Reviews Customer Reviews for Million Sick Rating: I cannot believe he is dead, that's news to me. Very tragic, he was clearly one of the most gifted up and coming emcees. Not only was he sick with the flow, but his music actually had a purpose, too bad he couldn't evolve into a superstar....R.I.P....
Customer Reviews for Million Cd Half-A-Mill - Million Rating: Half-A-Mill's (AKA Jasun Ward) debut album was "Million" (2000). Prior to his debut album Half had appearances on the Firm's "The Album" and the "Belly Soundtrack". His second and last album "Da Hustle Don't Stop" was released in 2002. Brooklyn's Half-A-Mill was found murdered in his apartment in 2003, leaving behind a wife and two sons. I remember reading about it briefly at the time, and wondering who Half-A-Mill was, in a Rap game full of MC's I had never had the chance to listen to his work. Half-A-Mill hooks up for an excellent collaboration with Ali Vegas on the grimy "Tough Guyz", both MC's shine backed by some a tight guitar beat. Half-A-Mill and Nature team up backed by a laidback beat for another standout in "What U Ridin". Half-A-Mill reps himself and his goals on the fast-paced "New Millenium" a cut about getting paid. The talented Az drops in for "Quiet Money" another good collaboration. AZ paid tribute to Half-A-Mill on his most recent album, including him on a tight cut called "Street Life". Backed by a vibrant bouncy beat Half-A-Mill talks to the ladies on "Don't Go Away". Half-A-Mill samples the Notorious on the outstanding "Where BK At", rhyming with a fast flow over some upbeat production and repping his hood with pride. Half comes across hungry on "Fires In Hell". The albums single was "Thug Ones", Half-A-Mill, Noreaga, Musolini and the legendary Kool G Rap deliver a impressive banger. Half-A-Mill then delivers two laidback love cuts for the ladies with "Gimme Ya Luv" and "Ghetto Girl". Half-A-Mill shines again on the exceptional "Thug Luv", Half-A-Mill goes deep on this one in a track dedicated to the incarcerated, dead and those who "Got Murdered For Stacks". Half-A-Mills lyrics and chorus are really on point, and sadly apply to his own life and death. Spice 1 drops in for another banger in "Bounce" while Half-A-Mill rhymes over an original Public Enemy beat on "Thuggest Enemy #1". It's tragic that Half-A-Mill died young leaving a family behind, and never getting the chance to make it big in the Rap game. Half-A-Mill's "Million" is an album worth having in the collection. R.I.P.
