Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Kurtis Blow, the Brooklyn trio's sophomore release solidifies their playful, beatbox-heavy aesthetic, bridging the gap between old-school party rap and the emerging mid-school era. The highly successful record pairs their charismatic, larger-than-life personas with heavy Roland TR-808 drum machine patterns.
