    Though the Random Axe effort is relatively high-profile, these three conjure one another's grimiest gusto.

    Black Milk, Guilty Simpson & Sean Price have that triple threat chemistry a la Jason Terry, Tyson Chandler & Dirk Nowitzki. Any album that makes you want to cop the instrumental version gives it legs and Milk has clearly emerged as one of the top producers in the game.

    If you consider dressing up putting on clean socks, if you know what the streets smell like at four in the morning, if you consider Shook Ones Pt. II the perfect track to kick back to, you'll have Random Axe on repeat for weeks.

    I just feel some little thing is missing, some insignificant morsel that should have no bearing on whether you explore Random Axe's Random Axe or not. By all means, dive in head first with comfort. Enjoy yourselves.

    Nice debut. Black Milk did an awesome job on the production of the album. It sounds like a similarly to an Madlib production album. My favorite rapper of the group is Guilty Simpson. He did a great job. His sound is so unique. I can't wait for this group the do another album.… Expand
