Logging production credits while working for Puff Daddy's Hit Men, producer Younglord has branched out with his solo debut album. THE RED BOOK MASTERS features some of Younglord's up-and-coming MC's, all the while showcasing the talents of this young beat-maker. Among the highlights on the 13-song release are "Gotham City" (Nuygen & Black), "Start Something" (Mark Twain) and "Red Book" (Bop). Younglord manages to keep the street feel but has a mature, polished production sound to his credit. Also noteworthy is the smooth, head-nodding "Table For Two" from the Crime Fam. Street beats and hot MC's--how can you go wrong? Be sure to check out the instrumental breaks on the disc as well, which showcase Younglord's gift for beat-making.
