Just the fact that "The Ownerz" was only produced by DJ Premier and Guru, I find quite impressive, which in today's Hip Hop / Rap albums Sometimes up to 10 producers have their fingers in the pie. Therefore, the beats in the typical old school style and can thus convince as always. Especially "Skillz", "Deadly Habitz" and "" Who Got Gunz "(feat. Fat Joe & MOP)" all three are absolutely outrageous tracks and in my opinion the best of the album.
More good tracks were "Rite Where U Stand (feat. Jadakiss)" and "Capture (Militia Pt. 3) (feat. Big Shug & Freddie Foxxx)", although especially Jadakiss on the track with Guru is not convincing. In addition to the aforementioned artists even Snoop Dogg and Big Boy and Krumbsnatcha can be heard on the LP.
Conclusion: Album in the default style of Gang Starr with horny Rhymes of Guru and fats oldschool Street Beats by DJ Premier. "The Ownerz" is definitely recommended!
