"Because of the personnel on this album (Karen Briggs, Lou Taylor, Paul Litteral, Patrice Rushen, and Tony Joseph who produced the Unwrapped series), I consider this in some ways a spin-off from the Unwrapped series.
All original songs featuring some known artists and not so known artists (Jazz pianist Kevin Toney contributes on the album as well). Each track flows right into the next one, giving it a mixtape feel. Tight beats, awesome sax solos and horns, and some smooth vocals on "Enemy", "Da Truth", and "Kaos".
If you enjoyed the Unwrapped Series, then I believe you will enjoy this album."
Romanticizing The Grit of the City

"This isn't daiseys and clover but it has a pulse of its own. I love all kinds of music (but not all music). This is a nice blend of hip hop, smooth jazz, with a little touch of up tempo lounge music. There is a lot of variety of groove here. I stumbled on this CD. Sometimes you find great things when you aren't really looking for it. Add this one to your collection. You will find it will work in a lot of settings from Saturday afternoon, a lead in to an evening that will eventually get quiet and romantic, to something to listen to in the car coming home from work."
Street,well produced,need more of!!
