I really feel sorry for this guy. Not only did his label fold shortly after this album was released but this excellent album will forever be remembered as the first album Kanye West produced...
That's a damn shame because Grav is a rapper who can hold his own regardless of the production (handled by Chi Towns finest aka No Id, Dug Inf, Kanye and Andy C). His not the second coming of Rakim but if it's mid 90's hiphop you're looking for this is not to be overlooked. The same label also released the excellent "God Connections" by Al Tariq and "Audio Sedative" by LA duo Mannish [both albums coming later]. Soundwise it's not all that different from the Al Tariq album although not quite as good simply because Fashion is a better rapper than Grav.
The term "lost classic" or "overlooked album" is thrown around very loosely these days but this one fits the bill.
