You're welcome man, I respect you checking out the work cause some people are really lazy in that regard and end up missing out on a lot of great work. What's your favourite album of his? Am quite interested in people's opinions on that, how about favourite songs? Props.

What album/compilation/mixtape this on breh :ohhh:



This shyt is ill. as far as I'm aware it's unreleased and not on any yet. Have you heard Play It?. That shyt is DOPE too. Those few tracks are interesting too because it's a different form of production, sometimes something which some are wanting so that's taster I guess. I'd be interested to see what a potential album with Premiere would sound like too, most probably crazy, they've been speaking about it. By all accounts K-Rino KILLED his song over the DJ Premier beat on the NYG'Z album with Lil Fame from M.O.P. It's called Introduction To Manhood, I can't wait to hear that.... Sounds like it will be ILL...

I was in a record store in Baltimore the other day and actuall flipped through the entire "K" section of CDs :russ:
I was gonna cop a Rino album - but they didn't have any :francis:

Yeah K-Rino is like the underground of the underground lol, I know you like copping in stores but I'd suggest you make an exception in this case, could discover something really dope. Knowing your taste, you may like Danger Zone , that album is kind of like on some early Scarface/Geto Boys shyt sound wise but more lyrical.

Always thought his aggressive style & dark content would fit better with Memphis/3-6 style beats moreso than a DJ Premier type producer...especially his "battle rap" tracks...prime Rino over a Paul & J beat would be :whew: but i think there are certain type of songs where Premier's production would fit well with Rino...an entire album...i'm not so sure tho.

But i generally never had a problem with Rino's production...particularly his earlier work that was produced by Dope E & Egypt E

I think it could really work with Premo but Premo would have to bring his A Game, but I think Premo is so dope he can step it up when he needs to. Like he can't give K them kind of beats he gave Saigon, but those NYG'Z type beats yes, if they can make it happen I would advise both of them to do it. Particularly K, cause it will shut down a lot of critics. I'm confident they could make it work, it certainly wouldn't be wack, I think K is such a GREAT MC he could really excel and make it work, I think his range as an MC makes him capable to pretty much do anything on the mic or stylistically. In regards to K's production I agree, I think that is way overblown and I have no issues with most of his production expect for 1 or 2 projects and and some songs where it could have been much more effective. I think Danger Zone was very well produced. @PlutoEighth @The Beast would be interested in what you thought of that album. It's got better and better to me the more I listen. A lot of classic songs and very impressive MC'in and lyrics.

You know I'm not hugely up on Three 6 Mafia, put me on man, what's their best projects? What you think I'll like?

Listening to the joint you posted and it sounds ill, I didn't realize they were so good, was surprised.

I see what you're saying about the beats, I just think the Premo work would help expand the fan base even further.

that 6ix commandments is pretty nice but there's no juicy j because of contractual obligations (can't be in the same group as dj paul). my favorites all time are underground vol. 1, da devil's playground, and murderers and robbers by project pat.

Mystic Styles
The End
Chap.2 World Domination

Any of these should do.

Underground Vol.1-3 would be a good look as well.

He's right there on the 1st verse in the track i posted :dwillhuh:

That shyt about "contractual obligations" being the reason why they're not regularly making music together is a bunch of BS...Has more to do with time & money moreso than anything.
