3.5 greatAlabaster Jones | December 21st 15

Sadistik has made a name for himself in the underground in the past seven years through his intense, intimate lyrics and his penchant for rhyme schemes. Kno, of course, is one of the most well respected producers in the underground, doing the production for famed group Cunninlynguists. As with most collaborations, it's not as good in practice rather than theory, but it's still some solid, entertaining stuff. The contributions from Kno are good as usual, full of beautiful piano and repeated vocalizations. Sadistik is typically chock full of obscure references and personal relations. It's not as personal as, say, Flowers For My Father, but that's the direction he's been going since 2014's Ultraviolet. The guest spots are all on "Unaware", and are all pretty good, but the song sits out like a sore thumb in the albums context despite being a great standalone piece. In all, it's a good collab, especially if you're a fan of these two in general.

0.0 this is the best album that i\\\\\\\'ve (n)ever heard in my entire life. | September 29th 15

the luke warm reception this seems to be getting is extremely warranted

The luke warm reception this seems to be getting is baffling.

3.5 greatJS19 | August 13th 15

Sounds like weird offcuts from both guys' stuff. I mean they're both good and everything so this
is still great, but it could have been so much more. The beats are disappointingly uninspired

3.5 greatPanzerchrist | August 13th 15

An eerily concise, and thematic E.P., strangely punctuated by a posse cut that, while, phenomenal by its own merits, just confuses the track flow. Still, Sadistik is on point, and Kno brings his usual high-standing instrumentals. He even brings a solid set of bars (bizarre, right?). Not essential listening, but excellent nonetheless.
