Largely written by Big Daddy Kane and produced by Marley Marl, this has all of the hallmarks of an '88 album. Listening to this, so much has been influential. The amount of his lines that have been flipped to be classic hooks or just memorable bars from other artists demonstrates this. It's tough to evaluate older projects because I can't put myself in 1988, but all of this other albums have more going for them listening to them these days. Some of the mastering of the vocals sound very low quality too. I can barely understand him on 'This Is Something for the Radio' and he's just talking giving shout outs. If you’re a fan of ’80s hip-hop, you’ll likely appreciate this more than I do. For those who enjoy Biz’s style but prefer a more polished, modern approach to production, his later albums might be a better fit.
