    You sure it wasn't Carlos Santana? Cant imagine Juelz Santana having anything underrated, cos most of his stuff is overrated.

    The name rings a bell, is that the same Santana from the Diplomats?

    Ah, I thought so. The only track I actually listened to of their's was the Dipset Anthem, and it was atrocious!

    Cam'ron himself had one or two decent tracks though.

    gy
    As you can tell from the promo photos of Mike, inspired by Scarface, cocaine, aka "prang", aka "tour support" occupies a lot of these songs. The highs and lows of this horrific drug are documented in all their 'glories', as honestly as anybody's ever done it. There's the opener 'Pranging Out', which has a beat as brash and cocaine-y as anything Harlem's Diplomats were doing on the first Juelz Santana album (most overlooked album of the 21st century so far).1

    Even Juelz himself admitted that his 1st album was poor and not exactly how he wanted it to be. For his 2nd album he built his own studio so that he could work on it non-stop.

    I have it and I quite like it.

    Nice beats and good easy listening. Dont expect anything ground breaking, but if you like the Dipset production that was on Come Home With Me by Cam'Ron, then you should at least have one thing you'll like about it.
