Dec 7, 2011When 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.
-
Feb 3, 2012Overall, this is a pretty interesting effort that is very genre-bending in its approach.
-
Dec 7, 2011No Kings, the second time Doomtree has stepped out for an all-crew release, is a triumph of musicianship.
-
Dec 2, 2011The dense weight of verbiage on No Kings actually welcomes uninitiated listeners, rather than siphoning them out for not being advanced enough on some impenetrable ultra-battler s***.
-
Dec 7, 2011The songs justify further replay and analysis just because the group knows how to deliver consistently smart, compelling imagery.
-
Jan 10, 2012The rhymes sound unified here, the front strong, while the beats hit with a confrontational charge.
-
Dec 8, 2011Distractingly 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.
