its not a bad album. definitely not as good as his first one but eh. i support him. queens all day
Its a shame that Big Noyd is so slept on because he really puts in work and releases good music. My favorite track on this album is Drama... the beat is bangin' and Noyd rarely misses when it comes to lyrics.
Big Noyd returns after 16 months with is 7th solo (he also has a Noyd Presents album and a mixtape hits album to his catalog). I have 9 albums of his, and this album, along with his 1996 "Episodes of a Hustla" and 2005's "On the Grind" I"d give 4.5 stars. His others I'd give 4 stars (2003 "Only the Strong", 2006 "Stick Up Kid", 2008 "Illustrious", 2008 "Street Kings" and I'd also give his 2007 Big Noyd Presents "The Co-Defendants" 4 stars, and his 2003 "Armed & Dangerous: Best Of" a 4.5 star rating. Like he has been for the last 16 years, he keeps his album street/gutter oriented with mostly deeper, darker, grimy beats and shorter (All 8 of his albums are between 8 and 15 songs and between 37-51 minutes, with only 2 being longer than 44 minutes, and his Best of Album is the only long one, over 25 songs and almost 80 minutes). It took him 7 years after his debut to drop another album, but in last 6 and half years he put out 7, and all are worht a listen, this being no exceptiona nd one of his bsest albums. With 14 songs, you get 2 near classics, 2 ok songs, and the other 10 are good, mostly real good songs. Produiction is very nice as well. DJ Skizz does 6 songs, Ric Rude and Essoil do 3, MoSS & Vinny THunn each do 1. A must have album for fans of real street rap.

Return to the classic sound of the mobb and noyd of the old days.Every song is a banger except "Get It Done" I'll delete that song cause it doesn't belong on this album.
