The Soul classic sampled by the likes of Ghostface, Pete Rock and Lord Finesse receives an expanded reissue with instrumentals added. Whether or not you are aware of this album's classic Hip Hop roots, it's a very enjoyable listen. The chubby man known as Baby Huey expresses pain, hope and dreams to the tune of unforgettable Funk and Soul arrangements. One reason why "The Baby Huey Story: The Living Legend" remains a digger's favorite to this day is Huey's passion as a vocalist in an approach to music that is downright funky.
