Shyne - Godfather Buried Alive (iTunes Version)

Shyne's Godfather Buried Alive was released in late 2003 and it seems the disc has become a forgotten.

Well the disc is mad hot. The production is crazy. The album includes production by Kanye West, Irv Gotti, Swizz Beats, Just Blaze, Moses Leviy among others. The song "More or Less" is hot an "Quasi o.g." has a reggae hip hop thing going on. "Behind The Walls" (east coast gangsta mix) features Korupt and Nate Dogg along with Shyne. You have to wonder if the lyrics are new because Shyne refers to himself as Po on most cuts. Po is a nickname he adopted for himself. The track "Shyne" is just a banger, something for the boys in the streets to pump when they are riding out this summer. The ladies will like this cut also.
On the track "Martyr" Shyne questions whether life is better than death. Ashanti is featured on the track "Jimmy Choo." Foxy Brown also appears on a few cuts. "Godfather" is another cut that is for the streets and the radio.
The album art work is nice. Inside of the disc are not one but two pictures of Shyne and the late Lisa Left Eye Lopes along with older pics of Shyne.
13 cuts deep Godfather Buried Alive is the Shyne album that his fans have been waiting for and fans new and old won't be let down. It was worth the wait.
