Pros & Cons | Stack Bundles & Cau2G$ (CD/DVD)

Cau2G$ Was A Few Years Older Than Stack & Was Known As One Of The Best Rappers In Far Rockaway. They Grew Up Together In Redfern Housing Projects, Where A Young Stack, Rayquon, Was A Dancer & Cau2g$, Brian, Was A Rapper. When Cau Was Sent Upstate For A Couple Years, Stack Was In High School & Slowly Turned His Attention From Dancing To Rapping. By The Time Cau Came Home, The Neighborhood Was Buzzing That Rayquon Turned Rapper & Now Went By The Name Of Stack Bundles. The Reigning Champ Of Far Rock & The New Upcomer Immediately Clicked & Began Making Music Together. They Would Go On To Create The Group S5, Which Later Evolved Into The Infamous Riot Squad.

The DVD/CD Combo Of Stack Bundles & His Riot Squad Partner Cau2g$. The DVD Features The Two Of Them Performing 24 Songs & Freestyles That Have Never Been Heard Before. The CD Features 16 Unreleased/Unheard Songs.

This DVD Is Based On Raw Footage Of Riot Squad Members Stack Bundles & Cau2G$ Performing Unseen & Unheard Freestyles & Songs From March 3, 2001. It Is A Rare Glimpse At The Very Early Days Of Their Careers. This Footage Captures The Time Period Right Before Stack Got His First Deal & Lived With Lupe Fiasco. At This Point, Stack Had No More Than A Handful Of Really Longs Raps, Which You Can Hear His Friends Talk About On The DVD. A Few Of Stack's Original "4 Long Ass Raps" Are Performed On This DVD As Well. Cau2G$ Has Endless Bars Of His Own, But Also Performs A Few Songs He Had Recently Written With His New Rap Partner Stack Bundles.

This CD Is A Collection Of Unreleased Tracks That Were Written Around The Same Time As The Footage On The DVD. Stack Was Coming Into His Own As A Rapper At This Time & Cau2G$ Was Established As Far Rock's Finest. A Lot Of The Raps They Were Writing In 2001 Would End Up Being Recorded With Their First Group, S5, In 2002 & 2003. There Are Seven S5 Tracks On The CD Including All Of The Members (Stack Bundles, Cau2G$, Bynoe, Mike Millz) With The Exception Of Bishop, Who Got Locked Up & Never Had The Opportunity To Record With The Group. There Are Also Three Stack Bundles Tracks & Two Cau2G$ Tracks, Never Heard Before, Included On The Disc. All Of The Music On The CD Is Consistent With The Time Period. Listen Closely & Spot Some Verses From The DVD On The CD. And Make Sure To Watch The DVD To Hear Stories About Some Of These Songs Being Created.

Stack Mentions On The DVD That, "Stack Bundles & Cau2G$ Album Is Coming Man. It's Called The Pros & Cons. It's Coming" & Now It's Finally Here.
