"I know this is just an EP, but how a CD that has the emcees of this caliber on it goes for less than $1.00 is beyond me. I mean, I could go into detail like I usually do, but I'm just going to say that the production is dope (Organized Noise, 88 Keys, & Mr. Khaliyl) and list the names representing here:



Mos Def, Kool G. Rap, Common, Tiye Phoenix, Posdnous, Rah Digga, Punchline, J-Live, Dante & Main Flow [Mood], Pharoahe Monche, Nine, Talib Kweli, Breeze Brewin' [Juggaknots], Wise Intelligent, Mr. Len, John Forte, Shyheim, El-P, Channel Live, and Cappadonna....and they all united to take a stand against police brutality and the murder (let's call it what it is) of Amadou Diallo.



The line up itself makes this a must have because every last one of them represent. The message is plain, simple, and to the point -- stop police brutality. It's an EP, so there isn't a whole lot of detail to go into (only 4 tracks and 3 instrumentals).



Amadou Diallo would've been proud of this EP. It's most certainly worth more than the $0.81 I see it selling for. That's a steal and I recommend taking advantage while it's still possible to do so..."

"This record was made for the hip hop world to step up and take notice of Police brutality at its worst. Amadou Diallo shot 41 times, black man, unarmed, no real reason. These rappers step up and take a stand. The known and popular rappers include Black Star, Rah Digga, Common, Pharoahe Monch, Dead Prez and Posdnous from De La Soul. They, along with other known underground rappers, address Amadou Diallo, solutions, knowledge, and facts. There's really nothing else I can say, it just must be experienced. A real hip hop fan should possess a copy. A very important record."
