Requesting any information on this release. Mainly the track list and a few mp3s, (I'd be very gracious for the cut/s featuring Playa Fly & Gangsta Black).

I'm interested in the CD for a few reasons.
One, from the guest appearances on the album, it seems he knew Playa Fly & members of the SPV click very well. And may have even been a member of the short-lived SPV click. Secondly and oddly, he posts the lesser known nicknames of Playa Fly(Cowning King) & Gangsta Black(G-Black) on the cover of the CD. The whole point of having a feture callout on your album cover is to in short capitalize and entice off the name of other established rappers. It beats me why he wouldn't use their proper stage names.

It seems he knew their importance and put their name first in effort to have a list of acts descending in order of stardom, but for some reason their official names weren't used.

13. Outro

The only Flizy verse is on dat posse cut with the whole SPV click, which was also on their tape. Average album IMO, most of the beats sounds pretty old, I think some of the tracks has been recorded way before 1997...

^^^True

But yeah, this was most likely recorded way before 97. This sounds likes Gangsta Blac's demo album or something. They have a bit of an eastcoast flow on the song.

Edit:
Well since they are shouting 96 at the end, I guess it wasn't that far from 97. However, the songs reeks of early southern rap identity shakiness, it's sounds like it was done before the "Memphis Sound' was establish.
