This sophomore effort showcased their growth as artists and solidified their place in the hip-hop community. Despite not becoming mainstream hits, songs like "Thug N*ggas," featuring Mack 10, demonstrated their ability to collaborate with established West Coast figures and produce tracks that resonated with fans of the genre.
