"I can't explain enough about how tight this album is here, firstly it's haaard, the beats are heavy and its got some mad flows all throughout. This was in the heat of the gangsta rap era, dropping around the same time as about 15 billion(lol) other rappers from the westcoast were coming out. There were a few good rappers coming out at this time, all trying to be hard. But the blackmarket and siccmade had something a level up from what others were doing, X-raided, who was someone that didn't give a fucc and really meant and showed it. There was a lot of controversy about the label and this release, as it was given for evidence that got him locked up for killing 2 gang members. Anyway, X-raideds flows are sicc and couldn't be touched at this time by anyone in Sacc except for brotha lynch hung who was formerly in a group with x-raided. The tracks have good quality production and perfect use of samples(ohio players-funky worm) which a lot of people were using back then. Blended together with some haaard and heavy rapping from X which makes this a classic. I don't know what happened lately, but thats what always happens with people that come out tight. In my opinion, psychoactive, brotha lynchs 24 deep & season of da siccness, brotha lynch and sicxs Ni@@a deep and sicxs dead 4 life are the best of the blackmarket and siccmade selection, Mr doctors setrippin bloccstyle has some classic tracks on too and would come after. But anyways, if you are thinking about getting this, DO IT! it's some tight classic sh#t that you can't miss. Later!"

"Damn has anybody came any harder than X. In his freshman debut sacramento's hardest rapper came out with the siccist hits that have ever been spit on the mike. When I first heard him I was amazed. How hard can one man flow. Years passed and then I found myself looking for it, when listened to again its hard to believe its been over ten years since it came out. Way ahead of its time. After Brother Lynch's season of the siccness, the Garden bloc hasn't been the same. These are true classics, everybody should have them. X is still the hardest member of the Garden block and Psyco Active proves it."
