"I dont think i've ever heard a rap album quite like this. It is obvious that Jordan Davis is well versed in hip hop, and it seems like he took all the knowledge of hip hop, and spit it out all warped and genius. The beats are better than just about anything i've heard in forever, and the rhyming is delivered with both an effortless confidence, and with a crippling urgency that says more than perhaps he wanted to let on.

But the genius of this album is not in the words, the flo, or the beats. Jordan Davis seems to have that rare ear where he just knows what the right sound should be. All of these tracks are dripping with atmosphere(when was the last time a piece of music actually SCARED you). He puts everything together in such a perfect way thats its as pleasing to my ear, as it may as well be to an 80 year old. This is a great album(although maybe the hardest of all of Jordan Davis' albums to get into, its got a great pay off). This is a stunning album that will hopefully shake up the stagnant music scene, if anybody hears it.



*note* im not a kid, I barely even go online, but i just felt like this album needs some attention and praise so it does not just blush and bow its head out."

This is a dope album. Kinda wish I could say more.....but..

"........there is nothing else that needs to be said about it, but I will try.



This isn't an album for lovers of the D4L, Cam'ron, or Lil Jon. This album digs deeper than archaeologists in the Mariana Trench.



It's intelligent, yet he doesn't smear his intelligence all over the album. It's spacey rap to the nth degree.....like if Brian Eno or Emir Deodato, circa 1979, actually rapped over their own beats, with a slightly offbeat, but hella nice flow.



Or a teenaged El-P, high on crack. It's that serious.



I'm trying to better describe the music.....what if Space Mountain was real, and on Neptune, and music was played on loud speakers. This would be the soundtrack. Now...it's abrasive at first, only cohesive in theme..... and the WTF factor could be high, if your ear is trained to the likes of Fabolous or 50 Cent.



But for those looking for a change of pace in your hip hop variety, or just chill out.....this is the album for you.



It just is what it is. Straight hip hop....and it's official. And it mad cheap!



I hope he keeps pushin' out the albums, because I will continue to listen. (Although, if someone knows Jordan or if you, Jordan, read this yourself......you need a blog...a site...or something. I know you aren't trying to be this mega-popular presence....but it would be cool if people could find your other albums.)



SO BUY THIS ALBUM FOLKS! Like Phonte (from Little Brother) said, "....dope beats, dope rhymes...what more could y'all want?""
