In keeping with the release of Intelligent Hoodlum's samples, I felt like dropping another underestimated and over-looked album. This one comes from a group known simply as 'InI'. Spearheaded by beat master extraordinaire Pete Rock, InI hit the 'udio in the mid-90's to record this gem called Center of Attention. The record never saw the light of the day (officially at least; what would we do without bootleggers?), however, and was only released by Rapster Records in 2003. Since its "release(s)", the album has garnered a heavy following amongst underground and alternative hip hop circles. Notable lyrical content coupled with Pete Rock's great balance of smooth-as-silk and hard-as-nails production makes for a great album; and a great sample set! Enjoy!
