Another Green World too, though it wasn't immediate, and I'm still not into all of it. Justyn Dillingham , Thursday, 29 July twenty years ago link. Me neither On the other hand there are definitely some classics which still knock me out on the rare occasions where I dig them out and put them on again.

Probably heard tracks here and there on JP Chill's radio show throughout the 90s, but never the whole album. I'm blown away. Best 90s New York rap record?
