***Two/Three*** is the second studio album by American musician Tadd Mullinix under his [Dabrye](/source/Dabrye) alias. It was released on June 13, 2006 via [Ghostly International](/source/Ghostly_International). Produced entirely by Mullinix, it features [guest appearances](/source/Guest_appearance) from Finale, [Invincible](/source/Invincible_(rapper)), Kadence, [Waajeed](/source/Waajeed), [A.G.](/source/A.G._(rapper)), [Beans](/source/Beans_(rapper)), Big Tone, [Guilty Simpson](/source/Guilty_Simpson), [J Dilla](/source/J_Dilla), [MF Doom](/source/MF_Doom), [Paradime](/source/Paradime), [Phat Kat](/source/Phat_Kat), Ta'Raach, [Vast Aire](/source/Vast_Aire) and [Wildchild](/source/Wildchild_(rapper)).

Comparing to its prequel, *[One/Three](/source/One/Three)*, which was released in 2001, the album almost doubles the length of its predecessor and, style wise, leans towards hip-hop music as it has guest vocal contributions from a number of rappers across fourteen of its twenty tracks. A sequel to *Two/Three*, *[Three/Three](/source/Three/Three)*, was released in 2018.

## Critical reception

[AllMusic](/source/AllMusic)'s Andy Kellman praised the album, calling it "the experience is dense and as cold as a Detroit alley on a February morning, packed with biting beats and thick atmospheric globs".[1] Mike Krolak of *Prefix* also praised the album, calling it "truly the next logical step, a new way of looking at the realities of the coming age while keeping things in perspective".[2] Neal Hayes of *[PopMatters](/source/PopMatters)* wrote: "throughout 20 tracks, the producer creates an unsettling soundscape dominated by insistent, intricate rhythms which often react with the vocals to stunning effect".[3] Steve Yates of *[The Observer](/source/The_Observer)* noted "Dabrye's production containing all the arrogance of [crunk](/source/Crunk) but a range and innovation that far outstrips anything else around".[4] Alan Ranta of *[Tiny Mix Tapes](/source/Tiny_Mix_Tapes)* praised "the tunes Tadd Mullinix puts out as Dabrye are obviously [hip-hop](/source/Hip-hop)" ... "or at least contain strong elements of [electronica](/source/Electronica)".[5]

In mixed reviews, Robert Long of *[AllHipHop](/source/AllHipHop)* concluded: "though it's tough to swallow all the Dabrye flavored Kool-Aid, on *Two/Three* the man doubled up with a solid effort".[6] Ryan Dombal of *[Pitchfork](/source/Pitchfork_(website))* praised Mullinix's "singular [Timbaland](/source/Timbaland)-meets-the flipside of *[Low](/source/Low_(David_Bowie_album))* rumble" as "more focused and intricate than ever", simultaneously criticizing many of the rappers as "wordy know-it-alls hell-bent on disrupting his groove". He praises Guilty Simpson's appearance as an example of "what *Two/Three* could be if the rappers were chosen based on entertainment value rather than how hard they're trying to save rap with big words".[7]
