    This EP has great production coming from Josh Carter, of Phantogram's, and Skrillex, in the finale track. Also the second member of Phantogram's, Sarah Barthel came with great vocals and used many good metaphors in her choruses and short verses through out the EP. But most of her choruses were repeated and dragged until the end of many of the tracks. Big Boi did an average job overall.

But most of her choruses were repeated and dragged until the end of many of the tracks. Big Boi did an average job overall. I thought he did a good job flowing on Josh Carters electronic style beats. But his lyrics were not up to par in my opinion. I just don't think theses guys were a good collaboration. Also most tracks failed to maintain a concept. Overall this is an average project. 5/10… Expand

    It isn't a flawless EP, but it works more often than it doesn't and is proof that there isn't that much difference between genres as we sometimes pretend there is.

    Occasionally the songs jump and jitter without really settling into a groove, as in the uncertain "Put It on Her." But when the dynamic production of Skrillex closes out the project with the irresistible "Drum Machine," after a great appearance by Run the Jewels on the previous track, it's hard not to crave a full album from Big Grams.

    There’s no creative expansion, just two acts trying to exist in their own worlds simultaneously instead of finding a new and interesting middle ground. Mixing classic Big Boi verses over old Phantogram songs would’ve probably been just as effective.
