4.0 out of 5 stars The master finally arrives!!! August 16, 2009

By M. Hassan

Format:Audio CD

This is something that I have been waiting on for a loooong time!! Chali was always the prime reason that I enjoyed Jurassic 5 so much and he doesn't disappoint on his second release, this kid is amazing. The rhymes are real tight and so is the level of musicianship. The only reason that I didn't give this 5 stars is because of the cut with Beanie Man (who I can't stand) which was pretty tired (because of Beanie not Chali), and because on the cut with Stephen and Damien Marley...this cut would have been killa if Damien had toasted on it but him and Steve just sing all the way through which was kind of disappointing. Other than that this is a rock solid cd and a great alternative to the violence, sex, pimpin', dealin', druggin', and partying on most of the rap that is out right now. BUY THIS!!!!!...you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Modern Day Classic December 4, 2009

Those who know recognize those who don't improvise. This is a well construct hiphop classic from CHali...As the radio announcer stated ... has a very nice voice and an equally nice flow and lyrical delivery. The words just roll off his tongue. The music is very dancable and one song leads right into another. An all star list of collaboraters..... Talib, newcomer Chokolate. It truly acknowledges the fact that there are still gems being produced.

4.0 out of 5 stars More Hip Hop Please!! October 8, 2009

I am so glad that artists like 2na have record deals. Rappers today have screwed up the music so bad that people are starting to call real hip hop "alternative rap". As far as the album goes, I've always liked Chali 2na and the rest of J5, and he has proven to be a more versatile lyricist than I expected on this album. It's so hip hop. If ur brainwashed into lovin today's rap, then you don't want this album. This one is definitely in heavy rotation for me
