Cold Chillin's Smooth Assassin Grand Daddy I.U. let's his young gunners blaze the mic in New York tradition, showing that the skills never left the tri-state. Peep the skills of John Jigg$, Inf The GOD, Rah Hollowz, Bando Flee & Shortee Sha who drop slick punchlines and metaphors back-to-back. This is a refreshing display of skill to satisfy your thirst for beats and rhymes in an era where many underground Hip Hop songs fail to exceed the 2-minute mark.

What goes around comes back again when it comes to classic material, and the classic debut of Grand Puba is no exception. Revisit the distinct flow and charasmatic persona of Puba Maxwell as "Reel To Reel" gets completely remastered by Joe LaPorta @ Sterling Sound. As a native New Yorker who lived during the time of this album's run, this one is special. I can say with confidence that "Reel To Reel" remains one of those albums that captures the vibe of being a Hip Hop head from the city that never sleeps. From getting money, hanging on the block, seeking knowledge of self and everything in-between, The Puba brings you into life in the concrete jungle for '92.
