Press Reviews MANHUNT.COM: "...An insightful journey into the minds of men who have too much to say in a medium stereotyped as being void of substance. The tracks are tight, the lyrics are tighter, and the combination is nice... Nickels is a more than capable sound provider and the two lyricists sound like they took years to write the verses... It becomes very obvious early on that the crew is more spiritual-minded than criminal-minded as they weave through topics such as brainwashing, underground movements, God’s tolerance of ignorance (or lack thereof), and the vacuum of ethics in the music industry. They cry out for the listener to actually LISTEN to the music they’re listening to." ||| AUDIOGALAXY.COM: "Hip-hoppin', non-stoppin' street beats that meet today's standards of true hip-hop rhyming and beat structure. Full of intelligent metaphors and sweet to the spine samples."

Additional Info We are firm believers that Jesus Christ IS, WAS, and ALWAYS WILL BE the only way by which we can attain eternal life; that His salvation is a free gift given by the grace of Almighty God, and that upon receiving it we become His children and must live accordingly. Shouts out to our families, our friends, and our churches. God is love. R.I.P. Reuben AP. Peace to MG! the Visionary, Oldominion, Glory, Ace Dynasty, manCHILD (of Mars ILL).
