Lastly, taking middle stage throughout his latest open, Relief 2 the Ba$ics, Payroll Giovanni does the total heavy lifting on this outing, flying solo throughout the album’s 12 tracks. Led by the one “Throw The List Away,” Relief 2 the Ba$ics finds Payroll sticking to the script and counting on his tried-and-factual system of turning in dope bars atop an array of tough-hitting instrumentals.
