group he was using the name Bizzy but gave it to
his new best friend Bryon when he realized how

I hear fall in East Cleveland is just delightful. I know you're in a graveyard but i can barely tell dude. That just looks like a test picture on the way to somewhere else.
This is the cover of the one I actually owned, have no clue where it is but I loved it even tho it wasnt amazing. was just so hype about it. Don't remember much about it except that Dr. Wax had like 10 of em in the 1.99 bin. That doubled the hype.
