2. Description

This is the original 2001 US first edition promotional CD for Project Pat’s breakthrough second studio album. Produced entirely by DJ Paul and Juicy J of Three 6 Mafia, this album is a cornerstone of Memphis rap and "Dirty South" history. It features the iconic hits "Chickenhead" and "Don't Save Her." As a promotional release, this was distributed to radio stations and industry insiders prior to the official retail launch, making it significantly rarer than standard commercial copies.

4. Notes for Collectors

First Edition: This is the authentic 2001 first pressing, not a later reissue.
Promo Rarity: Promotional copies are highly sought after by Hip-Hop archivists because they represent the earliest state of the release.
Investment Potential: Graded rap CDs are a rapidly growing market. A 9.0 score for a "Certified Southern Classic" of this caliber makes it a cornerstone piece for any serious Memphis Rap or Three 6 Mafia collection.
Cultural Impact: The album was certified Gold shortly after its release and remains one of the most sampled and influential records in modern trap music.
