Havoc returns after a year and a half with his 2nd solo, and one much better than his solo debut, and almost a classic. No doubt this will be one of the better albums to come out in '09. As a long time fan of Mobb Deep (since mid 1990's), I was happy when he finally dropped a solo in '07, but wasn't a little disappointed, it still was a low 4 star album but I knew he could do better, and he did with this album. With 14 songs, you get 1 classic, 2 almost classics, 3 ok songs, and the other 8 are good, or real good songs. Guests are minimal, rapping on 3 songs and doin' the hook on 2 more. He definitely came much hungrier on this, and it shows the most in the production, which he did all 14 songs; almost every one is very good. A must have album from a veteran who stays true to his street rap, like he did when he first came in the rap game in 1993.
If you like any of Mobb Deeps music you will realy like this cd from Havoc. This guy should have like 10+ solo cds under his belt because his style is grimey, lyrical and most of all hardcore rap music that sounds good. Hav is underrated like so many others out there.
