by Sean Deez June 22, 2009 Music Reviews

“Entirely produced by Khrysis.” This is really all I needed to see after reading the press release of L.E.G.A.C.Y’s sophomore album, Suicide Music. Not saying that Leg is a slouch, because quite frankly, behind Phonte and Pooh, he may be the strongest member of the Justus League collective. I was first blown away by L.E.G.A.C.Y [...]
