Godfather Buried Alive 2004 Album

Shyne

It's a shame that Shyne seems to have lost his voice while he was incarcerated. He had this great raw style on this and his debut which work well over the right beats, for which this album, more so than his debut has. There are only a few songs that don't work. 'Jimmy Choo', with Ashanti, is too pop for Shyne, 'The Gang' beat is lacking and 'Behind the Walls' doesn't suit him or fit in with the rest of the album's production. The production itself comes from some big names, and Shyne himself provides the beat for a diss track that was recorded from a phone from prison, 'For the Record', along with co-producing a couple of others. It's a tight 4/5 as a few don't work but I love the best few. Best Tracks: More or Less, Shyne, Martyr, Godfather, Edge, Diamonds & Mac-10s
