Ratings have a purpose in music in giving people a fair reference of an artist/group's creativity. The album can also be romanticized further when they have such a humbling origin story. THIS was one of those stories. An album paid w/ the remaining money these two rappers had gathered, and risked it all on the creation of their solo album. One Be Lo and Senim Silla w/ only $500 they were able to find a label willing to give these guys studio time, each track elaborately mixed & mastered, and for the most impressive detail of all: the following tracks were all performed on only ONE take. Their gamble certainly paid off, and now I think it's fair to say that this album has successfully earned it's status as nothing short of legendary in the hip hop underground.
