Data Insight
The first album that credits anybody: all ten tracks carry him and one carries nobody else. It took a collaboration with two American hip hop producers to get his name into the writing column, four albums into his career.
Juxtapose came out on Island in July 1999, made with DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill and Dame Grease, and sold 55,000 in the United States. At 35 minutes it is the shortest album in the catalogue.
