One of many of Bizzy Bone's solo projects. He uses a different rap delivery which makes for an interesting listen.

"i would be lying my azz off if i said this album has good production.the truth of the matter is it doesn't.but thats not why i bought it i bought it because of his lyricisim which keeps improoving.if you judge albums soley by the production then skip this album,but your a fool if your gonna dissmiss it because of lousy production.thats what more or less happened with krayzie bones last solo cd thug on da line.
stand out tracks are murdah,better run better hide,i understand and i;m sure i'm forgetting more.
bottom line buy it for the lyrics."
Another Consistent Effort From Bizzy

"So, the "No Intro" intro sucks. Yeah, really, just plain sucks. I was actually kinda worried when the first track of the album was just Bizzy rambling mostly unintelligibly over a ridiculous beat I'm glad he didn't try to rap over. BUT the second song was indeed a saving grace, because I'm sure I wouldn't have listened to the rest of the album if it weren't as good as it is. Bizzy has a habit of putting his better songs first ("Thug'z Cry", "We Ride", etc.) and this cd is no different. One thing I noticed was the differences in his cadences all over this album. Bone Thugs have always been known for their flow and harmony, but Bizzy really makes a point to prove on this album that he is quite lyrical. Case in point, "I Understand", possibly the best song of his career. It showcases a very mature and accountable Bizzy moving on from his past (much like "Demons Surround Me" from Heaven'z Movie). Another dope song on this cd is "All In Together Now" a story of female betrayal with a dope beat and a well put story. Okay, again, with most Bizzy cd's, the weak point is the production. Not just the beats, but some of the choruses. Case in point, the off-key singing on "Die 4 U" works well enough, but I can't get past "Mirror, Mirror on the wall..." from track 12. Overall, this is a dope album, but Bizzy's done better. It's a great addition to your collection if you're a huge Bone Thug fan but if you're just casual fan, this might not be the best choice.
Oh, I really really hate it when rap artists put clean versions of songs on dirty cds. It's just unnecessary, so this album loses points for the otherwise dope "Better Run, Better Hide"."
BEST BIZZY ALBUM

"This albums follows the murder of bizzy bones 'brother' capo alias konfucious. I feel like this album addresses all the issues (such as being a kicked out member of BONE) that comprise the individual bizzy bone. Honest, candid, revealing and passionate, this album is no way commercial but truly heart felt and delivered. With the exception of about 3 or 4 songs...i have enjoyed this album more than any other bizzy solo album."
Bizzy is the best in the game

"Music and everything else in life is presentation and content. Bizzy is the best rapper in the game because of the content he serves. Just like 2pac used to, Bizzy comes sincere. It's a shame that true emotions can fall on unrecognizing ears. Production could be improved, but when you're judging vehicles, sometimes the engine matters more than the body style.
Bizzy is one of the few rappers that actually grows as a person as he gets older. Because of this I can identify with him, and this makes him interesting as a person. Stay up Bryon.
As for delivery, Bizzy puts every rapper to ****ing shame, I have never heard anybody as on point as he is when he wants to be. Tech N9ne and Twista are good, but Bizzy is better. Period."
Good and Bad

"Lyrically, Bizzy has stepped his game up tremendously. This is a more personal album. Lyrics are great, flow is great, he did his part. What really hurt this album, is the production. There were a few good ones on here, but for the most part, the quality of the production was a couple steps down from "The Gift". However, Bizzy did enough to save the album from being a 2 or 3. DEFINITELY A "MUST GET" for Bone fans."
