Reviews: Benzino left The Almighty RSO and founded the Made Men with Mr. Gzus & Antonio Twice Thou and put this out in 99. With 19 songs you get a lot of material and guests as well. Antonio Twice Thou is on 18 songs, Mr. Gzus is on 16, and Benzino is on 14. Of the 19, 1 is a classic, 1 or 2 I skip, 3 or 4 are o.k. and the rest are good songs. This was before Benzino was in his beef with the, at the time, not well known Eminem (who just came out 6-8 months prior to this release. Production is tight and mostly handled by Hangmen 3 (like all projects Benzino is involved with) doing 13 of the 19 songs. L.E.S. does 2 songs, Daz Dillinger & Soopafly, Dame Grease, Kanye West (this is the 1st song I ever heard him produce), and D-Dot all do 1 song. A nice album to have for your collection.
