I’ve got Michael as AOTY and probably his best album overall. You can tell time and effort were put into crafting it. In this age of disposable, microwave music, this album had me looking at other rapper’s albums with disappointment & disgust…lol

Conway and 38 Spesh-Speshal Machinery
Estee Nack-Nacksaw Jim Dungan
Nems-Rise of the Silverback


Thats all I got for now
