Damn this shit is just as sick if not better than the first 4 in this series, Can't wait for Free Agent to drop.

PS actually go out and cop this album my dudes, even if you don't cop other albums. This nigga Joell actually gives back to his hood with the money he makes, he doesn't forget his roots

This is definitely some grown up shit...not dance music for da kids. Brooklyn does produce the best rappers...BK*bullshyt718 is right: Big, Lil Cease and Kim and them used to run wit Pac, in Brooklyn. Only a couple good rappers came outta Houston and nothing can be said about Houston rappers unless you talk about Scarface. Scarface is the ONLY rapper outta Houston wit the calliber to even compare lyrical ability to niggas like Jay-Z, Papoose, Joell, etc...HIP HOP IS BACK BABY!!!

Dre's probably the best producer in Hip Hop BUT he NEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVEEERRRRRRRRRR should've droped Joel. If I was Amalgam I'd sign Joel with the quickness and let him an Joe Budden drop fire all day.
