Even though we hardly knew what half the record was talking about, we knew it was gold. Mr. Mixx, Luke, Brother Marquis and Fresh Kid Ice, authored a classic record! When you could only have a handful of tapes as a kid, this N.W.A. and Sir-Mix-A-Lot, were always in the stack.

December 07, 2021 04:37 - 1 hour - 212 MBJesus Piece is The Game's concept record built of religious ideology and gangsta perspectives.

Gang Related (The Soundtrack)
November 22, 2021 04:10 - 2 hours - 262 MBIn a time where Death Row was "Untouchable", there was the 2 disc soundtrack to Gang Related the Movie.

Benzino (Redemption)
November 02, 2021 03:03 - 2 hours - 232 MBIt's 2003 and Benzino releases his second album "Redemption". Beefing with Eminem in a time where shots were flying at Aftermath and Murder Inc; Benzino uses his influence and pushes hard at the label but this album is less about that and more about Hip-Hop.
