I'm incredibly impressed. This is amazing, the complex lyricism and that feel of 90's vintage style really reminds me of some of that Golden Era quality material. This falls nothing short of classic material from our man HaLo and contributions from the works of lyrical monsters like Skyzoo and 9thMatic. Good to have another classic piece to add to my rotation for 2011. Let's just hope good material continues to come out!
