2757808, Maybe the most overlooked 90s NYC album

And that album gets better with time.

Lost Boyz were set up to be the next Mobb Deep type of act when they came out in 95.

Everyone was talking about them but then they were one of the first acts to really get hit with the label push backs because the album didnt drop until like a year after their first single.

And the album had 6 singles. Lifestyles of the Rich and Shameless, Jeeps Lex Coups Bimaz & Benz, Renee, The Yearn, Music Makes Me High, and Get Up.

Shit, I think Keep It Real was an underground single first too, so that would make 7.

That was unheard of back then for hip-hop, granted two came off of soundtracks/compilations.

The title track was always my shit too! I love that beat.

There really isn't a bad track on the album and I think the push back kind of killed their momentum because there is no reason that album is talked about among AT LEAST the B-level classics from that era.
