Master Z's compelling and touchy 7th album is on it's way of becoming his most succesful since 1994's "Z & Believe". While the latter was a vast success and mostly talked about living, his career, success and an ego to have to protect, this one is more about the 10 years of Master Z, growing wiser, the money isn't important anymore and also about the arrest. Early 1998 Master Z was arrested for beating up a cop that was beating a nephew of Master Z. Z was no sentenced but the album brutally talks about injustice, corruption, the life of a rap star etc... . Master Z considers this is best album, that and "Hip Hop Raider". Then would come "Z & Believe". 7 Singles have been released being "Nobody Rules", "History", "Rain Dance", "Back in the Days", "Luvin' You", "In Memory Of" and "Twice in a Lifetime". The album was released just weeks after friend-rapper Jarnell died in a shooting incident in a disco-club. Jarnell has worked on almost all of Master Z's albums and so has Master Z on Jarnell's own records (5 records so far and his last coming in 2000).
