Known for his blazing tracks on records for Jay-Z and DMX, producer Swizz Beatz assembled a group of new tracks that features such hip-hop all-stars as the Lox, Big Pun, Juvenile, and the aforementioned Jay-Z and DMX. RYDE OR DIE VOL. 1 is jam-packed with energy and hot-to-death beats. There are several outstanding cuts. "Down Bottom" has Juvenile dropping his trademark Southern-style rhymes over Swizz beat, while "Platinum Plus" features Jermaine Dupri, Mase, and Cross. The title cut is a killer with the Lox, DMX, Drag-On, and Eve flippin' over the classic EPMD cut "Headbanger."
There are some can't-miss tracks from DMX ("Bug Out," "Some X Shit"), Jay-Z ("Jigga My Nigga"), and Jadakiss from the Lox ("Kiss of Death"). RYDE OR DIE VOL. 1 is what a compilation album should be. In addition, there's the smooth R&B cut "I'm a Ruff Ryder," featuring Parle and producer Dave Hall. Another highlight is "The Hood", a major thug posse cut featuring Drag-On, Beanie Siegal, Mysonne, Inf Red, NuChild, and Jadakiss.

Worth your money This album bumps hard and it is the best debut compilation. With the production held well by Swizz Beats, you can't go wrong with this record. I recommend y'all to buy it--it's worth every dime!! Submitted by a reviewer (Idaho) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Gutter n Grimey This CD is off the meat racks. What more could you ask for on a compilation. DMX, LOX, EVE, JUVE, JAY-Z, BIG PUN and more. You got club bangers like "Jigga my nigga" and "what ya want". And now that you got Jadakiss and Beanie Sigel battlin, Where else can you get a track with them collaberatin, Only on this cd with "the hood". Easily the best cd of 99, and a classic for years to come. Submitted by a reviewer (Fall River, MA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
