Review:This was actually a compilation album to introduce artists from Jay-Z's record label. It was marketed as a Jay-Z album in order to gain more attention.
Jay-Z decided to feature up and coming producers like Kanye West, The Neptunes and Just Blaze which would eventually become prominent producers in the mainstream today.
As Kanye West & Just Blaze are well-known for their soulful sampling skills, thus the album has a smooth and sample reliant sound. Jay-Z on the other hand was almost like a guest inside as the rappers took centre stage.
Track Picks:
- Guilty Until Proven Innocent
- Get Your Mind Right Mami
- This Can't Be Life
Rating: 3.5/5
