This mixtape contains a bunch of unreleased Elzhi material that was recorded between 1997 and 2004, hence the title. The large majority of these songs were simply Detroit underground joints, produced by fellow Motown artists like Young R.J., Waajeed, Kareem Riggins, and the late, great Dilla. His local MC status (which really hasn't changed since, with the lone exception of his verse on The Minstrel Show) combined with his almost unrivaled rapping ability has to make him, in my estimation, the most underrated rapper ever.
