Insomnia: The Erick Sermon Compilation Album 1996 Album

Erick Sermon

I'm an Erick Sermon fan, so I'm surprised that I missed this project. I think because it's labelled as a compilation, I always assumed it was best off, but it's all new music, just made up of different artists. Redman produces the first two songs, and Erick handles the rest. I haven't heard of many of the artists who, checking out their credits, didn't have long lasting successful careers, but they all rap well enough over these strong boom bap beats. Apart from the radio skits with Cherry Martinez, that are annoying and corny, there isn't anything to not enjoy. If you enjoy that classic east coast boom bap sound, this is worth listening to. Best Tracks: Redman - Funkorama, Passion - As the..., Jamal & Calif - Beez Like That (Sometimes), Duo - On the Regular, Erick Sermon - Reign
