Only Death Can Kill You is the first collaborative studio album by American rapper Awol One and Canadian producer Factor Chandelier. It was released on Cornerstone R.A.S. in 2007.
Stewart Mason of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, describing it as "a hip-hop album that has a consistent mood and sound throughout instead of having to make a virtue of the jigsaw-puzzle quality that comes from the sound of too many collaborators and guest stars." [1] Gentry Boeckel of PopMatters gave the album 6 stars out of 10, saying, "Only Death Can Kill You is the best record of Awol's career, but it could have been the record he kept trying to one-up throughout the rest of his career."

Electric Circus is the fifth studio album by American rapper Common, released on December 10, 2002, on the now-defunct MCA Records. The album was highly anticipated and praised by many critics for its ambitious vision. However, it was not as commercially successful as his previous album, Like Water for Chocolate, selling under 300,000 copies. An eclectic album, Electric Circus features fusions of several genres such as hip hop, pop, rock, electronic, and neo soul. "I wasn't feeling hip hop," the rapper remarked. "So my motivation for that album were other genres of music, like Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix. It wasn't hip hop." This was Common's second and last album for MCA, as well as the final album released under the label, which would soon be merged into Geffen Records a year later.
