Shaquille O’Neal and Jersey Legends Productions are bringing back hits from Shaq’s legendary hip-hop album, You Can’t Stop The Reign. Originally released in 1996 during Shaq’s prominence in the league and transformational time in the hip-hop scene, the You Can’t Stop The Reign album was distributed by O’Neal’s own record label, TWIsM. The album paired the Big Man with some of the most iconic emcees of the time including The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z and Mobb Deep, all of which are featured on the record. The title track, a nod to Shaq’s success on and off the court as well as the musical prowess of featured artist Biggie, became a Billboard Top 100 hit on the Hip-Hop/R&B Airplays and No.17 on the Official Dance Singles Chart.
O’Neal alluded to the re-release during a June 12th airing of his podcast, The Big Pod with Shaq. The episode featured a one-on-one conversation with hip-hop legend, Ice Cube. O’Neal and Ice Cube released a rap song together in 1997 called ‘Men of Steel’ for the film Steel.
