what are some cd's worth buying with some tight production from Phil Armstrong? Two of my favorite songs produced by him are Playa Playa and The Way We Roll from PSD-What It Is...

Well, the only two CDs that I can think of right now with tracks produced by Phil Armstrong are (don't know if you have these or not):

Mac Dre--RAPPER GONE BAD (1999). Not quite a classic, but it's worth getting if you're not too stuck in the 1992-96 era. Phil Armstrong produced three tracks..."Valley Joe" is a short but classic MD tune, since it united MD and PSD with Little Bruce and B-Legit (squashing the Crestside/Hillside feud between the two camps). The other two Armstrong tracks are cool as well: "Global" (hook by Dubee) and "I'm A Thug", with verses from PSD and Dubee, and an intro by Miami (this track may work better on headphones--you might have a little trouble making out all the lyrics, not to mention Miami's nutty comments).

PSD--THE DRIVAH: ALL I WANT (2002). As he did on the earlier PSD tracks you mentioned, Mr. Armstrong blessed our favorite Vallejo rapper/Blues lover with a number of tight tracks. These include "Nasty Boy" (LOL), the pimpish "All I Want", "Streets or Rap Game" (with the always fun Keek Da Sneek), "Some Thangs" (with Dubee), "Callin' Me in The Green Room" (with Vital) and the deep "When Them People Want You," in which PSD speaks on his legal troubles.

If you don't have these, check them out. I can't think of any other CDs at this moment, but I'll leave more titles if I think of them...PEACE!

Phil did some of the production on Little Bruce's "Give It To Me Baby" (Groovin and a few more, I believe) and he did a lot of the unreleased Funk Mobb shit I told you about.

Just wondering cause on the last Latino Velvet, one of the songs that Philly Blunt produced had a writing credit for P. Armstrong.

He's produced alot of songs for me. He did "Fo' Sho'" off of Latino Velvet "Velvet City" and a bunch of songs on N2DEEP "Slightly Pimpish / Mostly Doggish". He did the remix of "What's Goin On?" off of Jay Tee & Beesh "Velvetism" and a few other songs on other albums I don't remember. I been messing with him for years.

@Jar: good thang bro, you'll see it's a pretty good LP, try also to put a hand on the young C major "ice cold", it's damn tight too + Jay Tee and Johnny Z bring some heat on this one (philly blunt's on there too). holla back homie.
