Dr. Dre Notes:
When originally released back in 1992 The Chronic was a single LP with long sides. It was a gift that vinyl even existed for the original release - CDs ruled the day. By 2001 this landmark recording was split across 4 sides which allowed for a more authentic audio listening experience to what Dr. Dre had created.
Now we have The Chronic One-Step release which takes Dr. Dre’s production to a whole new listening level. The original analog master tapes were completely sequenced and in great shape - ready to cut! Of course we used Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering where every version of The Chronic had been mastered, to put the magic of the tapes onto the Definitive Sound Series One Step!

While hanging out in the studio, Swizz came up with an intro along the lines of "State your name, gangsta. Where you from?" The intro was used in the song as an alternative for a chorus after each verse. A chorus was added to the end of the song and sung by Ruff Ryders artist Cross.

US rap group from New York, comprised of Chris Black, Ja Rule and O-1.
Later they changed the middle part of the group's name from Money to Murda to avoid confusion with Cash Money Records.
They were scheduled to release their debut album entitled "Est. Since '93" on November 5, 2002 on Murder Inc./TVT Records, but was prevented as a lawsuit took place as Lyor Cohen then a figurehead at Def Jam Records, would not allow Ja Rule to record an album for another label.
