Yahoo! Music Album Review

Released on 31/01/2000
Label: Interscope

Formerly a Bad Boy Entertainment act, Lox return as part of the Ruff Ryders collective which last year spawned the hugely successful female MC Eve and took her debut album to the top of the US Billboard chart. It's typical smoked-out cruisin' music with all the familiar traits that go along with that brand of hip-hop. No surprises, but if this is you're thing… There are a couple of interesting guest contributions here from two of hip-hop's hardest working, and best, producers – DJ Premier and Timbaland. Both do no harm to their reputations with classy mixes, particularly Premo who cuts some mellow piano grooves into his distinct punchy and head-bobbin' style.
