The opener, “Believing In”, is a soulful banger that nobody with ears and rhythm could possibly sit still through. And from there on out the tracks are raw and unapologetic and yet socially conscious and intelligent. JSmoove & Jae Mottie took no prisoners on this one. Backed by ingenious and hard hitting beats, the two deliver high energy rhymes with a furious tenacity that hasn’t been seen in rap for quite some time. These two highly talented artists came together and cooked up a masterpiece.

So much music comes out each year it is easy to sleep on most of it. Rarely can you feel like you are learning and having fun at the same time than on here. You want slow, we have slower paced. Need something fast? N.E.S. has got that too. Moreover this album says something. It’s firmly rooted in the reality of living. This contrast from the domination of superficial narcissism and complete fantasy that dominates popular culture is enough to make this album stand out, but the combination of intelligent social commentary and spectacular technical execution elevates this work to the heights of creative achievement.
