First of all I wanna thank Nick Pro for sending us whole lot of Errelevent's cds. Here's the review by BayUndaground staff available now at BayUndaground.com:

San Francisco rapper Errelevent and Daly City producer Equivalent Exchange brought their new collabo project entitled "Destroy & Rebuild" released under Spitz Unlimited. They've been very kind for all the fans as the whole album is free to download from the official Spitz Unlimited website.

The cd itself was actually released in a physical form, yet only as a promotional material recorded on a cd-r with a front artwork wrapped in a sleeve. Nonetheless the outer shape of it doesn't mean it's a mixtape. "Destroy & Rebuild" is a full length album with all new songs produced by Equivalent Exchange. You might have already heard his beats on Errelevent's "Redefinition" project. The vocal side is handled by a Latin artist from SFC, who has already recorded a few solo endeavors and dropped a compilation presented by him and 10sion. Usually a free cd presents rather underground, low budget and low quality music, yet this one is priceless, as its creators put their hearts and hard work into it. Polished cover encourages us to play the disc and check if the inside is truly what they say it is - "the dopest album not in stores". From the very beginning to the very end the music is kept on a proper level, where production runs the show. Equivalent Exchange made a great effort to handle all the beats not lowering the overall standard for a single minute. The music is clean and loud, most often includes strong and clear bass lines with unique and melodious instrumental loops. A major part of songs will move your feet and make you bob your head, as it's held in a laidback / relaxing style. The lyrical message is rather a typical one with a little bit of this and that. We'll hear Errelevent talking about himself, the rap business, the music itself and lounging at the parties with friends. Nothing discovering really, yet still pleasant to listen to. A slim list of features gives the host a great chance to prove his emcee talent. Errelevent presents a normal, not distinguishing voice and a professional ability to deliver rap rhymes. He's got no problems with keeping the track pace and easily fits into different beats. I wouldn't call his flow an average one, as he does his craft correctly, yet his voice and flow may be overshadowed by other Bay Area cats. Combining a superb production from Equivalent Exchange with a proper delivery from Errelevent gave us a quality rap cd. It would be a sin not to check what these artists have to offer, knowing that "Destroy & Rebuild" is a free project.
