Completed shortly before his death, YEEEAH BABY, the sophomore album from Christopher "Big Pun" Rios, is packed with the same energy and street credibility that laced his platinum debut, Capital Punishment. The 500-pound MC leads the charge on powerful tracks like "Wrong Ones," "New York Giants," and "We Don't Care."
Given the fact that he had only weeks to live, a track like "It's So Hard," featuring a guest vocal appearance from Donell Jones, has a certain unintended irony to it. Here, Pun talks about how hard it is striving to stay alive, do the right thing, and provide for his family, with everything and everyone pulling at him. Some of YEEEAH BABY's other standout cuts include "Off Wit His Head," featuring Prospect, "My Turn," produced by L.E.S., and the hit posse cut "You Was Wrong."
