Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following his acclaimed tenure with Brand Nubian, the influential emcee released a confident and highly charismatic solo debut. 'Reel to Reel' showcases his incredibly smooth, effortless flow over sample-heavy, jazz-infused boom bap production. The album solidified his reputation as a premier lyricist of the era, notably featuring early guest appearances from a young Mary J. Blige.
