Pete Rock’s production anchors this 1997 Soul Brother Records release, pairing his jazz-sampled boom-bap with InI’s lyricism across five tracks. Q-Tip and The Large Professor guest on standout cuts, bringing their respective East Coast hip-hop pedigrees to a project that epitomizes mid-90s underground rap’s sample-digging sophistication.
