It's a shame that most people didn't know about Half-A-Mil when he was killing the underground.

Back in like '94-'95, he would be up on WNYU weekly, playing his demo tracks. We were recording all of his sh*t straight off the radio back then, before we met him. One night The Roots came up there and he was rapping over them playing live for over an hour. Freestyling! When DJ Scratch was trying to help him get on, that's when dude was in his prime. This was years before the situation with The Firm.

We all thought he was next. I still have a ridiculous amount of tapes with his unreleased music on them. Mad songs that never saw the light of day, but could've easily been put together for a classic album, if he had a deal. He was a really good dude. Definitely gone too soon.

But his album Milion was dope as fukk, I played the hell out of it. His 2nd album had some joints but the production was a big drop off

This been heard!!

Yes of course. We heard this in the 90’s and it’s not the first time on streaming either as it appeared on AZ Lost and Found tape in 2019 (as Blood Money). but was just interesting that he re-released this and it sounds like they attempted to mix it.
