1. Put It On

I think thiz iz a great track, it was da first single, with Kid Capri on tha hook.
Rating: 5/5

2. MVP
Producer: Lord Finesse
It uses the same sample as Biggie`s One More Chance RMX, and it`s one of the album highlights.

3. No Endz, No Skins
Producer: Showbiz
L takes up the good-as-ever Gold Digger theme, and tells it like it iz. " If ya ain`t clockin` loot, you won`t be knockin` no boots". A hard and good beat by Showbiz, but L steals the show.
