Album Notes Personnel: Styles P. (rap vocals). Additional personnel: Marsha From Floetry, Gerald Levert, Jagged Edge (vocals); Rashad, Sizzla, Swizz Beatz, Talib Kweli, The Lox, Flipsyde (rap vocals). Styles P had been through his share of trials and tribulations, between the success of his certified gold debut, A GANGSTER AND A GENTLEMEN, and the release of its much-delayed follow-up, TIME IS MONEY. After a brief prison term for assault, Styles's label drama began, and he chose to go the mixtape route, recording three while Interscope put TIME IS MONEY on the back burner. Nearly two years after its first single came out, the Lox's most laidback crew member's sophomore album finally arrived to smash the world. With his measured cadences, sly one-liners, and understated intensity, Styles P once again proves he can display all the lyrical power of the most amped-up rhyme spitter without losing his cool. Tight production comes courtesy of Havoc, Lil Jon, Rashad, Hi-Tek, and the Alchemist, while the guest list features Talib Kweli, Jae Hood, Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, Akon, and Marsha of Floetry.
Industry Reviews [H]e's something of a throwback....A weather-beaten dude who conveys a deeply troubled, overwhelmingly masculine experience through a minimum of gestures.
3.5 discs out of 5 - TIME's best moments come when the Ghost drops his fist and focuses inward for inspiration.
