attack and his departure from House of Pain, the veteran MC completely reinvented his sound with this blues-inflected solo comeback. Seamlessly blending acoustic guitar storytelling with gritty hip-hop drum loops, the record achieved massive crossover success and established a blueprint for the emerging country-rap crossover movement.
