 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment - As the Allmusic source in the article mentions, this was a collaboration with KRS-One - this may have helped it generate more coverage back in the day. Could help with source hunting. Sergecross73   msg me  20:14, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment. There are two questions here - firstly is it notable? Second, do we have enough content to justify an article? I think a good case could be made for notability. It topped both the Billboard heatseekers chart and the Top Reggae Albums chart  as well as placing at no. 114 on the Billboard 200, and also appears in a CMJ chart . This, however, can be summed up adequately in the article on the artist, so it then comes down to what other sources we can find. The Allmusic review is very brief, and other coverage that I found only mentions the album briefly . Again, there's nothing here that cannot be covered adequately in the Mad Lion article, so unless more can be found I think a selective merge and redirect to Mad Lion would be the best outcome. --Michig (talk) 07:32, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect as this seems best, the article is questionably notable by itself and is of course likely best known through Mad Lion's article. SwisterTwister   talk  23:12, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
