The success of their flagship single allows the group to embark on a national tour and maintain the deal for a second LP with Atlantic via Big Beat.
The tape is self-produced by the group, and boasts a beat by Lord Finesse in "Money Talks": it sounds different, there's a good sax sample, a tight and hard midtempo drum, but the performers don't seem to care too much about the goodness of the production provided by the DITC man and deliver hardcore, raw, tasteless, they don't create what seemed to be destined to become another of theirs hits. For the remaining fifty minutes and eleven songs, the boys say practically nothing with aggressive and gritty rap, dropping an accessible, flat and boring album.
The music is the best part of the project, the guys get by behind the keyboards, there's a more than competent choice between loops of drums, melodic jazz samples and bass lines. In addition to the title track, they stand out "Make Some Noise", the banger of the album, and "Sunshine", which has a fresh, lively and enveloping sample, and one of the best rhythms on the CD. The sophomore doesn't sell well, and above all, doesn't extract hits like the previous one, becoming the last effort of the Jersey City group's career.
Rating: 6/10.
