"This album is refreshing on so many levels that it is just ridiculous after listening to a considerable amount of absolute crap this year you hear an album like this and it is just a breath of fresh air. when I hear 50 Cents and Mike jones laughable attemtps at "Hiphop" that all these kids seem to be buying into these days I have to wonder where did the heart and soul go in the music where did lyrical skill go & where did we get to the point that Hiphop music is nothing more than bland iced out players that all look the same spitting the same lyrics about cars money and h--s over beats on the radio that all sound the same. That is why this album is so important the lyrics alone are reason enough to pick this CD up but the beats are equaly great. Stro The 89th Key is quickly becoming one of my favorite producers combining jazz funk soul and rock to create a style that is truly revolutionary. while listening to this several groups come to mind such as The digable Planets, The Pharcyde, and Public Enemy Yes they are that diverse. Hands down one of the best albums I have ever heard. For every politician, school teacher, and parenting group who thinks that Hiphop is nothing more than pretentious garbage that is corupting the minds of our youth you need to listen to this album."

Best Rap album in years

"I know that's a grandiose statement but I like this one so much it's ridiculous. Best alt-rap, underground hip-hop, old-school, new school, west coast east coast, secular, christian, conscious jazz-rap album in years. HARD TO CONTAIN IN ONE GENRE. Similar style to the Pharcyde. Multiple mc's playing off each others rhymes. Amazing skillz. Positive messages ABOUND."
