It Can Only Get Better...I Hope!

"This album for the most part will never go down as one of hiphop's greatest but it will definately turn heads. For me it offers a great escape from the current era of so called hiphop. Tariq's beats are different, interesting, addicting, colorful, the list could go on and on. The lyrics also fall into the above catergories. If you truly love hiphop then check this album out, not cuz I said so but because it's so tight and deserves hella recognition."

Hip-Hop For The World

"With all of the "bling bling", and the flamboyant images in Hip-Hop today, it is refreshing, and inspirational to find a group whose music goes beyond the current materialistic lyrics. Not bound by regions,The Hemisphere is able to capture the essence of many different musical cultures. In a melodic and raw Hip-Hop form, their beats and rhymes set your soul into automatic re-birth while it heals you with the Carribbean, soul, funk, and jazz sounds. I hear Bob Marley. I hear Rakim. I hear Miles Davis. With cuts like "Consciousness", "Lioness", and "Run Away", they are the materialization of many different backgrounds, and styles all carefully rolled into one. There is something for everyone on this album. The Hemisphere is Universal Hip-Hop. They are Hip-Hop Soul."
