Shyne's debut, released while he was incarcerated: Bad Boyz with Barrington Levy, Platinum sales, and Biggie-comparison baggage.

Shyne arrived hyped as a gravel-voiced heir to Biggie’s cadence, then became inseparable from the Club New York shooting case. The album still landed at No. 5 and went Platinum with the rapper already behind bars.

Bad Boyz with Barrington Levy, Bonnie & Shyne with Barrington again on some editions, and Bang show the dancehall-meets-street mix. It remains a complicated Bad Boy classic: undeniable presence, impossible context.
