 (3 Customer Reviews)
This is Bay Area rapper Mac Mall's classic first and many say best CD featuring the songs "Sic Wit Tis," "Ghetto Theme" and "Pimp Shit." Originally released in 1993, this album features the rappers Mac Dre and Ray Luv. Also includes the song "Ghetto Them
Mac Mall's first album, released locally in California on his own indie label, Young Black Brotha, is a refreshing entry in the West Coast gangsta rap genre for 1993. With Khayree's deep, bassy, funky beats accenentuating Mac's energetic and smooth style of rapping, what's produced is a thick album with plenty of differing styles and themes. Khayree has also produced beats for Tupac, Mac Dre, Ray Luv, Young Lay, and Master P, among others. The most notable songs on the album are "Sic Wit Tis," "Don't Wanna See Me," and the slow-grooving "Ghetto Theme." A music video for "Ghetto Theme" was released shortly after the album, and is the debut of Tupac Shakur as a video director. ~ Brad Mills
Personnel: Khyree (vocals, various instruments); Eboni Foster, Mac Dre, Ray Luv (vocals); DJ Tech 9 (scratches).
The Source (2/94, p.74) - "...it appears that Mac Mall's debut album, ILLEGAL BUSINESS?, was made expressly for automotive listening....the album scores a `10' on the humps scale....No sampling, just simplistic song structures with lots of bass...."

Illegal Business? album
 $13.15 
Enter the Jacka. The death of 2Pac in the mid 90's ripped the heart out of West Coast Hip Hop. At the same time a young street poet named the Jacka was honing his skills in the Bay Area Rap game. Always open minded, he was influenced by b-boys and thugs, pimps and Imams. The Jacka has since developed into an established, well-rounded, well-versed emcee in the right place to bring the West Coast some serious attention. The Jacka's music is a reflection of his life. He witnessed the birth of the dope game and the drug war that followed, as the battle was waged in his community, on his block, and in his house. Memories of departed loved ones haunt his mind and soul. His release is to share his experiences through his music. Reality hurts. Rap is the Jacka's medicine. That and some purple. Jacka's success proves his mettle as an emcee. He has been featured on over 50 albums over the past six years. His contributions to the Mob Figaz self-entitled album resulted in over 100,000 units sold. His tour with Yukmouth (of the Luniz), C-Bo, the Mob Figaz, and Tech 9ne exposed him to nationwide notoriety. His first solo release (featuring Too $hort, Cormega, Christion, and Yukmouth) in 2002 sold over 30,000 units. Jacka sold these units himself, in the Bay Area and through shipping to one-stops across the country. Though great support came from the Bay Area, sixty percent ...
