The following year, Teflon would go onto release his debut effort. Standing at ten tracks, the album allowed for fans to further discover the artistic range of the gruff-voiced lyricist hailing from Brownsville.<\/p>\n<p><em>My Will<\/em> is a promising first effort that preceded the Brooklyn rapper\u2019s buzz, which would reach its pinnacle in 2000 for his appearance on M.O.P&#8217;s <em>&#8220;Ante Up (Remix)\u201d<\/em> alongside <strong>Busta Rhymes<\/strong> and then fledgling star, <strong>Remy Ma<\/strong>. This cameo led to a deal with <em>Def Jam Recordings<\/em> failed to see the light of day, and the Brooklyn rapper took a much needed hiatus from the industry. Teflon staged his triumphant return in 2023 with his well-received sophomore LP, <em>2 Sides To Every Story<\/em>, produced by both <strong>DJ Premier<\/strong>, and the talented up and comer, <strong>Jazimoto<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This vinyl reissue boasts a few enhancements from the original pressing, which includes matte finished jackets equipped with an artwork overhaul that features an updated rear cover, along with a Coalmine-inspired flip of the original center labels all designed by <strong>Frank \u2018DJ Concept\u2019 DeMaria<\/strong>.
