ALBUM Explicit

It seems like the hip-hop buying public has been inundated with entirely too many clique albums lately, and for the most part they've all been mediocre at best. The latest to try their hand at pulling this feat off is the Def Squad, better known by their individual monikers (Keith Murray, Eric Sermon, and Redman). Suprisingly they manage to succeed with their collaborative effort, particularly because individually they don't stray too far from what made them who they are.

The Green Eyed Bandit provides his customary laid-back funk beats on the production tip and continues to entertain with his simplistic yet endearing lyrics, Redman is well...Redman, and Keith Murray continues to surprise those who keep sleeping on his lyrical skills with an assault on the microphone that is sure to impress even his staunchest critics.
