This album is always a good listen. Pop on your headphones and your're good to go. Real tight production with a nice flow to match. Your aren't gonna find something different or anything that stands out-just a overall good solid album from the 1st to the last track. Slept on but classic QB material. A must for any Mobb Deep fan.

Only 11 tracks, 8 songs and one being a remix, Big Noyd delivers a very strong EP for his debut at a young age. Being affiliated with Mobb Deep and having Havoc produce the album and Prodigy on all but one song doesn't hurt either, although you get less Noyd than I 'd have liked. Other than that, Havoc & infamous MObb are on one song each. It has 1 classic and the rest are great songs, with one being ok. The only ones I skip are the skits other than that it's a great must have album for fans of the hardcore rap.

First off, Big Noyd album is tight. Episodes of a hustla is a solid debut. I really liked the whole album. Unfortunatelly, the album is short but it worths listening. Raw beats, raw rhymes and a raw voice. I really liked this album cuz it is from the best Havoc (Mobb Deep) era. Havoc productions are deep and raw. My favorite tracks are "It's on you", "Usual suspects", "Infamous mobb" and "Recognize and realize pt. 2.". Check this album out. Dope.

Man they brought out some old gold from the Mobb Deep and Big Noyd on this one. Some familiar lyrics on a couple of tracks with different music that was good. Noyd would have fit in great on all the Mobb Deep classics but we should appreciate the work he did. I get all of his work and this cd is in my top 5 of Big Noyd. The only sucky thing about Episodes of a Hustla is that i think he hustled us out of some tracks! 11 tracks and the first 2 are skits? Intro was cool but we want more Noyd!!!! Only gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because because of only 8 songs and 3 skits, if that doesnt bother you this is a 5

this album right here is solid,big noyd is an affiliate of mobb deep,or an unofficial member of mobb deep,his first appearance can be found on mobb deep's stomp em out track 10 on the juvenile hell album.anyways here you have a young and hungry noyd,and he's good mad lyrical and he could flow,the beats are dark as hell and they remind me of hell on earth,or to me these beats sound like beats mobb deep would put in the cutting room floor,and they fit in the hell on earth album well some of them,this album is that straight projects music.this is recommended for fans of qb hip hop, fans of mobb deep before they fell off,and if u like the hell on earth album this is recomended too because the beats are dark.my only concern with this album is that its too short,thats because he had to go to jail for violating his parole or something like that so they had to grab what ever he recorded and make it an ep,don't sleep on this get it before it goes out of print.
