2008 album from Minneapolis' finest. Once again Ant handles the beats while Slug drops his signature story telling raps all over When Life Gives You Lemons, but by this point they've pretty much mastered their craft. This is the album that blew them up from the underground, the first to break the top 10 on Billboard as well as the highest charting of the entire Rhymesayers catalog. That said, if you're a longtime fan, you probably already own this (but maybe not on gold vinyl?), but for newcomers, this is a great album to start with. Comes with 20 page lyric booklet, digital download including tons of extras, and lemon scented labels.
