Search - Cormega :: Testament

The Prequel

"Before "The Realness", Mega gave us the "Testmament", which never saw the light of day (thanx to DEF Jam). As a MC Mega showcases intelligence, gutterness, and inspiration. This album showcases Mega's more agressiveness as he recorded after he got out of jail. All tracks on the album are non-skippable. My all time favorites on this joint are "Every Hood", "Love Is Love", both versions of "Dead Man Walking" and "Testament". Mega is one of the realest cats in the game and he deserves to be supported. Support the real hip-hop. Peace."

Classic Debut finally drops after almost 7 years

"When this was originally supposed to drop, 9/1/98, I was waiting for it and now after 6 and a half years I finally have it, with a few extra songs {I hope Def Jam is happy for fu*kin* themselves and a true great on the mic over). This is a classic and maybe his best album (close toss up with " The True Meaning"). It has 1 classic, and the other 12 songs are good or Great themselves. Like all his albums, it is short (13 songs and 45 minutes) and has few guests (on 3 songs) but like all his albums, ITS GREAT!!!. Production is good and is handled by a lot of people, Nysheim Myrick (3 songs), Cormega, RNS, Sha Money XL, Hot Day & Jae Supreme, Suga Bear, Prestige, and Havoc all do 1 song, and Dave Atkinson does 2 (basically the same song however). As one of the top rappers in QB (close with Mobb Deep & Tragedy Khadafi if you ask me) his lyrical skill shines and you will not be disappointed, a must have rap CD for everyone to own.

Another excellent album for Cormega

"this is the album everyones been waiting.def jam held it from mega since like 97 or 98.finally its here in 05 and its still a masterpeice.this album is a lot more street than the true meaning and the realness.u can hear it in his content and lyrics.most real mega fans have heard half this album in the past over the years like myself, but the other half of the joints that are "new" are some of the best on the album.



this album satisfied me very well.cormega always puts out quality hip hop and i was certain he would do it again, and he did with the testament.



very ill hip hop-5 stars



peace"
