Singles from The Emcee's Properganda

"Top 5 (Dead or Alive)"

Jin Presents: The Emcee's Properganda is Jin's second album. It was released on October 25, 2005. After a long struggle with Ruff Ryders and Virgin Records, Jin left them and decided to go independent, under the Crafty Plugz and Draft Records name. Due to a lower budget, this album features only two producers (The Golden Child and Demo Beats) and has a more classic, laid-back, jazzy underground-type feel. Teaming up mainly with 16-year-old producer Golden Child, Jin insightfully rhymes about a wide variety of subjects over a collection of underground beats. This album was better received than his first album and it features only his Crafty Plugz rosters: YungMAC and LS. The legendary DJ Kool Herc, who is credited as the founder of hip-hop, appears in the music video of the first and only single on this album, which was ;Top 5 (Dead or Alive)". ^[1]
