Damn near to a Classic!

"This is an amazing album. Production is on point of course with Black Milk and Dilla, and "cold steel" is the perfect single for this album. Certainly a must have for any hip-hop fan. I consider this a solid album that could easily be considered classic."
The D is where it's at

"being from NY, I can honestly say that the D(etroit) is the near being the next NY. Phat Kat brings it hard to the mic with beats from J Dilla, Black Milk, Young RJ, and Nick Speed. A classic Detroit sound that will evoke thoughts of the "Old" New York."
Real Detroit sound

"In some of the songs on this album, Detroit rapper Phat Kat laments that it took the death of legendary producer J Dilla for radio stations to actually play any of his music. As crass as that may sound, he's got a point: Hip-hop radio has completely slept on any Detroit artists that aren't Eminem or in Eminem's camp.
Phat Kat, for instance, has been around for quite a while and, with this masterfully assembled album, is finally getting some due outside the 313. Basically, if you like hard-hitting beats and grimy lyrics you should like this album and you should check out other Detroit luminaries such as Black Milk and Guilty Simpson. And, of course, J Dilla."
