4.0 out of 5 stars Lost And Found, April 14, 2005

By	Carltouis Stevenson (Angeles Mesa, Los Angeles) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This debut from New York's southside Jamica, Queens crew led by Mr. Cheeks has made boyz with their hustlin', partying, street grooves on Legal Drug Money. With memerable, catchy hooks and freestyle rhymes the Lost Boyz had themselves an almost classic. Their party, upbeat joints like "Music Makes Me High" and "Get Up" are what makes this such a hot commodity. On the other end of the spectrum we have "Renee". This is a song mourning over a death. Besides, Mr. Cheeks uses the word love and keeps it raw and hardcore. Member Freaky Tah also represented on here with Mr. Cheeks and with a solo song, "1,2,3". Going back to their most obvious freestyle flow, listen to the two of them on "All Right". A couple more upbeat tracks would have absolutely made this a classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ahh yes...Another one., September 23, 2006

How could you not not own this and call yourself a hip hop fan. If you don't own this stop what you're doing and pick this up right away. Freaky Tah & Mr. Cheeks bring us their best record ever! If you remember this was considered mainstream at the time...I wish mainstream still brought us music like this. A great LP from the LOST BOYZ!!! RIP Freaky Tah

4.0 out of 5 stars Lost Boyz- Legal Drug Money , February 4, 2005

By	Constant (Vancouver, BC Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Hard to believe its coming up on nine years since the Lost Boyz dropped their debut "Legal Drug Money" (1996). Back then the Queens group consisted of members Mr. Cheeks, Freaky Tah (Dead) Pretty Lou and Spigg Nice (37 Year Jail Sentence). The fact that I still get play from this cd years later, shows that the Lost Boys made memorable music. My favorite track on this album is the single "Renee" a track about losing a love to death. They did not always shine on every track but on tracks like "Music Makes Me High", "Lifestyles of the Rich and Shameless, "Legal Drug Money", "Straight From The Ghetto" and the thugged out "1,2,3" they were unforgettable, excelling in delivering reality street raps. This is an album I recommend for the collection, Lost Boyz brought a distinct style and made an impact on Hip Hop, their is no possibility of reunion albums making the limited material they dropped all the more worth checking out.
