Million Dolla Broke Niggaz - Solo Tracks and Collaborations

Solo Tracks and Collaborations

In addition to the public service announcements, the group members contributed to the release in various ways. “Murdarous Verses” is a solo tracks featuring Killa the Hun, with D.L. contributing backup vocals. “Me Against Myself and I Prevail” features three of Str8jakkett’s personalities, all rapping in a schizophrenic bouillabaisse. D.O.P.E. produced two notable cuts, “Madness” and the original version of “Tired of Talking.”

The album also included lesser-known songs such as “DVS Mindbender,” which the group promoted as a potential single, performing the song several times in concert in the wake of the album's release. The album also featured rarely performed numbers such as “Unsigned Hype” and “Misrepresenters” two of the oldest tracks on the release. A track that continues to get attention is “Seven,” a seven-minute track with a chorus that didn’t show up until the last 30 seconds. “Seven” featured seven MCs, with DVS Mindz collaborating with a young trio called Qui-Lo, consisting of Jus an M.C. (who would later become Joe Good, an associate of Mac Lethal), Masta Chi (who would later become Titanium Frame), and Sket (who would later become Godemis and help found the Kansas City rap act Ces Cru). “These cats were like 17, 18 years old and they were on stage rocking 600 or 700 people at the Grenada,” Str8jakkett recalled in an interview. Qui-Lo was signed to DVS Mindz' independent label, No Coast Records, and recorded its debut album, which went unreleased after the trio disbanded.
