In 2003, Danny "Buddah Bless" Hill is one of the main guests of "Love Hell or Right (Da Come Up)", the first album by Wu-Tang Clan producer Mathematics. Buddah Bless also gets a solo track and momentum gained from the Mathematics record, which sells tens of thousands of copies, allows him to publish a solo CD, which comes out the following year without a budget. Production is handled largely by Hitman Ali Vann, Dibbie Tech makes four beats, Shy is credited once.
The record takes every turn in an effort to find as much hip-hop audience as possible and sell a few copies. Nothing works, because every choice is effortless and sounds subdued. In the first track, the boy seems to want to choose an energetic and aggressive delivery style, he's not saying anything, but the problem is that the song is all hook shouted. From the very first moments, the rhythm selection is scarce, the boom bap is poor and the rapping is even weaker. Bouncy, g-funk, southern, crunk/snap, rnb ballads and even Latin songs follow, few of these are listenable.
The last track is a Mathematics concession to the rapper, I hope. "Always N.Y" is one of the tracks from "Love, Hell or Right", which features Buddah Bless along with Icarus (uncredited) and at the Wu-Tang Clan, where actually only Masta Killa, U-God and Inspectah Deck perform. In order to add some appeal to a blank record, Buddah Bless credits the Staten Island supergroup and gets the best track of the album, which obviously has nothing to do with the rest of the listening. In later years, Buddah Bless limits his contributions to Mathematics records and in the 2010s a hip-hop producer with the same pseudonym makes his way and begins to create one hit after another, to the point that some sites confuse the credits of the two artists, including that for the debut of Buddah Bless rapper affiliated with Mathematics, which is featured in Big L's "8 Iz Enuff" posse in 1995.
