    The Evermore journey is an engaging one, but it would have slid into a new age torpor if not for the spate of ugliness near the album’s end.

    c rhymes. Best experienced end to end, Evermore: The Art of Duality is a dense journey worth taking, but one decidedly filled with more questions and ideas than answers.

    Evermore: The Art Of Duality is an album that might overstay its welcome once it’s finished, but it is a project that takes an old concept album idea and breathes new life into it while, concurrently making the talent and the rep of this against-the-grain Beast Coast duo grow bigger with each new release.

    Despite two-thirds of the album taking risks by adding everything from saxophone to opera, the final handful of songs feel like filler. Still, Evermore: The Art Of Duality largely delivers.

The first side is a fantastic, and though the second half isn't quite on the same level, it's still very impressive. I honestly didn't think they had an album this quality in them, and I was happily shocked to enjoy this as much as I did. I'd refer to this as my 4th favorite Hip-Hop album of 2015, which is quite a praise for a duo dropping their commercial debut.… Full Review »

I think they have allot to say and are surprisingly deep even when they are boasting. The only problem with this album is that it's a little too long and by the end I felt like I heard all they had to say for now. The production is also very average with few bright spots. If they had a Dre type budget, from what I heard, they have the flow, substance and electricity to make a lasting hip hop album.… Full Review »
