Genre: Hip-Hop | Style: Urban/R&B | Mood: Confrontational

Description: The former Leader Of The New School was one of the few 90s underground rappers to wiggle his way above ground. This 17 track compilation features such hits as "Woo-haa! Got You All In Check," "Gimme Some More," "Do My Thing," "Rhymes Galore," and "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See." Less than a year after his Total Devastation greatest-hits compilation was released on Rhino, Warner decided to issue a second greatest-hits compilation with a few notable differences. Gone is the inclusion of his work in Leaders of the New School, and in its place is a smattering of remixes.
