This is not the album to be expected from the greatest producer and MC still alive and kicking. From the spectacular opener “My Life Is Real” is downhill on. “New York State of Mind Pt. 3” is a mess, especially the ending, where Preemo mixes (and misses) the original New York State of Mind with Billy Joel’s song. Fillers like “My Story Your Story” (the least of all Nas-AZ collaborations) and the winding “Bouquet” is b-side material. Having heard the incredible “Define My Name” earlier this year, I had such great expectations of this long-awaited album. It falls (very) flat!

Finally we got that premo and nas alvum !!! For me a dream came true ! This isr absolutely what I have waiting for ! A must buy for all real hip hop headz!
