As an artist there isn't a greater feeling in the world than walking into a Best Buy and picking up an album with your name on it.  This album was the 1st time I could do that as an artist vs. as an A&R.  

The origins of this album date back to November 3, 2007, my 26th Birthday. Killah Priest  and I made our way to Indianapolis from California for my annual M-Eighty bday bash and the next day we recorded a few tracks that would lay the foundation for the Almighty album. After recruiting Bronze Nazareth, C-Rayz Walz, Son One, and 5-star we had the group infrastructure and I spent the next 8 months building the album (features, producers, recording sessions) as I traveled all over the USA including California. New York, Chicago, Detroit, Texas, Indianapolis, Virginia, and Atlanta during the making of this album. 

We signed with Babygrande records and the album was released in the summer of '08 with "Handle the Heights" taking the #1 position on the UGHH Top 40 charts & "Obey" feat. Planet Asia topping out at #17 on the CMJ's. 

All and all, all personal bias to the side, this album was one of the best HIP-HOP albums of 2008!
