## What 2 lists say

### No. 7 in [Memphis Rap](https://waxonia.com/genre/memphis-rap/)

Before the group consolidated, when the tapes were still local geography set to a beat. Paul's production is already unmistakable.

### Picked by [1994](https://waxonia.com/theme/nineteen-ninety-four/)

A tape sold out of a car boot that turns out to contain most of what trap would sound like fifteen years later — the tempo, the hi-hats, the atmosphere. The clearest case on this list of a record nobody heard being load-bearing anyway.
