To get the year off to a good start, Hus Kingpin puts together sixteen songs from the past and comes up with a compilation that once again shows off his mic skills.
The titles are rephrased a bit for some reason and there are plenty of guests, including Rozewood, Planet Asia, Tristate, Supreme Cerebral, Vic Spencer, SmooVth, Guilty Simpson, Conway the Machine, Westside Gunn, and Kool G Rap. The flow of the emcee is velvety, sober, clean, it runs very well especially when it's aided by a laid-back, relaxed, glossy, jazzy music, and this tape is fortunately full of them, they're all songs that could revolve around films like "Borsalino", low-cost mafia movies of Italian-French production and some polar ones.
There's nothing a boom bap lover can complain about and there are several priceless tunes thanks to the feats, even if the record reaches its peak with the solo cuts, as if to demonstrate that Hus solo is a greater force, with "Ghost in the Sunshine", "Leila" (on the same beat as "I'm Traveling" modeled by DJ Honda for Mos Def) and the fantastic and dreamy "Wizard of Dons". 7/10.
