"A futuristic department in Bay Area hip-hop has surfaced."

"Just ignore what ever the shmuck below has said in his review of this album. Exec Lounge defines what rhyme ability is all about! In my opinion, having an album where only two tracks are done collectively is actually good. Each MC brings his own unique display of wordplay throughout the record and The Architect crafts each beat accordingly to that MC's style. A perfect example of this is the track "Past Life." Watch how the beat switches up for Halekost's verse, and shamelessly acclimates to his method of rhyme. And if you really wanna get dirty on wax, "Bring The Heat" is what the doctor ordered. Keep in mind that, the album was never intended to be a stew of MC's left and right on every cut. It's quite orderly and it hits hard with an intention to prove that Cali's got heat.
