Joe Budden is back once again with another great album (like his debut - I don't have any of the Mood Muzik mixtapes). It's a shame he kind of fell off the radar when his debut didn't sell like it was supposed to, but he continues to show his excellence on the mic with this and almost every song I hear him featured on. With 16 songs, you get 2 classics, 1 almost classic, 11 are good or real good songs, and 2 are ok. Guests are minimal as well and are some nice underground artists appearing on 4 of the 16 songs you get a good deal of Joe on this one. A must have album and so far one of the top 3 albums of 2007 (with Joell Ortiz "Brick: Bodega Chronicles" and Dogg Pound "Dogg Chit"). A must have album for fans of true hip hop.

Here is yet another poor attempt by this b level artist to make a mixtape. SAve your money. Go cop some Wu-Tang!
All tracks have bad quality and are recycled and heard before.
