Wyclef Jean-Carnival Vol. II: Memoirs Of An Immigrant

I missed about 20 albums that I’m sure Eric @ When They Reminisce and Travis @ Wake Your Daughter Up will remind me of (The Smile Rays, for instance). This is all off the top of my head. To my Boston peoples, I may have forgot some of your mixtapes because there were so many so if I missed any of y’all joints don’t take it as a diss, it’s just that I was trying to put up Hip Hop releases with nationwidewide distribution or online distribution and I missed yours by mistake.

All greivances should be made below. Happy Birthday to Christina @ Showbunny Entertainment & my brother Buctayla.

One.
