This is Hip Hop at its purest form, from the old 90's hip hop to the new hip hop culture today. All original music & lyrics with no samples. This album is called The Manual: The collector's edition because it gives a great blueprint or platform on how you create a great original Hip Hop album from scratch without a million dollar studio. Just wanted too show the world that, as being a independent artist or producer, you can make great music and achieve greatness, by being independent, because these guys definitely did it with this album themselves. Great work! Buy this album, by far this album is more worth ten dollars. In fact this album is in the same league with the major artists far as production, quality and lyrical content. Great buy for Hip hop heads
