"I had no idea who lmno was till' i heard him make an appearance on playdough's(of ill harmonics)solo cd on a song called,"Shadow Dance." I wasn't too impressed. Then I hear some of the tracks on LMNO's own cd and I'm like,"Dang... That's tight." I heard "Radiant" and "Always." Man... I wanna' hear him do a collaboration with Manchild of Mars Ill. This was just too cool, a lot better than I woulda' expected. The beats are just... tight."
Leave My Name Out, cuz it ain't about me.

"A few things to be said... LMNO, of the Blak Forest, and Visionaries crew, is not for the weak of mind, and if you've kept up with his work, you already heard the best. I personally believe that the new tracks that were added to make this album are nothing to special, but if you havent already heard his first singles, I will suggest this cd. just make sure your ready for it. peace."
Get out if your bored..

"Lets Meet Negative's Opposite or LMNO, best known for his work with the Visionaries crew has dropped a splendid offering that is going to be tough to digest for the spiritually deprived.His lyrics are soaked in truth and the confidence in his delivery is unmistakable.Beats are courtesy of Rob the Viking, Nucleus,Ev and a couple of other cats,heavy on the piano loops,nothing spectacular but certainly adequate.The lyrics are what define Lmno,and draw heavily on Spiritual warfare, eternal salvation,and what really makes a woman beautiful(check 'Natural Beauty'.)The fact that someone could listen to this album and say the content is "boring" or "goes nowhere" is both scary and sad,but illuminates perfectly the mindstate of this nation. Oh well,one day soon it'll all make sense. peace till then"
How do ya spell L-M-N-O?

"The shining star of the always ill Visionaries crew, LMNO, finally steps out in his VERY long awaited solo LP. I've yet to hear LMNO lend his voice to anything truly wack and the trend continues here. With help from people like Evidence, the Beat Junkies, and even the Visionaries would you expect anything less? Don't walk into this one thinking to hear a stream of nonsense about hoes and guns. LMNO's positive style doesn't grate on you like Talib Kweli or Common's. He still battles with the best of them and continues to rap over some serious head noddin' tracks(unlike the previously mentioned duo). Run out and get this one today."
