"Yeh without a doubt this is a great consistent album from BX's own, Access Immortal. I first heard of him offa Oktober's "madvandal" and when I heard he had a debut on the way, I had to check it out. The main thing i was suprised with about this album is how many great guests Access Immortal managed to get for the album : Wordsworth,7L,Insight,Oktober,Velocity,Smiley Da Ghetto Child, J Zone & others!! Despite this, AI seems to hold his own on this album throughtout, determined not to get outshined by some of hiphop's underground heavyweights. However saying that, the best thing about "Shades of reality" is definitely the beats courtesy of Vanderslice,7L,JZone,Green Steez,Insight & Sesion 31. In this respect, the album is flawless. Peep this album to find some nice post 2000 hiphop that shows that hiphop is still innovative & refreshing. Peep it.
