Apr 26, 2016as a fan of cannibal ox. this isnt like the cold vein in terms of El-P's stellar lo fi production. the production mostly being handled by an unknown producer. his attempts on a few tracks to produce them are eh. the black milk produced track is marvelous. may not be as good their debut but has a few listenable tracks.

Mar 6, 2015i can agree with some of the reviews to the left that while this is an ok sometimes good listen, you are better off listening to the first album, 'the cold vein.'

May 8, 2015Blade of the Ronin is a modest, dignified return for one of underground hip-hop fans’ long lost favorites. It won’t be a memorable record, but for fans who have waited this long for something new, it provides.

May 8, 2015Blade of the Ronin comes shockingly close to the sound and the excitement of their 2001 effort The Cold Vein, and offers the same kind of combination of street knowledge and sweet punch lines, all delivered over rickety yet compelling beats.
