This my favorite M.O.P. album with First Family 4 Life a close second. This album has those aggressive lyrics and probably the best production in their catalog. DJ Premier, Nottz, DR Period, Lazy E Laze, Fizzy Womack, Chris Coker, and Curt Cazal handle the boards on this joint.
This album was fueled by the mega hit “Ante Up” and its remix that had radio and T.V. on smash in 2000. As we wait for another M.O.P. studio album, hit the break for the samples that were found. The vocal samples weren’t included in the set….if you have information on those…hit us up.
Props again to Soulcontrollah blessing us with this set. Hit the jump for info and link…
