Album Notes & Community Reviews

Mostly self-produced under the heavy influence of psychedelics, Redman's sophomore effort plunges deeply into a murky, paranoid, and funk-drenched soundscape. Despite the artist's own mixed feelings towards the record due to the difficult mental state under which it was recorded, its intensely aggressive delivery and muddy brilliance have cemented its cult status among East Coast hip-hop purists.
