Everything Is Everything (Brand Nubian album)

Everything is Everything is the third album from hip hop group Brand Nubian and the second released by the trio of Sadat X, Lord Jamar, and DJ Sincere. The album received mixed reviews and mediocre sales at the time of its release, despite a pair of popular singles, "Word Is Bond" and "Hold On." The album is completely produced by Lord Jamar except the Sadat X solo song "Alladat," which was produced by D.I.T.C. member Buckwild.[4]
