Such tracks earned him critical acclaim, where he was able to then draft in his own team of talent, known as J.U.N.I.O.R MAFIA.
Further success was to follow as Smalls went back into the studio to produce his second studio album titled "Life After Death". A two disk effort which would later become famous for the fact that it was the last self-made studio album from the rapper. The album offered something different from the rapper, one of which he used to illustrate his success. Tracks such as: "Love The Dough", Hypnotize", "Mo Money", "F**king You tonight" "Ten Crack Commandments", "Missing U" have cemented his place in history, as one of the great lyricist of all time.
