Conflicts & Confusion is the second album by the American rapper Crime Boss, released in 1997.[5][6] It was his most successful album, peaking at no. 25 on the Billboard 200.[7] The album was produced by T-Mix and the duo of E-A-Ski and CMT.

"Please Stop" was released as a single.[8]

Critical reception

The Orange County Register wrote: "The production by Oakland's E-A-Ski is the album's high point. Most of the beats are creative, unique and not hyped-up '70s samples."[4] The Houston Chronicle thought that "while Conflicts & Confusion's tales of the urban war zone break no new ground, Crime Boss' lyrical skills and the solid production lifts the overall product."[3]
