"This project is pretty much standard material. I certainly don't dislike the album, but I wasn't enamored with it either. The bulk of the production didn't really hook my ear and I found myself skipping through the material. However, the opener "Voicestress" with Truth Enola and De La Soul is an excellent cut. The beat gallops along nicely and De La's lyrical contribution ups the value of the track immensly. Mos Def and Talib Kweli come through on "Another World", an ultramagnetic track that lives up to its title. "Tooly Crew Personified" with Pharoah Monch flexing his slanguistics and "Shyste" featuring J-Live over a choppy guitar loop are the only other two memorable cuts on this compilation. The rest is, well, the rest."
