Iced Down Medallionsby Various Artists

"'Ghetto Millionaire' would be a fine debut, by musical standards. A street-savvy lyricist, Ramel Govantes (a/k/a Royal Flush) captured the ambitions, the ills, and the flares of the neighborhood, as well as the dusty sound du jour. That album would boast extensive production by Buckwild, DJ Hi-Tek, Da Beatminerz, Sha Money XL, and L.E.S. However, it was EZ-Elpee (Capone-N-Noreaga, Junior M.A.F.I.A.) that took on the lion’s share of the beats.": bit.ly
