bay area mc/producer lyrics born drops his second lp. it's been a while since later that day... and his appearance on quannum's top-notch spectrum comp, but it's worth it.

lb is blessed with one of the most pleasant voices in rap--his burbly mumble can jump to a strident yelp and drop to a smoker's whisper with an amazing fluidity. play this with your parents in the car and they'll say "now this i like," complete with exaggerated head bobs and finger snaps. but please don't take that as a knock--this is just a great, big happy hip-hop album. the production is as funky as ever, and jurassic 5's chali 2na even bows in for a guest verse on 'hott 2 deff'.
