"The Dayton Family is back and Representin' Till The World Ends. The CD is tight especially song6 Greedy and song7 Snitch Killa with Jake the Flake. I wouldnt say it better than or worse than Bootlegs solo I think theyre equally as tight. I gotta give shots out to the the tightest rappers to hit the bigtime. Well from DV the East Side of Flint I gotta say Peace out."

Shoestring hits hard but falls short

"Straight from Flint, Michigan comes the Dayton Family's Shoestring. This album could've been much tighter than it is, but it's still worth a listen. "Wiggy" starts things off with a high energy track that could get the party crunk. It features Madam Dame and fellow Dayton Family member Bootleg (who kicks a great verse). "Following a Star" presents a break from all of the shoot-em-up-gangstafied tracks, but still fails to measure up to such Dayton Family classics as "Oxydol" and "Thru a Thang." To his credit, Shoe has one of the hardest flows in rap today, but his flow can't shine when it's held back by lame beat/lame hook disease. Overall, this album leaves you wanting more of the old "What's On My Mind" & "F.B.I." days, which we will hopefully get back with the soon release of the new Dayton Family album."
