Beautiful production on this album. You kicked the year off with a banger. Mad props for this one.

Don’t know the sample for “Tony Montana”. And what other single are you talking about?

Samples were hard to come by for this and his other albums.

Don’t know the sample for “Get Out My Way”. I want to know that one and “Thun and Kicko” as well. Those were two of my fav’s from the album.

Tony Montana was used by G-Dep on It’s all over, on Child of The Ghetto, an album with so many hardcore gems it’s a shame it’s slept on. peace

9 mr.martin January 2, 2009 at 11:06 pm

and by the way, since this is the samples section, the sample used by g-dep and cormega is SHIP AHOY by the OJay’s a real masterpiece too.
