Snoop Dogg – Doggystyle
“One of the first albums to get me into hip-hop. I stole it from my older brothers room and blasted it on repeat when I was a youngster!”

Dogg Pound – Dogg Food
“Daz & Kurupt killed it on this album. The definition of real West Coast rap/hip-hop. Love every song on the album, which is super rare these days.”

Biggie Smalls – Ready to Die
“This in my opinion is Biggies best work, hardcore bubblegum rap. Loaded with timeless classics and the true East Coast flavor.”

Wu-Tang – 36 Chambers
“Love the darker, hip-hop, sword-style, grungy vibe. I’d say I owe most of the credit to this one for getting me into producing music. For my brain, all these instrumentals felt so innovative.”

Method Man – Tical
“One of my favorites! Meth’s flow on this one is untouchable. Sounds so well put together on every track. Most people don’t even know what he’s talking about due to the copious amounts of slang in every verse. But it flows so well, and once you analyze the verses a bit deeper, you can recognize the true genius of each track!”
