You can get the album via amazon.com
Or another option: I have
the album and I can hook you up with a copy. Just email me if you're interested, and we will work something out. In the
meantime, here's my review of Roy's rap effort:
Round One-The Album
- by Roy Jones Jr.
Unsurprisingly, Roy Jones Jr.'s first foray into the recording studio yields a predictable series of rants
that's often more off the mark than on. While the king of athletic finesse in the ring brings the same type of approach and professionalism
to his work in the studio, "Round One The album" offers nothing new, interesting or insightful
about the sport of boxing or Roy's own career. It serves mainly as a 60 minute long advertisement
for Jones' accomplishments and ego. Anyone who would buy the album is likely well aware of Roy's ring accomplisments.
But Jones uses a these tracks to remind us that he conquered mid-level fighters such as David Telesco.
Yes, Roy can rap to a certain degree and he showcases some musical talent. But it's clear he's an average rapper at best
who is incapable of churning out any original content. And after a few songs into "Round One-The Album," it's clear that this is a collector's item for boxing fans that will provide
nothing more than a few chuckles. Roy, thanks for adding something different to my CD collection, but....keep your night job.

Oscar De La Hoya
- by Oscar De La Hoya
While Oscar did not generate many headlines from the ring in 2000, he definitely made a splash with his musical debut. Even the critics have acknowledged that Oscar showcases some vocal talent on his eponymous debut album.
If you don't think you can stomach the pretty boy's latest project, there's a good chance your girlfriend or wife will appreciate this album.
