Chicago, Illinois emcee Novatore celebrating Halloween early with his 14th studio LP. Emerging as a member of the Infamous Crew, he’s also built up an impressive solo career over nearly a decade by dropping 4 EPs & an acclaimed collaborative effort with A.M. Early Morning produced by Stu Bangas called Kingdom of Criminality & it’s recent sequel produced by Johnny Slash. Other highlights include Louie, Louie II, Embrace the Darkness, Portrait of a Madman, Embrace the Darkness II: Explorers of Experience, Master of Morbid Creations, Living in the End Times, Alchemy & Black Magic, his Goon MuSick debut The 87 Arsonist & the Brenx-produced Agoraphobia. Only halfway through the month, he’s looking to outsource both of his previous discography entries under Goon MuSick with Embrace the Darkness III.
After the “Possession” intro, the first song “Apostrophes” opens with a boom bap instrumental from none other than C-Lance talking about his demons wanting full control the way he constantly acts whereas “Last Chapter” featuring Lord Goat finds the pair making sure their competition doesn’t have a career. “In the Scope” eerily talks about staying underground forever & once “Murder for Hire” featuring Apathy spends a few minutes quenching for blood, we’re treated to a compositional “War Plans on Signal” intermission.
“Mannequins” brings some chilling pianos into the fold starting the 2nd half bodybagging those who want to battle him while “Moving Keys” featuring Chubs & K-Prez turns peons into vegetables. The sampling on “Deafening Silence” feels reminiscent of Jedi Mind Tricks giving shoutouts to those showing love & after “No Masters” featuring 2 Feathers talks about not being afraid to fight, “Dark Empire” featuring DreamTek ends with them giving their 2 cents regarding the current political climate.
During the COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of this decade, the original Embrace the Darkness like both Louies marked a huge improvement from Novatore’s earlier material & the sequel 13 months afterwards further propelled himself artistically. Fast forward to present day only a couple weeks away from Halloween, he & C-Lance return to the darker vibes of both it’s predecessors surpassing The 87 Arsonist & Agoraphobia to become his finest work since signing to Goon MuSick.
Merkules is a 32 year old rapper from Surrey, British Columbia, Canada who began rhyming at age 15 under the name Merk Mikz. He later became Snak the Ripper’s hype man to get his career kickstarted over a decade ago, dropping a total of 7 albums & 3 EPs of his own since 2011 or so. Following the acquisition of Death Row Records by one of the label’s original artists & WWE Hall of Famer Snoop Dogg at the start of 2022, the very 1st artist to sign under the revived umbrella was Merkules & he’s brought C-Lance to produce a vast majority of his Death Row debut albeit his 8th studio LP.
The title track marks his introduction as a member of the untouchable Death Row with a drumless piano instrumental talking about feeling remorse after surviving a near-death experience or traumatic event when others perished whereas “Loser” takes the boom bap route instrumentally to discuss being a failure of a person. “Grew Up” was the only track that didn’t have C-Lance behind the boards & one of the only 5 skippers here, but then the acoustic-trap hybrid “Blast Off” runs from the past as if it’s erased.
“Mama Tried” keeps the downtuned guitars in the fold favoring more of a boom bap flare to the beat talking how his mother tried her best raising him leading into the g-funk influenced “Wassup” featuring NHale linking up with the son of an original from Tha Row & the late King of Hooks himself Nate Dogg refusing to fuck around since they’ve experienced the ups & downs. “Out Here” featuring Classified was a decently dusty chipmunk soul collab hustlin’ on the daily, but then “Glory to God” gets derailed by Dax’ corny ass dropping the worst guest verse on the whole thing.
Elements of rock & trap get blended once more on “Inside Out” admitting to that being exactly how he mentally feels at the moment & “On Guard” featuring Shaquille O’Neal heads for a cloudier direction so they can talk about bringing it to the doorsteps of anyone who wants beef with either of them. “Bawse” featuring Prof sees both MCs returning to the boom bap saying they the type to smack muhfuckas through the element of surprise while “Forgive Me” asks God to forgive him for all the sins he’s committed in his life up until this very moment in his career.
“Smoke To” featuring Afroman cloudily comes together for a dedication to all the stoners out there since 4/20’s coming up on Easter weekend & Day 2 of WrestleMania XLI just before “Pair of Chucks” featuring Daz Dillinger shows off the brand new kicks they copped over a predominately west coast-flavored instrumental. “Fight Music” featuring Brotha Lynch Hung & X-Raided shows the trio on the verge of being ready to throw hands while the crooning “All I Know” featuring Evil Ebenezer talks about the only thing they’re familiar of & knowing they gotta change.
Detroit veterans Kuniva & Swifty McVay of prior D12 fame both join Merkules for the boom bap-tinged “Big Bad Bullies” refusing to fake the funk while “Assholes” featuring Chris Webby talks about always keeping ammo on them & only speaking practice when they shoot. “Safety Off” embraces a rap rock vibe only needing some kush & his wife beside him while “Deserve You” shows gratitude towards his ride-or-die chick.
“R.W.T.R. (Riding with the Reaper)” featuring B-Real chops up the soul samples again talking about driving around past midnight with Death beside them while “Mirrors” featuring Ricky Hil speaks of having conversations with mere reflections of themselves. “Championship Rings” brings October London on the hook to talk about coming from the bottom & “Runnin’ Away” featuring DIZZYISDEAD finishes Merk’s debut under the untouchable Death Row on some emo rap shit.
Starting the deluxe run, “Inside My Head” acoustically airs out those in his life who’ve become envious of his success while “Twisted” featuring Jelly Roll talks being sick to their stomachs & drinking alcohol to numb it. “LowKey” featuring Twista intensely shows off their chopper abilities & Merk keeping up with the Chicago vet while the Mobb-infused “Yeah Yeah Yeah” featuring Too $hort talks about another day in the lives of real ones.
“Time” passionately shows 0 tolerance for anyone tryna bring him down while “Voices” featuring Struggle Jennings talks about hearing shit inside their heads. “Homicide” featuring Bone Thugs-n-Harmony angrily warns a murder or 2 will take place if you fuck around with them while “6:00 News” featuring Chris Webby feels as if both of them are losing their minds getting shade from artists who are now washed & past their prime.
Caskey pops out to a lay a verse during “Revenge” so they can tell everyone to get the fuck out their faces & give them the space they need while “Better Myself” featuring Rittz tackles mental health talking about improving themselves as people & everything seeming like they’re drowning in the deep end. “Not Like You” featuring Hopsin reflects on everyone who’s told them that neither artist wouldn’t be in the positions they’re in currently while “In Your Feelings” talks about never falling off.
“Woodstock ‘99” calls for everyone to go crazier than the festival that took place during the summer of 1999 & making it the best night of everyone’s lives while “Nerves” talks about him partying until it hurts as well as having blisters on his fingers because of blowing money. “Need Me Now” featuring Benny the Butcher observes those in their lives who respectively need them more than ever while “In My Sleep” featuring The Game rides around the city looking lavish.
Keeping the extra freshness going, “Hollywood Hills” lets everyone know where he can be found now that he’s signed to one of the absolute most notorious record labels in the entire music industry while “I’m Here” explains that he only fears God realistically. “Inferno” confesses to trippin’ as of late & simultaneously feeling larger than ever as an artistic while “The Title” asks what you’d expect after crossin’ a psycho like him.
“C’est la Vie” talks about the problems getting bigger as a result of the money growing & it hitting differently since he came form the bottom while “Pat Stay Forever” profoundly remembers the late battle rap standout Pat Stay. “DNA” featuring Conway the Machine talks about sleepless nights getting them to where they are in 2025 while “Do This to You” cautions of bodies dropping if you get too cocky around him.
Millyz makes the first of 2 appearances with “Nauseous” remembering when others said they wouldn’t be shit & them basically being afraid of the success coming their way while “Commas” talks about having a lot of problems & wanting to stack his paper even higher. “Cigarette” will be more enjoyable to anyone who enjoys smoking them even if I don’t since I don’t fuck with tobacco while “Still Him” talks about the hunger remaining inside himself.
“Distant” apologizes for not being as intimate as he usually is citing the reasoning for him suffering mentally & avoiding facing the fuck-ups he caused while “Middle of Nowhere” talks about being unsure as to where to go & feeling scared in the mental prison he’s inside of. “Run Away” featuring Phix contains a genuine theme of escapism even if Phix always stood out as being equally corny as Dax in my opinion that much for me personally while “Ha Ha Ha” gives a shot at trying to make more uptempo stuff.
As for “My Shoes”, we have Merkules talking about feeling unstoppable because of his Godly flow while “Ups & Downs” delves down the basement feeling worthless at rock bottom & seeing change soon as he accepted his flaws. “The West” gives even more flowers to the sunshine state shifting in favor of g-funk once more while the soulful boom bap crossover “Good Kid” looks back on not causing trouble during his childhood.
“No Favours” dismisses the notion of anyone doing him any favors since he doesn’t want to self destruct & wondering where everything went wrong in his life while “Lights Camera Action” exuberantly clarifies his success not happening overnight. “Give Me a $ign” talks about not trying to break & finding new ways of numbing his pain because there’s only being so much he can take while “10 Toes” promises to stay on top for eternity.
The longest reigning 2-time JCW World Juggalo Tag Team Champions the Insane Clown Posse showing up during the Shaggytheairhead-laced “Swish” only makes sense making way for Merk, the shortest reigning JCW World Juggalo Heavyweight Champion Shaggy 2 Dope & the JCW Commissioner Violent J to tell these bitches they only mad since their girls plays both artists’ music while “Fill My Cup” gives a nod to anyone who’s going through hard times in their lives at this current moment. “Never Come Down” featuring Millyz talks being up way too high prolifically & never imagining they’d be making goodbyes while “Switch Lanes” pokes fun at other artists who’re bitch made.
“No Hooks” talks about the Death Row logo justifiably showing everyone who’s been paying attention to him in recent memory exactly who the fuck he rolls with while “Cory & Trevor” featuring Lil Windex of all fucking people likens themselves to both characters from Trailer Park Boys on Netflix. “Momma We Made It” publicly & assures his mother he’s finally become a successful artist in a heartfelt full circle moment & the final bonus track “Ego Intervention” comes off as more of a therapy session than a diss.
My introduction to Merk personally came right when he had a verse on the Tech N9ne album ENTERFEAR a month following the start of the COVID-19 lockdowns & all 24 songs on the final version of his Death Row debut combined with 46 outtakes that were left on the cutting room floor turned out to be better than I would’ve thought. C-Lance nails it at making Survivor’s Guilt the most well-produced offering in Merkules’ discography, giving more than enough room for him & most of the guests to enhance the enjoyability.
California emcee Wildcard linking up with C-Lance for his 8th studio LP. Coming up in 2007 off the debut Dark Night of the Soul, he would go on to build up an impressive discography for himself from there whether it be The Odyssey & The War or even his last couple efforts Shadow Work & Change in Cabin Pressure. Last summer’s Western Promises resulted in one of his finest albums of his entire career yet & is now looking to up the ante by dropping The Zodiac Project.
“Aries World” opens up with a horn-heavy boom bap instrumental referring to a bunch of rats on meth as being Disney on Ice while “Taurus Jacket” maintains the sonic vibes of the predecessor talking about what he spent his 1st rap check on. “The Gemini Dance” featuring Kail Problems fuses rock & trap discussing themes of romance just before “Cancer Circle” featuring BARZ! finds the 2 talking about pushing until the wheels fall.
Apathy joins Wildcard for “Leo Lounge” returning to the boom bap promising that everyone’s getting clapped as if it’s gonorrhea leading into the soulful “Virgo Lane” apologizing for causing pain when he was selfish to the core. “Libra Season” featuring Dead Poet Devil hooks up a gospel sample to talk about going through it all while “The Scorpio Element” goes rap rock acknowledging that the hardest thing for him to do is change.
“Sagittarius Soul” has these prominent organs mixed with kicks & snares for a dedication to his mother while “The Capricorn Game” featuring A-Wax finds the 2 linking up & talking about their trigger fingers getting cold. “Aquarius Blue” shifts gears back in trap territory encouraging to drown out the voices in your head, but then “A Pisces Tomorrow” featuring Endr Won introspectively wants those who’re not in their lives anymore that they love them if they were here.
Pizzo comes into the picture on the song “Summer Snow” dropping hardcore lyricism on top of this crooning boom bap instrumental while “Brutal Blue” featuring B-Guy Griffin blends some hi-hats with melodic background vocals talking about the wild & lawless lifestyles that they live. “All Above the Above” ends The Zodiac Project with 1 more soulful boom bap joint pouring heart in his music only providing y’all with his side of the story.
C-Lance has become one of the best underground producers within the last 15 years & for anyone who loves the tracks that he’s done with Wildcard up to this point, you’re gonna love The Zodiac Project equally if not a tad bit more than the Western Promises he made almost a year & a half ago. The concept if you couldn’t tell is built around the zodiac signs & C-Lance’s diverse production carries over the consistency of the predecessor.
New York emcee & revered battle rapper RJ Payne formerly known as Reign Man back with his 9th EP. Building up an extensive solo catalogue for himself with 23 mixtapes as well as well as his last 7 EPs & 4 full-length albums. Benny the Butcher even signed RJ to Black Soprano Family Records for a brief period of time, putting out some of best material like Leatherface & Square Root of a Kilo under Benny’s ever-growing indie label of his own. However, My Life’z a Movie produced by Stu Bangas quickly became my favorite LP in RJ’s discography celebrating it’s 1-year anniversary last weekend & to come off the moderately well received P.A. Dre-produced sequel last month, Enemy Soil Entertainment in-house producer C-Lance is teaming up with the Reign Man for a trip to The Barbershop.
After the “Barberchair” intro, the first song “Uninspired” explains his reasons for inspiration being at a low currently over a luxurious boom bap instrumental whereas “Already Rich” works in some glamorous keys talking about being rich spiritually. “Man Child” gives off a somber vibe musically coming to teach & rebuild the love, but then the piano-driven “The Ghost of Kevin Samuels” gives his flowers to the late controversial internet personality going on to say that we need to look into the mirror & get our shit together.
“Losing My Religion” has a crooning soul vibe to it telling y’all to consider him to be a hoodlum with a mission while “Slave Food” cautioning those who’ll use food as a weapon as he’s been noticing it since the recession. But until the “Barberchair” outro, the final song “Conspiracy Theories” prays that every day will get better being well aware of what the government’s hiding over some kicks, snares & an luscious backdrop.
If My Life’z a Movie is RJ’s best album, then there’s no question in my mind that The Barbershop will stand the test of time as my favorite EP of his because I went into it expecting it to be an LP but they still delivered on the same caliber as that Stu Bangas-produced album. Conceptually, RJ takes the listeners through a trip experience feeling as if you’re at an actual barbershop & the score that C-Lance cooks up is incredibly consistent.
Novatore is a 34 year old MC from Chicago, Illinois who originally came up as a member of the Infamous Crew. He’s also built up an impressive solo career since 2015 by dropping 4 EPs & 9 albums all in that amount of time, with the previous offering Master of Morbid Creations this past spring. But for his 10th full-length over here, Novatore’s enlisting both Johnny Slash & longtime collaborator C-Lance behind the boards for such a milestone in his ever-growing discography over 2 months since former 2-time AEW World Champion CM Punk cut a shoot promo regarding his former 2-time ROH World Tag Team Champion partner in former アイアンマンヘビーメタル級王座, JCW World Juggalo Heavyweight Champion, 2-time NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion, 2-time NWA National Heavyweight Champion & RPW British Heavyweight Champion Colt Cabana.
“Outlaws of Outer Space” opens up the album with a synth-boom bap hybrid talking about being ready for total war prior to King Magnetic tagging along for “Road Warriors” named after the WWE Hall of Famers & former 3-time WWE tag team champions welcoming you to your only future & the crooning sample throughout is flipped really well. “Audio Assault” ruggedly calls for all his enemies to fall to their knees leading into A.M. Early Morning & Nightwalker coming into the picture for “The Time Has Come” to flex their prowesses & my favorite part about the beat has to be the guitar hands down.
Continuing from there with “Terry Funk Syndrome”, we have Novatore over more synth/boom bap production referring himself to be amongst the dopest out paying homage to the WWE Hall of Famer, former 2-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion, ECW Television Champion, 2-time WWE United States Champion, WWE Tag Team Champion, NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion, former JCW World Juggalo Heavyweight Champion & 3-time WCW Hardcore Champion of the same name whereas “End Times” is just an instrumental interlude.
“The Game is Over” with Benny Holiday & iLL ZakieL finds the trio ruggedly letting everyone know they didn’t come to fuck around while the song “Mass Panic” has a more dustier quality to it talking about how we’ve been a nation of zombies. The penultimate track “Wasteland” with OutcastGawd Lord El sees the pair going back & forth with one another over a pitched-loop until “Class Act” is a piano-laced closer talking about never being afraid to fail.
Although I’d personally say Master of Morbid Creations happens to be the better of the 2 albums that Novatore has dropped throughout 2022, you should be more than satisfied with what we got on Living in the End Times. The features are a little hit or miss, but the production & concept are both as strong enough as the predecessor’s to make me be able to want to listen to it again.
This is the full-length debut from Boston producer C-Lance. Breaking out in 2010 after becoming an in-house producer for Enemy Soul Entertainment, he would go on to become one of the underground’s most prominent names ranging from the Army of the Pharaohs to Swollen Members. He spent last year dropping a beat tape every single month with each one being composed of samples of music from other countries with summer approaching, C-Lance is at long last unleashing The Undying Flame.
After the intro, “Sons of Godzilla” by Apathy & Celph Titled is an apocalyptic boom bap opener flexing their rapping prowesses whereas “Avocado Money” by Crimeapple & Vinnie Paz works in some vibraphones talking about being in a different ballgame. “Lord of Illusions” by G-Mo Skee & Jarren Benton finds the pair over a melodic vocal sample belittling their competition referencing the recently departed former アイアンマンヘビーメタル級王座, TNA World Tag Team Champion, WCW World Television Champion, 2-time WWE United States Champion, 7-time WCW World Tag Team Champion, 4-time WWE Intercontinental Champion & 2-time WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall leading into the piano-laced “Total Disaster” by Cryptic Wisdom, Novatore & Rittz talking about going from nothing to the successful artists that they are today.
Meanwhile on “Behead the God”, we have Tha Connection coming into the picture over some synths that’re reminiscent to that of an old school video game saying the world is theirs just before “The Book of Life” by MURS & R.A. the Rugged Man brings the keys back in to provide the listeners with some inspirational subject matter. “Macaulay Culkin” by Chris Webby & Merkules incorporates some whistling into the beat talking about how crazy they are, but then “Something Different” by Junk hooks up a crooning loop calling out wankstas.
“Leap of Faith” by Big Twins & Evidence finds the 2 boasting their greatness over blobby boom bap instrumental while the appropriately “Bring the Terror” by Blaq Poet & Reef the Lost Cauze weaves in some horns to wreak havoc lyrically. “Tales from the Darkside” by Ill Bill & Snak the Ripper has this dope, pitched-up vocal sample with both MCs delivering some morbidly vivid imagery & after Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind’s interlude, “Riots By Masked Men” by Lord Goat & Recognize Ali eerily gets on their murder shit.
Following that, “Wildfire” by Madchild & Sick Jacken has these incredible organ harmonies comparing themselves to such while the song “Keep Calm” by Charlie Fettah, Daniel Son & Jay Royale finds the trio over a thunderous beat talking about maintaining through the fire. The penultimate track “Last Wishes” by Esoteric, Slaine & Termanology returns to a soulful sound advising not to fuck with them while “Ride It Out” by Blind Fury ends the album on a feel-good note saying he’ll be here until the end.
I’ve been a fan of this dude’s production work since my high school years, so for him to get his own full-length debut was very much anticipated & it certainly lived up to my expectations. It’s a fresh showcase of his signature sound & some of the illest MCs in the underground happen to pop up so they can rip his beats to shreds.
The Konspiracy Kamp are a quintet from Kalamazoo, Michigan consisting of Checkmait, Drama Treason, J Cutlass, Shneal & Young Ghost. The group has gone on to release 4 full-length albums & an EP throughout the 7 years they’ve been together but for the 20 year anniversary of 9/11, they’re enlisting Boston veteran C-Lance to produce a 7-track EP in it’s entirety.
“TV & Jesus” hypnotically kicks the EP off by telling us the 2 things that America really needs whereas “Neck Cutter” goes into boom bap territory getting bloodthirsty. 9th Prince tags along for the Middle Eastern-tinged “Blood on the Hand” proclaiming themselves as rebels. The titular song has a more trap vibe calling for unity just before “Regicide” heinously calls to kill all the kings. The penultimate track “Loud Ass Mouth” is a boom bap banger about how they’re always talking shit, but then the closer “Heretic” works in some snares & a guitar talking about how people wanna burn them.
I’ve been following these guys for a few years now & coming away from Infidel, I was not disappointed by it whatsoever. The raw production of their previous efforts is taken to a whole new level as is their conscious lyricism & even the way all the members bounce off one another.
Novatore is a 33 year old MC from Chicago, Illinois coming up as a member of the Infamous Crew. He’s also built up an impressive solo career in the last 6 years by dropping 4 EPs & 7 albums, the previous being Portrait of a Mad Man this past November. But given his history with Enemy Soil Entertainment in-house producer C-Lance, it’s only right for them to drop a sequel to Embrace the Darkness.
After the “Demon to Some” intro, the first song “Antisocial” is a boom bap banger about how Novatore doesn’t like people whereas “Smoke & Mirrors” goes into a more operatic direction to tell listeners what you thought it was is something that isn’t.
NEMS comes along for the atmospheric “Myth” pretty much saying their success was imminent while the somewhat quirkily-produced “Embrace the Darkness” opens up about losing faith watching people die.
Meanwhile with “Mask Up”, we get a Japanese sample in the beat as Novatore teams up with G-Mo Skee sending warning shots to their naysayers just before Termanology & A.M. Early Morning help get reminiscent on the string-laced “Looking Back”.
The actual “Night Raiders” song featuring Moecyrus succeeding an “Opening Credits” interlude brings in some synth-horns as they talk about there’s no one like them while the penultimate track “Raising Hell” is an off-the-top freestyle backed by a weepy beat. The album ends with “Workaholic”, which works in a hypnotic vocal sample & the dude raps about his hustle obviously.
It’s very rare when a sequel album is better than the predecessor, but Explorers of Experience pulls it off. Novatore’s pen-game keeps elevating to higher levels with each new project he puts out, you can never really go wrong whenever C-Lance is on the boards & putting them together results in mayhem.
C-Lance is a 33 year old producer from Boston, Massachusetts who broke out in 2010 after becoming an in-house producer for Vinnie Paz. He would go on to become one of the underground’s most prominent names for the likes of the Army of the Pharaohs, La Coka Nostra, Swollen Members, R.A. the Rugged Man & G-Mo Skee throughout the last decade. However, C-Lance has decided to drop a new album every month throughout 2021 & is kicking it off with a sequel to his previous instrumental album The Ghosts of Mt. Fuji.
Things kick off with the title track, which has these dusty boom bap drums & some horns that kinda remind me of the classic Pharoahe Monch joint “Simon Says” for some reason. The next instrumental “Duel Under Autumn Leaves” has a sound kin to that of Visions of Gandhi while “The Ghost of Yarikawa” gets back on the boom bap rip albeit with a more alluring loop attached to it. The “Bamboo Forest” instrumental has these string sections throughout that give it a cinematic feel to it while “The Hannya Mask” sounds like it was originally made for Chaly & the Filth Factory.
The “Curse of the Snow Woman” instrumental perfectly lives up to it’s name with it’s spooky vocal harmonies & icy keys whereas “Oni & Yurei” dives right back into that Vinnie/JMT sound. The “Haunting in Kawasaki” kinda reminds of me C-Lance’s first instrumental album House of 1,000 Beats with its horror movie quality while “Shrine of Kobe” stands out as the most uptempo beat on the entire project without question.
“Spirits of Inunaki Tunnel” is laced with a heavenly vocal loop throughout while the penultimate beat “Shadow of the Samurai” is the complete opposite as the crooning samples sound evil & the trumpet is a nice touch as well. “Tears Falling in Tokyo” ends with a dusty flip fit for crying in the hometown of the current IWGPヘビー級王座 in his 3rd reign & IWGPインターコンチネンタル王座 in his 6th reign 内藤哲也.
This dude has been one of my favorite producers in recent memory & I can’t wait to hear everything else he has in store for the year. He does a good job at taking all these Japanese samples & putting his own grimy spin on them much like The Ghosts of Mt. Fuji providing a soundtrack to a trip out in the prefecture that made former CMLL Mundial Pesomedio Campeon, CMLL Mundial Parejas Campeon, オープン・ザ・ドリームゲート王座, 2-time NWA World Jr. Heavyweight Champion, 11-time IWGPジュニアヘビー級王座, IWGPジュニアタッグ王座, GHCジュニアヘビー級王座, GHCジュニアヘビー級タッグ王座 & WWE Hall of Famer 獣神ライガー.
Legends Will Never Die
