MC Shy D abruptly separates from Luke Campbell and is label to drop his effort number three via Benz Records and On Top Records. Music is handled by DJ Toomp, MC Shy D and Michael Sterling. He hadn't gone badly in previous years, but here he falls: everything still points to the skeletal and raw beat (in 1990!), with bad results. The only silver lining is that the guy still proves to have a following among his niche audience and the title track is driving the album up in sales, even if it lacks the promotional push of his previous releases under Campbell.
Indecent and bad cuts come out, taken away by the game by the stretcher bearers: the rapper's rhythmic delivery slips away worthily, there's also some good samples, but the rhythms don't play in his side, they're too simplistic, minimal and lean for the time, the scratched functional hooks sound bad, and it's not clear what the purpose is to put a soulful R&B ballad ("You Are Everything") also in this mass of banal simplistic beats. Illmatic length, Hammerian vibes, don't bother about it. 3/10.
