The latest spin-off from the Bronx-born Terror Squad (first introduced by Fat Joe), Pun's quick-tongued delivery and witty lyrics have earned him a highly anticipated debut album, CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. Punisher blew up the spot with the street anthem "I'm Not A Player," the remix of which featured R&B singer JOE and helped gain commercial success for the Puerto Rican rapper. Both versions are featured on CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, in addition to other evidence of the artist's diversity. In addition to Big Pun's skills, the album contains some of the hottest upcoming talent in hip-hop, with MCs like Noreaga and the Wu-Tang's Rebel INS appearing as guests.
