"The Lost Freestyle Files" by Supernatural was released on March 25, 2003 via Babygrande Records.  The rapper's best moments are well documented on this lengthy compilation. Even more amazing is that despite being in rap's upper echelon for two decades, this is Supernatural's debut album. As "Internationally Known" suggests, Supernatural is "the star of the show" here. The opening track also has a definite feel along the lines of 2Pac and B.I.G. as he recounts his global travels. "Work It Out," which features members of Jurassic 5 and Rakaa Iriscience from Dilated Peoples, has a good groove to it as soulful Motown female harmonies are heard in the loop.  The battle between Supernatural and Craig G has a boxing-match atmosphere on the appropriately titled "Clash of the Titans." Coming across as a battle of urban poetic gunslingers, the duo certainly entertains the audience over nearly 12 minutes. "Get Ready to Rumble" features the rapper being a showman, taking words from the audience and creating rhymes from them. The remainder of the album is nothing but quality tracks, including an epic freestyle on New York University's radio station and "Suckaz" featuring Jedi Mind Tricks' frontman, Vinnie Paz.
