    The duo's mean, scrappy eighth album is the first to truly embrace their underdog status, wrapping itself in the low-fi, Walkman-ready vibe that has dominated the best of founding members Prodigy's and Havoc's solo work on indie labels.

The instrumental is so grimy and dark which perfectly combines with Prodigy and Havoc's bars. This is one of the only albums that can compete with Illmatic and in my opinion it even surpasses it. Overall perfect album… Full Review »
