This one goes right next to Portishead in my "music to kill yourself to" collection. As I've been writing for weeks, this is one of the most distinctly original projects I've heard in a long time, I respect the f**k, if you can do such a thing, our of James & Hazard's artistic vision.

I agree with Nathan here. I respect this project for what it is more than anything. Great job.

This was an excellent follow-up to this Washington Post interview w/Chuck D that I was reading on the metro this morning. Chuck was lamenting the many shortcomings of hip-hop now a days; holding the equally vacuous artist & journalist/media responsible for how constant elevation has become an oxymoronic misnomer. Somebody has to figure out a way to get this in Chuck’s hand and let him know that all is not lost.
This joint was hitting me on all cylinders; neck was cracking & the cerebellum was throbbing. But it was the laser shot to my cerebral cortex from his lyrics that had me in that special place: “Perpetual genocide, how do you stop that Because of crack – heaven is 80% black. Coincident no! Every incident is planned The hatred & the anger, the inner workings of man” These weren’t even the best lyrics on the album, just what stayed on my brain pan as I was trying to get into this meeting. This is that good shit that a lot of us “heads” miss because the labels & media keep shoving the same garbage at us. There’s nothing homogenous about hip-hop but if archeologists 200 yrs from now analyzed our music per the radio & tv playlists and media coverage – you would think we were a bunch of ‘effing idiots. Critical Thinking is not optional |

Respect the sh$T out of any artists that can put anything down on a track that has no bullshit to it and is coming strait to you with no influence besides themselves. That's exactly what this is. It's how any movement is started whether it's music or anything else. If you guys stay true to yourselves and the music you'll see yourselves far more on top of where your at right now just don't look back.

This is a great mixtape with thought fulfilled and provoking lyrics. To me, this is Album quality. If this is what they put out as a mixtape, then i can't wait to hear the album. Good work guys.

this would go down fantastically well in the UK being as were generally more into thought provocation by surrounding and do not suffer the disposable here today gone tomorrow lifestyles of American society although the U.S is predestined to bully everyone else in the world to follow suit...thankfully some of us will always aspire to rebel ...this mixtape does this to the hip hop world ..thankyou
