Noyd's 4th album, and 3rd in less than 2 years (counting his greatest hits which has a few never released songs on it) is may be equal to his debut EP, "Episodes of A Hustler" and about equal with "Armed & Dangerous - best of Big Noyd" (maybe a little better) and I like it better then his last album "Only the Strong". It has 14 songs, of these a lot have guests (Prodigy is on 6 and Havoc is on 4, and 2 of the 3 members of Infamous Mobb and Illa Gee make appearances as well). It has 2 classics, 8 good songs, 3 that are o.k., and one I skip. The production is handled by Havoc & Ric Rude each does 6 songs, and Alchemist & Masberg each do a song as well, and for the most part the production is good. A must have album for real gangsta rap QB fans.

QB!!!!!
check all my reviews
i give this 5 stars because noyd really expands his range here and goes into new territory, its a hot album and his beat selections are not the same as only the strong, theyre much more diverse and still fire. cop it with an open mind, this is gonna be an album to bump this summer, just like only the strong is a hot summer album this one is too.
A pretty good album by Big Noyd. I liked the production, most of the beats were pretty ill. The lyrics were straight, not ILL but not garbage either. Pretty good appearances by the Mobb family etc. Overall a cd, and worth coppin. This cd could have been better in a lot of places, but its a good album. Some of the beats on here were kinda ehh, but most were ill as I said. It just seems like every track on the album has appearances by Mobb Deep, but besides that Noyd is ill. Cop this.
