Some of y'all rap heads never dug deeper than the most beautifulest, and it shows. This album showcases Mr. Murray at some of his most charismatic moments, and we're here to tell you all about it. This is also a battle for world production supremacy, as both Erick Sermon and Jay Dee turn in some timeless compositions. Of course the whole Def Squad are present, as well as Keith's LOD family, and can't leave out a nice Bussa Buss moment too.

If you like the work we put in here, we'd be so appreciative if you show us at https://buymeacoffee.com/thenope

I'm Kurious! Do you know this album? I wanna know what's on your mind. So many goodies on here, from his work with the Beatnuts and Casual, to the raucous contributions from his own crew, this is an album that should be way more well known than it is, and any DOOM aficionado's work is incomplete if this record isn't a well-versed portion of their vocabulary.

The!

This particular group only put out 2 albums. Both were arguably flawless, but the first was the one with the colossal hit that everyone knows......so, we're here to chat about number 2. The Digables elevated their sound in several ways on this release, and it's a joy to dive through. C-Doc joins the later part of the celebration.

Unspoken Heard - Asheru & Blue Black - Seven Heads...vastly underrated collective with a lot of quality material out there. We give this album a solid runthru and talk about so many of it's meaningful moments.

Leaders of the New School didn't quite survive this album cycle, but we sure are glad this album survived. Many folks just couldn't connect with it, but we're here to pick apart just what these particular connections are all about.

The good homie Mindbender Supreme shares some invaluable timbits on this one.

Tim Dog! What's his motherfluffing name?

Oh wait that's from his first album. This is his 2nd.

Rest in power to a wild emcee like none other.
