"First off I wanna start by saying that the production on this album is Solid. Prince Paul always puts out the best production possible and it's nice to see that he hasn't stopped makin bangers.
This album is almost like a compilation with tracks from De La Soul, Gravediggaz, Last Emperor, Chubb Rock & Biz Markie. Gravediggaz were featured on three tracks "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark","Constant Elevation and "Suicide" in which they are all standouts on this album. It isn't hard to believe though with Classic albums such as 6 Feet Deep and The Pick, The Sickle and The Shovel Gravediggaz can't go wrong.(For those that don't know, Gravediggaz is a group consisting of RZA from Wu-Tang, Frukwan of Stetsasonic, Poetic(R.I.P.) and Prince Paul).
There is a variation between tracks since there are so many featured artists so it is hard to describe exactly what kind of vibe this album gives. If Your a fan of Prince Paul this album won't dissapoint. If you enjoy this album I would also recomend the albums 6 Feet Deep- Gravediggaz and A Prince Among Theives-Prince Paul.
Standout Tracks: "My Mindstate","Don't Be Afraid of the Dark","Sucker For Love","No Rubber, No Backstage Pass","Constant Elevation","The Monolith","Suicide","Prince Paul vs. the World""

"Worth it for the 'Suicide' remix, alone.
This is a bunch of unreleased or remixed tracks. Liner notes include a blurb about each one giving an insight into the creation process, or why the track wasn't released etc.
This collection gives you an idea of why Prince Paul is so revered. He's been at it for a fair while now and has been involved in some seminal joints.
Grab it."
