  1. The record bursts with energy and purpose, revealing the brilliance that advocates like the Roots' ?uestlove have long suspected 9th had in him.
  2. 60
    With the first release, Chemistry, you would think some experimentalism was going on--but it isn't. That's not necessarily a bad quality, but the lack of daring pushes this release into the mediocre pile.
  3. 60
    Much of [Buckshot's] edge is lost but fans of hip hop's yellowing indie template will find much to enjoy nonetheless. [Sep 2008, p.90]
