Laney is his niece. The cd is pretty tight. Didnt like a few of his songs like Ass like Dat. He needs to stick with droppin his deep stuff like toy soldiers. I wish Ricky TIcky Tock was actually on the Encore cd itself and not the bonus cd. 3 of his hottest songs were put on the bonus cd. I guess thats why its bonus though. Overall cd was 8 outta 10, but hasnt quit impressed me with anything like his Infinite album.
