Kos has created an album that creatively and intelligently expands hip hop, and gives the audience what it wants. With hits such as Crabbuckit and Neutroniks, the man himself is revolutionizing hip hop to a tee, and making other 'rappers' choke.

One of the few hip-hop albums that I have heard latley that doesn't have any "filler" tracks. Each song has something to offer. Give it a listen and I think you'll agree

K-os is one of the few hip-hop artists that I truly enjoy listening to. I like how he combines hip-hop,rock, and other genres together. K-os truely has a unique sound.

I will not say much about this album as it has to be heard to be fully apreciated.A word of warning it is one seriously addictive album. Every Song a top notch example of K-Os' amazing talents. Not only an album but an insight into K-Os many theories on life and matters.Most definately a classic to put in the rack along with Illmatic, Ready to Die etc. Mixing genres like child play K-Os Really has created a masterpiece her. I cannot praise it enough.

Remarkably diverse, you will be stunned by K-Os. Often times you'll forget you're listening to songs by the same artist. From true folk songs to hip-hop's best beats, this album signifies the emergence of a musical virtuoso who defies genre labeling. Also, how does Crabbuckit, the Juno winner for best Canadian pop song of the year (over other crappy but well known nominees like Shania Twain and Avril Lavignenot get a single play on top 40 radio in the U.S.?
