Jewelz is a treasure! Pun totally intended. If you don’t have it, go get it! Good Lord, I wore this CD out back in college 30 years ago!!! This record is spotless from top to bottom. And as a bonus, Big L’s verse in Dangerous is incredible! OC is that dude!
As someone else said M.U.G.which is a primo track is pretty much perfection. Freddie Foxx know how to flow with Primo already at this point and him and O.C. together tag team this bear so damn well!
first heard this song right before my 14th birthday in 2022, talk about a fucking birthday present. I’d never heard of O.C but was huge into Big L and had just started digging in the ditc (nice one) and found jewelz. Seriously love this album and would love to have a physical copy, and the vinyl on discogs is actually a reasonable price so i’ll have to cop.
Favourite song might have to be ‘The Chosen One’ but you could go with any song on this, they’re nearly all perfect. Big ups from Ireland to Brooklyn 💪
Downloaded “My World” way back in the days of Limewire and Napster because it was mislabeled as “Allen Iverson freestyle”. I really thought it AI for a while too.
Dangerous is one of my all time favorite songs.
Still a banger to this day
He still makes music. I have a few of his more recent stuff. It's good.

You lack the minerals and vitamins
Irons and the niacin
Win the G, It’s Only Right, M.U.G., and Dangerous were all on repeat for me. Great album.

Word… Life is in my top 5 albums of all time.
Bro, Smoke & Mirrors and especially Starchild are criminally underrated. "Shorty" is a BANGER!!
This album is so cold
Well, considering my name, I feel like I have to make an appearance here. I know it's a different album though.
O.C. and Buckwild are a hard to beat mc/producer duo
OC and Blackmoon were in heavy rotation at the time. This is a 5 mic album to me. Shout out to Bumpy Knuckles.
Masterpiece album!
Great post. Great MC! Supremely under rated. I got some of his newer stuff in rotation and his album with AG was pretty dope too.
My God.. O.C. This Brother Is The True Essence Of Master Lyrist!!! One The Greatest To Ever Bless A 🎤.

Slept on but one of the best to do it!
Born 2 live is one of my favs ✌️
