At a time when the majority of hip-hop anthems focus on packin' gats and loadin' clips, the Lost Boyz have earned respect by putting the "party" back into rap music. On their follow-up to LEGAL DRUG MONEY, the Jamaica, Queens natives remain one of the few rap groups who seem to remember where hip-hop originated. LOVE, PEACE & NAPPINESS displays their ability to deliver radio-friendly mainstream rap without selling out their core audience.
Interesting stories, catchy choruses, and bangin' tracks make this an album that can be enjoyed from beginning to end. Lead rapper Mr. Cheeks proves to be a master of storytelling, especially on "Me & My Crazy World," where he describes the feeling of being in love with two women. "Beasts From The East," which features Redman, teen rapper A+ and newcomer Canibus, has a hard-core feel and adds grit to the album, while the title track takes it back to the old school with a sample of the classic Slick Rick song, "Hey Young World."

Rap Pages (9/97, p.96) - "...The Lost Boyz shine as anti-pop stars once again on their sparkling sophomore album....The narrative storytelling of Mr. Cheeks commands attention..."
