One could easily argue there is no number two album in No Limit’s run in 1998. There’s just 1A and 1B. But for the sake of discussion, somebody had to be the runner-up. This time around, the silver goes to none other than Mr. Whomp Whomp himself, Fiend. “There’s One in Every Family” is straight through. 

You want introspective? There’s “Only A Few” and “Take My Pain.” You wanna turn up? Play “On a Mission” and “Going Out With a Blast.” Sleepy Eyed Jones was slowly becoming a fan favorite prior to this drop, but the album solidified it. 

With one of the most distinct voices out of the camp, Fiend separated himself from a crowded No Limit roster with a gravely, baritone growl and signature “Whomp” adlib. “There’s One in Every Family” was an excellent debut from one of the Tank’s most beloved soldiers.
