A shite artist with a great label. He's WAY too hyped with nothing to back it
up. He make s the worst tracks on his own label.

Agreed. It's really annoying.It's not even worth the 25 minute wait for bad
breaks.

Horrible disc as well. Temper is okay.But not good by any standard of agressive
jungle.This has got to be the worst album I've ever picked up. Sad because
Platinum Breakz2 was excellent and shows that his label at least was going a
bit heavier..and he has none of his own tracks on it..king of jungle my ass.
