about

Signed to Tommy Boy Records on the strength of his powerful verse on Mobb Deep’s “Give Up The Goods,” Rapper Noyd’s plans for his debut album were waylaid by an unexpected trip up north.

With only a handful of completed songs in the can, it was left to Havoc to piece together this album, enlisting the talents of the extended Infamous Mobb family to contribute the remaining thun language.

Thanks primarily to the magic of Hav on the boards and the late, great Prodigy on vocal duties, Episodes of a Hustla plays as the perfect companion piece to Hell on Earth – evoking the finest in anti-social, cold weather Bridge music for your ears to fear.

This special edition version released in time for the album's 27th anniversary, includes the Stretch Armstrong Remix of “Usual Suspect” which was only previously made available as part of the 12” single. In addition, a Part III of “Recognize & Realize,” recently produced by Big Ghost LTD, has been added to the tracklist as a bonus track.

Perfect 3

The third installment of the Perfect series is more of CRIME & Buck Dudley doing what they do best - make sick ass hip-hop music that goes hard as fuck a.k.a that Manteca Music. CRIME’s clever & hilarious punchlines prove that he is one of the nicest and most entertaining MC’s and lyricists in the game today, and that’s exactly what he brings more of on this project. The EP is solid throughout, but the bonus joints are especially dope. Worth copping just for those HTOWNMVRDER’DOVT84’Z
