    When all five MCs are locked in give-and-take communion, No Kings explodes with the fiery collaborative energy of five unique voices united in the singular intent of making hip-hop that snarls and soars.

    Overall, this is a pretty interesting effort that is very genre-bending in its approach.

    Distractingly crowded soundscapes throb like an all-night rave, leaving you too exhausted and battered to pay attention to the words, a major deficiency for a hip-hop album.
