How does it happen that a dude who has an A-List level flow and beats that are virtually interchangeable with Primo, Pete and Extra P not get more love?
I had the Ultramagnetic album where he dropped a verse on "Raise It Up"....
and then....he had joints that were underground but outside of the tri-state, no burn.
I'm baffled. I'm going back and listening more closely to his joints and I'm trying to understand who was seeing him at that time in NY. I'm at a loss.

Even though he hasn't released anything new in a long time other than unreleased material, he still was an ill rhymer, had dope beats for days, had weird subject matter on Kool Keith's level but still do the gangster shit too like Kool G. Rap ish.
The sad thing is that he use to put a demonic-ish in his rhymes and I think him not getting any love outside the underground scene made him rethink his persona and he got saved and what not and just basically retired from making music or that's what I heard from a few djs & producers.
I also heard he was going to go the gospel hip-hop route in production but nothing ever surfaced from that, oh well, he's still one of the best to me.
