## Resource

It's a limited episode series celebrating the year 1996! It's the 30th anniversary of many classic albums from that year and we chose twelve to "re-review!" Jay-Z's debut album, Reasonable Doubt is better than you remember. Peak lyrics, beats custom made for a hustler, and a determination to be mentioned amongst the greats. This was Jay-Z at his hungriest. Let's talk about it! Special thanks to my guest: Jevon M.
