Kool Moe Dee: The Jive Collection, Volume 2 [Jive, 1995]
Volume 2 not for the artist, but for his label's new catalogue exploitation; nine of the 12 tracks also appear on Moe Dee's 1994 best-of, with which it shares its inferiority to his first two solo albums. But the three additions--"Knowledge Is King," "Funke Wisdom," "The Avenue"--show off his brainy independence. Both comps fulfill their destiny. This one goes in the changer. B+
