With a name like Draztic I expected more hardcore lyrics and another heaping of the same old crap we get from hip hop all day. I was refreshed to hear good lyrics and some truth about chi-town living. This is a rough city and Draztic artfuly tells it like it is.

I came across Draztic when legedary labelmates, Digital Underground informed me of him. After peeping the snippets of his album, i scooped it up with the quickness. I am one of those Hip-Hop Heads who is sick and tired of saying "Commerical Rap sucks!...remember when..." Draztic is the best new artist i've heard in ages. My personal favs are A Beautiful Thing, The Sky, The Pain Is Gone, The Grown Folks, Without You, The Way I Feel, and I Damage The Mic. There isn't a bad song on this album. Draztic's rhymes and subject matter are down 2 earth and real. His production is classic Hip-Hop. With it's backpacking or for the streets, he does it all well. Even better, his isn't dropping unnecessary cuss-infested rhymes with inappropriate tales. If u love Hip-Hop, u will love this album!
