Very solid album. Some real solid production and solid lyrics. The album has some nice party cuts but it has some nice headphone songs also. Something for everyone on this joint.

Hip hop with no filler. It\'s a concept that\'s been pushed to the wayside in the last decade, completely arresting the ability of many an album to rock a party from front to back. This St. Louis crew has the remedy: an hour-plus CD that grooves deep in the pocket of true school hip hop, keeping things fun while intelligent, party-ready but not hook-obsessed. Forgoing an intro, they jump right into it on \"The Great Escape,\" a razor sharp cut that gets thick with the kick drum and heavy with the horns, exploding in a chorus that injects a bit of soul between the lyrically potent verses. Employing a variety of producers, the tracks mix it up a bit from song to song, but thematically, it\'s all cohesive. Throwing in well-placed scratches and group vocals that increase the urgency on selected refrains, they\'re intent on finding a way to make you move without resorting to the ham-fisted goading that dominates so much generic party rap. Their mission is never futile: cuts like \"Dang\" and \"Get Up!\" bounce with a fervor that\'s guaranteed to spread quickly. It\'s what you\'ve been looking for: no wastes of space, just good-time hip hop delivered courtesy of a wit and candor that\'s a pleasure to get with.
