Appearances: Book 1
Appearances: Book 1 is a compilation album by rapper Brotha [Lynch Hung], released on January 19, 2002 on Black Market Records, It is the first in a trilogy of compilation albums released throughout 2002. After Lynch released his second LP, Loaded, he began a long-standing feud with label head Cedric Singleton over the rights to his back catalog. To compile Book 1, Cedric scraped together a lot of either stolen Lynch songs or songs from other underground rappers' albums that featured Lynch. This is essentially a bootleg; it is rumored Lynch receives no profit on anything Black Market released after Loaded. The vast majority of these songs came from other artists' albums: 'Tremendous' was taken from Sicx's LP, "It's Real" came from Mr. Serv-On's album Life Insurance, 'Candy Wit' Slam' from Dubb Sak's LP, etc.
