"Noyd's 4th album, and 3rd in less than 2 years (counting his greatest hits which has a few never released songs on it) is may be equal to his debut EP, "Episodes of A Hustler" and about equal with "Armed & Dangerous - best of Big Noyd" (maybe a little better) and I like it better then his last album "Only the Strong". It has 14 songs, of these a lot have guests (Prodigy is on 6 and Havoc is on 4, and 2 of the 3 members of Infamous Mobb and Illa Gee make appearances as well). It has 2 classics, 8 good songs, 3 that are o.k., and one I skip. The production is handled by Havoc & Ric Rude each does 6 songs, and Alchemist & Masberg each do a song as well, and for the most part the production is good. A must have album for real gangsta rap QB fans.

Straight fire

"This album is on fire with sick beats produced by Havoc, Alchemist, and Ric Rude who is making a name for himself. Noyd keeps the energy up and spits some sick rhymes along with the whole infamous Mobb deep family gettin down. If you dont know a lot about Big Noyd thats because hes not rappin for the fame, hes been doin his thing for years with the Mobb. However if you are familiar with his old cd's and mixtapes you wont be disappointed as this album is an improvement from the last earning him 5stars. Look for instant classics like Hu,what , Louder feat. Prodigy, and Come thru. Queensbridge stand up for this one."

Noyd expands and delivers a hot album

"i give this 5 stars because noyd really expands his range here and goes into new territory, its a hot album and his beat selections are not the same as only the strong, theyre much more diverse and still fire. cop it with an open mind, this is gonna be an album to bump this summer, just like only the strong is a hot summer album this one is too."
