innovative lyrics - more hip-hop inspired than anything...some battle-type raps, some about life and its struggles. all very very lyrical and deep. i think biggz might have posted some of this in his review:
"in a class of my own its full-blown and theres no remedy
my tendencies to flow incredibly make you remember me/
for centuries people will mention me being potentially
one of the best when its time to bless the m-i-c/
identity unknown stay on the low and peep the situation
with innovation keepin you deep in anticipation/"
i guess you could say the beats are influenced from all areas - west, east, south - definitely not your run-of-the mill bay area sounding shit. hard-hitting bass lines, catchy melodies, some live guitar/bass and a little sampling mixed in. the whole album is very well produced with ZERO filler tracks.
alot of people on this board are quick to criticize up-and-commers due to the fact alot of them are wack and really have no talent. like i said before, this is the album that backs up the talk (that this album is tight). take a chance on it and i guarantee you wont be disappointed.
oh and peep the review forum for a track-by-track review. thanks for the interest.
