The Greatest Rapper Alive

2010 · Thump Records

Released in November 2010 on Thump Records, this album carries a complicated backstory. The recordings were produced entirely by DJ U-Neek, who released the material commercially without Bizzy Bone's consent or involvement in the process. Bizzy had originally planned to distribute the recordings as four separate mixtapes with proper promotion, and only learned the album was in stores when a fan showed him the tracklist. As a result it appears in few official discographies and Bizzy never endorsed it. The music itself is characteristically eclectic, moving from rapid-fire street rap to slow jams, but the unauthorized release left a lasting mark on the relationship between the two longtime collaborators.

"Travel through the troubled leapers, Stumble the vestibule, The vegetable can't move or tremble, Easily assembled, My assembly where these killas roam, Revelations on the xp cause nothings unknown."

— Young Man
