Now this is what a Hip Hop album is supposed to be. Buy this album. Have a nice day……

Actually that's all you need to know but I'll delve into this effort in greater detail to take up some more space. Philly homeboys Mr. Eon & Mighty Mi come correct with an album that's about as Hip as the Hop can get. How refreshing it was to get through an entire album with no filler tracks. If you're looking for cookie cutter "product" this isn't for you. The High & Mighty's reverence for what they do is obvious.
Guest lyricists are sprinkled throughout but not in the ho-hum style that we've come to expect in recent times. With emcees like Mos Def, Mad Skillz, Defari, Eminem, Kool Keith and our own Bobbito Garcia, the lineup is stronger than a vintage Barkley dunk.

B-Boy Document '99 is a clever reworking of the late eighties classic B-Boy Documents. Don't forget that original was by our Camden, NJ homies the Krown Rulers. They're the same brothers that blessed us with Kick The Ball. Props to TH&M for paying respects to these Philadelphia area pioneers. Rather than breaking down individual cuts, its safe for me to tell you that this is a party of 19 bangin' cuts (skits included).

The High & Mighty show madd love to Philly from the back cover of the album to the shout outs and influences that they list. The back of the album brings back madd memories for me cause my room looked just like the one in the picture. A shrine to our Phillies, Sixers & Eagles and what is now old school Hip Hop. I still have he 80' Phillies and 83' Sixers pennants on the wall! Thank you to The High & Mighty from PhillyHipHop.com for recognizing our Street Beat program as a major influence in your careers. TH&M listed Jeff Mills & Lady B as influences (for y'all new jacks, Jeff Mills was our DJ on Street Beat during our 80's run on Power 99). While your home base is in New York now, it will always be Philly that gives you the Home Field Advantage.
