well once again, mega does it. I actually listen to every song on this cd they are all great. Standout tracks are beautiful mind, The bond , more crime even tho all the songs are good. Dont miss out on this if you are into nas, wu tang (lets just say real hip-hop) you will definately enjoy this cd. If you like cashmonkeys, chingy and all dumb hip hop then go buy the hip hop for dummies book. nuff said

5.0 out of 5 stars Correction, June 20, 2004

First off, let's get one thing straight. This album is not meant to be a Cormega solo album, so please ignore the reviews written by people who didn't do their research, dummies. This album is a compilation album for Cormega's independent record company Legal Hustle and showcases the people signed to the label alongside other guests. So ignore those people who whine about this album not being enough Cormega, because it's not a solo album. The next solo albums to drop from Cormega are entitled Urban Legend and The Testament will also finally get to see the light of the day before christmas.
Back to the point, the album is hot, beats are quality and the lyrics are tight, so don't sleep!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Street Compilation Classic......., May 27, 2004

MEGA comes through once again with a definite street banger. Lyrically & Production wise this album is incredible. Anyone who bumps this loudly & beautifully in a car with a banging system will know exactly what I'm talking about.

On the lyrical side of things, Mega teams up with the likes of street legends like Ghostface, AZ, & MOP for some no-nonsense, non-commercial, just hype & poetic songs,... as well as introduces some of his Legal Hustle crew members, the best of which is Miz with a veru grimy, gutter type flow. Also, the female, Dona is nice too.

Production-wise, Legal Hustle got hooked up with the likes of Ax the Bull (familiar to most who listen to hiphop emanating from Queensbridge), J. Waxx Garfield, The Feil Brothers, Emile, Ayatollah, etc. If you don't recognize these names then you're definitely plastic and been lost. No big names just pure artists who make quality banging beats. Also, Cormega handled production on a few of the songs and did a great job. The vibe you get throughout is very soulful and melodic sampled beats with various live instruments throughout.

As for songs, remeber that this isn't a Cormega album, but a compilation so there are songs showcasing just his crew solo. Though he is on most songs. And the best part is unlike alot of other big name artists, Mega never gets out-rhymed on any collabo song on the album. Never. Personally, my favorite tracks are:

"Intro" (2 Producers, 2 fat Beats... 2 Songs basically split. 1 for mega solo, another for Miz and Dona. Both songs are tight),

"Beautiful Mind" (produced by Mega himself, and a beutiful soulful beat that forces you to just up the volume and drive with the windows down on the highway.... Incredible Classic Cormega),

"Tony Montana" (with Ghostface & Mega spitting gems beautifully together),

"The Bond" (with Mega & Dona... Nice production),

"Redemption" (with AZ & Mega's laid back smooth flows melding sweetly),

"The Machine" (Legal Hustle Crew spitting tight fire together)

Other songs are great too, but I have no room or time to expand. Plus, you all know if you would like this or not. If NOT, then somethings definitely wrong with tyour ass and your lame as hell. Let his last 2 albums be an indication. Both Classics. So, if you like true street hip hop with incredible talent pick this up or check it out. And for those of you who want Cormega rapping solo for dolo, then wait for his album "Urban Legend" coming soon................
