Eyez on the Prize
Appearance
Eyez on the Prize is a hip hop compilation album released April 13, 1999 by the Trump Tight record label.[1][2]
The record was planned as a soundtrack to an independent film of the same name which Rodney Hisatake intended to co-produce. The film was to follow the struggles of four fictional brothers migrating from American Samoa to California, shedding light on the hardships of two of the brothers as they become entangled with the world of illicit drugs. The film was never completed due to insufficient funding.[3]
