    There isn’t a single moment on this album that doesn’t pull me in or have me aggressively head-bumping. It has some amazing production that the two charismatic members glide over with grace and style. Songs like Proud of U, Top Down, UP, and Bank get me insanely pumped up. The features provide great verses.Songs like Swivel and This Side tell stories of their upbringing, with Johnny VenusThere isn’t a single moment on this album that doesn’t pull me in or have me aggressively head-bumping.

Overall, this album is fantastic and one of the best of 2019. This proves that Earthgang has a place in this crazy place we call the rap game. Expand

    Earthgang have one foot in the now, the other turned toward the horizon and an uncertain future. [Dec 2019, p.60]

    Rappers Johnny Venus and Doctur Dot break up their unhinged, nasal flows with moments of jubilant soul harmonies ("Top Down"), bounding upbeat acid jazz instrumentation ("Blue Moon"), darkly experimental beats ("Avenue"), and different approaches and coloring on almost every track.

    As tracks like the apt Andre Harris produced finale “Wings” show, EarthGang can fly on their own without any comparisons. They are as much R&B as hip-hop and for them it’s an ideal match.
