DJ Muggs

DJ Muggs is one of the more underrated producers out there. I dusted this album off earlier today and found that he really did top notch work on the boards. He produces, arranges, and composes every track on this album. Muggs enthusiasts probably have this one already, but anyone not familiar with his board work should jump on this one. It even boasts a nice multidimensional lineup from Goodie Mob to MC Eiht to Wyclef. This one is sure to please.

Juice: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

The Juice soundtrack is best remember for classic cuts from Naughty By Nature (Uptown anthem), Eric B. & Rakim (Juice - Know The Ledge) and Big Daddy Kane (Nuff Respect), but the lesser known tracks are pretty good too. I forgot all about those tracks until I gave it a spin today, so I figured it was worthy of a blog post (that... and the fact that I haven't posted in so long lol). Anyway, the production is good and there are only one or two throwaway tracks. Enjoy everyone.
