    Talib is a top 5 MC, yet nobody gives him the respect he deserves. I remember bumping this CD on repeat in high school. Talib holds it down for true hip-hop!

    Just Blaze always been one of my favorite producers. He always had some hard hip hop beats but at the same time he knew how to put some soul into the music too. Can’t too many producers do that.
