"If you haven't heard of him, you will soon! Chops comes with virtually SAMPLE-FREE producing unique to the game. There are other producers out there that come to the table with their own beats, however when you listen to Chops, you instantly hear how much more his beats musically elevate over the rest of the masses-NO JOKE. The Butcher is not weak at all. He's getting mad respect in the underground game and it's only a matter of time before he rises to DR Premier/Swizz Beats-like notoriety.This album was produced with a breath of fresh air. Hot beats, hot underground hip-hop acts, and a splash of some platinum lyricists. All in all, YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED! This is one of the best hip hop albums in the past year."

"I'm sure Chops has the sticker on the front of the album with the qoute from DJ Premier just so we know Preemo approves- otherwise I'd just think he was a second rate preemo ripoff. As it stands, this is a very solid album, and I particularly like the interludes. No skits is a plus too. I was looking forward to "Comin from the Lower level" and it doesn't disappoint- Kweli steals the show. I don't usually care for Bahamadia but "B-girl session" is probably my second favorite song. Overall I am pleased with the purchase and look forward to hearing more from Chops. Pardon me for being ignorant though, but who is he? I had not heard of him until I saw this release coming out and saw that Planet Asia, Raekwon, Kweli, Rass Kass and others would be on it. I bought it based on that, but I have little knowledge of exactly who Chops is."

This album is off the hook

"I bought this album after I heard the song with Raekwon on the radio. The album is off the hook. It's one of the best rap albums I have bought in YEARS. Chops is one of the sickest prodcuers out there and Raekwon, Kanye West, Talib Kweli and Phil the Agony all came with their A GAME. I think Virtuosity is the best album this year and Chops is now my favortie producer. The RZA is right, "Chops is one of the illest up and coming producers in the game"!!!"
