One of many tapes released by Buddha Monk in 2005, distributed through Chambermusik and his Duck-Lo Records. "Reloaded", referenced to "Matrix" sequel (2003), can be archived as his second CD and arrives many years after his debut, after his name has gone cold and in a period in which the Wu-Tang Clan is in crisis and there's talk of disbanding the supergroup. It's originally eleven songs to which six more are added (one instrumental) that are left over from the recordings of "The Prophecy". The tape features personal songs ("Missing You") and dedicated to girls ("Chill with You", "Butterflies"), and is mainly focused on thug and street themes in which the author ventures into battle rap with friends of Da Manchuz, present almost everywhere. Almost entirely produced by Lord Buddha Monk, the music disappoints in its economy and simplicity, it's a generic set with the negative peak of "Nigga Wut... LA-LA". The bonus tracks pick up a project that sank after about ten minutes, though nothing comes close to the cleanness of "We Roll in Brooklyn," the opening cut in which Buddha Monk delivers some thug rap with a good flow over a tense and circular production by Lord Finesse. Not recommended.
