Can it GET any better than this?!

"First off, Vursatyl is the type of emcee who will leave you stunned and speechless. Track after track he runs through masterfully crafted verses with a distinct, soulful delivery while making use of a barrage of styles that are unique to each song. As far as production is concerned, Jumbo is only a few steps away from matching skills with the Mighty Chief Xcel himself (who produced two of the album's tracks: "Soldierfied" and "Emerge"). The beats are every bit as thought-out and intelligent as the lyrics that grace them. You won't find any of the bland, assembly-line beats you'd find on a Battle-Axe or Rawkus release here. As far as I'm concerned, this is an absolute classic hip hop album. DO NOT pass this one up!"

Life in stone.......hiphop's building material

"To put this simply.."GO COP THIS QUICK!!!!" It is an underground gem that doesnt deserve to be overlooked. There is a wide range of material on this so everyone will find s'thing they like on it. They seem to have a winning formula that shines on every track. There is 7 tracks that are nothing short of "perfect" and they are "soldierfied", "its over", "what if its true?", "l.i.f.e.", "fever" (my personal favourite), "resist" and "skeletons". Then you have another 6 at least that are damn close, which are better than most other bands "best joints". I swear, after being blessed enough to catch them live in DUBLIN a few months back(with arrested development and spooks) i knew they were dynamite. Dont let this album pass you buy. Great production, as you would expect from any quannum release, and mc's in the same vein as "gift of gab" from blackalicious you can only expect a bomb!!!!!"

Too much...

"this album has got to be one of the greatest discs to make it in my changer... i had to take out a living legends cd out to make room. the legends NEVER leave my car. i saw these guys at CaliComm 02 and they killed it. They do the same on this album. I play it over and over and it never gets burnt. but what can you expect from a Quannum group... their whole label puts out nothing but quality."
