The Intro and Interludes don’t do much besides slowing the album down which is a recurring issue across many of 112’s projects. ‘Keep It Real (Interlude)’ even feels like a mini advertisement for Bad Boy: “Notorious B.I.G., B.I.G / Craig Mack’s the brand new flavor, mmm.” While a few tracks meander, there are still plenty of highlights, especially in the first half. The problem is that, despite how strong many of these songs are individually, the album as a whole isn’t as enjoyable a listen as it should be. The pacing suffers, and at nearly 80 minutes, it runs a few songs too long. Still, there are a lot of great moments here making this a recommended listen for fans of '90s R&B.
