Jay-z , dmx and ja rule would’ve sounded amazing over k-def. The lox tooi've said it before on other forums and i'll say it again, k-def's production on here was truly ahead of its time and some of the most overlooked work in hip-hop history. larry-o was a run of the mill biggie wanna-be but k-def took the lessons that marley marl taught him and became greater than the teacher on this lp. it's a shame that he never got more placements after this.
