After bringing you the biggest release ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ of 1999 a few days ago, Mariah Carey's Rainbow, Team RNS ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ strikes again and brings you the most anticipated hip-hop ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ album of the decade. It's been a long wait (since 1992, in ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ fact), but RNS is here to ease your pain by bringing you ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ this title nearly 3 weeks before its much delayed street ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ date. Needless to say, the album has been closely guarded, ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ which is why we were unable to bring it to you before now, ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ but as everyone expected, RNS pulled through in the end. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ I originally hadn't planned to say anything about the album ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ itself, but I will just take a moment to say that this is ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ arguably one of the best hip-hop albums I've ever heard. If║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ you agree with me, and I'm quite sure that you will, I urge ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ you to support this artist by purchasing his album once it ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ is available in stores. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ To our friends in other groups who have felt compelled to ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ disband, unable to deal with the iron fist that is RNS, our ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ warmest wishes to you in whatever ventures you may pursue. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ To those hoping to create an MP3 supergroup, may I remind ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ you, one already exists... we call it RNS. While we herald ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ the existence of a new group of friends interested in ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ cooperation rather than competition, we also hope they ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ haven't lost touch with reality. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Much respect to G. Litt for helping Team RNS get the hookup ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ like Master P... all the haters need to recognize and stop ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ talking so much bullshit. Get your foot out of your mouth ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ before I replace it with my own. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Team RNS would like to offer a very warm welcome to some of ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ our newest members, including Darwin, Oipunk, Quipster, ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ V-MaN, RichyRich, DJPhenomenon, and Krenz.

With an average of nearly 6000 releases per ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ year, RNS is untouchable both in terms of quantity and ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ quality of releases.
