Daily Dopeness: Trife Life

This is hands down one of my favorite albums of all time, and I'm not even a huge fan of drug talk and street rap. But this album is different. The vividly painted imagery of Queens, dark street narratives laced over the beautifully ugly and grimy Havoc produced beats make this one of the most dynamic albums I've ever heard. It was damn near the only CD I listened to the summer of 1995. You can put it on and go from song 1-16 like nothing. I rarely skip a track on this one which is rare in itself. Here's one of my favorites from this album, featuring P and Havoc at the height of their storytelling. Nothing like some Mobb Deep on Monday to start your week off right.
