5.0 out of 5 stars Actually a must, March 14, 2009

By	WallyJac (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews

After I deliberated so long over springing the cost of this mix that I hadn't much knowledge of, I decided that you don't have to be a Lateef fan in any way, shape, or form to enjoy this album to its fullest. It has everything to comprise an excellent hiphop mix. Stricly dope tracks with MC's to match. Simply put, an excellent work of art from Lateef & Z-Trip.
