I got a hold of this one last fall sometimes and I have to say the more I listen to it the better it gets. When I first heard it I put it in my top 10 albums of ‘07 but now it’s looking like top 5 material. Anyway, all rankings aside, even if you don’t like Moka’s deep lazy flow, you should still check this album for what Def 3 brings to the table. I know dude’s name is mad corny, but you well never hear another cat as crazy with the rhyme schemes as him. Most tracks clock in at under 3 minutes so give it a spin even if you’re working with a little time and cop it here if you like it (and you can afford a Canadian import).

Heard there was a bit of controversy about the release of JG’s video… anybody heard about that?  Also can’t wait for that new Skillz album, The Million Dollar Backpack…

(p.s. I know D posted JG’s album, but if you like what you’re hearing you really need to go out and get it. Just like gimmeadollr I already pre-ordered this joint and if you downloaded it you already know it’s crazy. We waited four long ass years to get a new album out of Jean and I don’t want to wait until 2012 for another so support the artists. That’s the point of the blog, so you can explore new artists and find some dope MCs who you are feeling to a point that you don’t mind dropping 10 dollars in order to support them. Seriously, there’s far to few legit female emcees in the game to make Ms. Grae leave it don’t be a douche and buy it here for 10 dollars. If you only buy one CD a year and you like this one, do cop it).
