Tony D, best known to hip-hop heads for producing an instrumental strikingly similar to Naughty By Nature’s O.P.P. before O.P.P. even dropped (though Naughty’s producer insists he never heard Tony’s track), steps out from behind the boards on this one. Typically focused on production and beat tapes, Tony tries his hand at rapping here, delivering conscious bars that occasionally veer into the corny territory. He’s not winning any best-spitter awards, but his performance isn’t anything near unlistenable either. The real highlight, however, is the production—packed with sample-heavy, boom-bap beats that showcase his talent behind the boards. It's all quite likeable making this an easy album to spin. Beats: ★★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★☆ Hooks: ★★★ Best Tracks: Check the Elevation, Buggin' on the Line, Droppin' Funky Verses, Listen to Me Brother
