718 is the only studio album by American hip-hop group Theodore Unit. It was released on August 3, 2004, through Sure Shot Recordings. Recording sessions took place at Audiovision Studios and Circle House Studios in Miami, and Redline Studios and Sound On Sound Studios in New York from the same sessions for The Pretty Toney Album. Production was handled by K-Def, Emile Haynie, Anthony Acid, Cilvaringz, Dirty Dean, D. Prosper, Milestone, Nexus, Self, the Smith Bros., and DJ Skillspinz, with CL, Ghostface Killah and Mike Caruso serving as executive producers. Composed of Ghostface Killah, Trife Da God, Solomon Childs, Shawn Wigs, Kryme Life, Cappadonna and Du-Lilz, it features guest appearances from Bone Crusher, Kline, Method Man and Streetlife.
The album debuted at number 66 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and number 38 on the Independent Albums chart in the United States.
AllMusic's David Jeffries felt the record was more than "a scattershot bunch of leftovers surrounded by lesser rappers", praising the 1986 "over-the-top excitement" throughout the track listing while also displaying the "so fresh, so now, so underground sound". He also praised Ghostface, Trife and Method Man for their performances, but felt the other crew members did not distinguish themselves with their contributions. Jeffries concluded that "the album bounces between the raw and polished, and half of it is leftovers, but too many highlights to mention make it flow just fine." William Ketchum III of RapReviews praised Trife's "raw, authoritative flow and exceptional punchline prowess" on "Punch In Punch Out", "Paychecks", "88 Freestyle" and "Who Are We?", but was mixed on the other members, singaling out Solomon Childs' "slow, dragging flow" not being ideal for solo outings. Pitchfork contributor Sam Ubl called it "a nice, if unnecessary, accessory" to The Pretty Toney Album, praising Ghostface's "tic-addled vehemence" in his lyrics while delivering more introspection and a "touching vulnerability" on "Mama Can You Hear Me" and "Who Are We?", and critiqued that Trife was Ghostface's "closest competitor" on the album when delivering quality verses, concluding that: "Commercially feasible or not, 718 features enough stylish production and idiosyncratic rapping to service Ghostface's reputation while providing the Theodore Unit stable with a cornerstone for its own."
