Big Noyd drops his first album in years and it is right up there with Prodigy's H.N.I.C..The production is mainly handled by Alchemist & Havoc, but up & coming beatsmiths Emile and Sebb produce some of the best songs(Higher, The kid is nice, & Going right at em' w/ PMD). Noyd easily hold his own on every track and the guests make solid contributions, too. His whole fam gets down- Hav, P , & the Infamous Mobb.All of which, have been hitting the mixtape scene hard this year also check Alchemists' Insomnia mix + Cutting Room Floor c.d.
This cd is really good. I loved the production on it. The beats were pretty good sh**. Big Noyd rips up this albums pretty good. I think this album is better than "On The Grind", so check this one out. Gots a lot of straight vibes to it, straight lyrics. Some gangsta feel in some tracks. Good appearances by Prodigy/Havoc. Some of the beats on here are straight bangers, but I dont think its close to being all commercial sounding n sh**, just bangin beats. Keepin it real though. "Air It Out" has an insane beat. Love it. Check this album out for sure, you wont be dissapointed. Overall rating is 4.5/5 not 4.

After a 7 year break since his last album (his 8 song debut "Episodes of a Hustla") Noyd is back with a full length 14 song album. Out of his 3 albums it is my least favorite but it still is a good album. It starts off a little slow but picks up A LOT after track 8. As with his debut, Prodigy is on a lot of songs (6 of the 14) as is Havoc (3 of the 14), and a few others are on here as well. Also like his debut there is not a lot of solo's (Only 5 of the 14). Production is pretty good and handled by Havoc, Alchemist, Emile, Sebb, and Steve Sola. It has 1 classic, 2 near classics, 7 good songs, 4 that are ok, and 1 I skip. For fans of the real gangsta rap and QB rap you should check this out, as well as his other releases.

After 7 long years of dropping his first solo album, the R-A-Double P comes back wit some gangsta $###! This album right here is a classic. My opinion is one of the best underrated albums this year. Noyd drops ill tracks such as Shoot 'Em Up (Bang Bang) (dope track of the year) wit Alchemist on the track, other tracks wit Mobb Deep, the Infamous Mobb, PMD, and others. If you don't have this album, it's a high recommendation to go and get it! It's a must have!
this is awsome its almost has good has willenium by will smith. track 3 is great i plus he has gotten so huge have u seen the cover hes hot and im a guy.
i often wack off to the cd booklet hahahahhaa get man??-
