After his debut H.N.I.C. album in the late 20th century Prodigy proved himself able to carry an album on the dolo! He's voice and lyrics are gritty and many can feel his pain. Those combined with his regular cast of producers (Mobb Deep partner Havoc and recently The Alchemist) keeps his projects usually above the competition.

Now doing the independant route via Koch, Prodigy hopes to repeat and surpass the success the MOBB had on independant status i.e. Free Agents. Produced entirely by The Alchemist, this album shouldn't have a problem on the beat side of things.

The album starts off messed up with the whole return of the mac theme playing from the popular song of a few years back but quickly returns to prominence with "Return Of The Mac", the second track. "Stuck On You" is vintage Alchemist complete with soul and movie like sound. "Down & Out In New York City" uses a sample from James Brown to its best but we don't get to hear Prodigy spit because it unfortunately it blends off into "The Rotten Apple", slow track that allows Prodigy to talk about why his streets are the roughest.

Other tracks you will like include "Legends", "Stop Fronting" and "That's That". The 14 song CD has three bonus tracks and it's good if your familiar with Prodigy's style but this is not his best work.

Overall I'll give it 3 GeoGlobes.
