many respects go out to MOD, my BDZ crew, 7th Grandmantis, and JonnyNewBrand for being a part of the album. more props to 7th again for doing the mastering of this piece, and laying down the cuts. mega props
to JonnyNewBrand for the artwork (shit is of the chain son!).

imma take this time to thank MOD personally for allwoing me to rock his instrumentals, and having the confidence that i would rock em properly and do justice.

also, lets pause and give thanks to those who inspire creativity and excellence in us. for me, i gotta give a shout out to my Wisdom, my brothers Menes (i see you kid), young blood Jeffar, the Archangel (when the time is right, when the time is right), Jigsaw and Skampoe (down since day one), 7th the Grand fuckin Mantis (yall dont know, but dude keeps me on point), Merchant of Death (keep the tradition alive fam, see you in the Grand Lodge), Plex Realmz, Clymax, Maximus, and every other muthafucka i gets down with.

peace Poison, good to see you coming around. enjoy the album

respect n honour

art is magnifico, best ive seen in many Luna naps

your delivery/presence is supreme and has improved eleven fold

not much to say about the beats, MOD always delivers

my favoritezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz???????>>>>>>>>>>

MARK OF THE WOLF

perfect track title
instrumental is emotional serial killer autopsy, LOVE IT

"it takes a village to raise the children!"

just mad atmosphere

DWELLAZ MOVE SUPERIOR

my favorite track

"riot squad committee cant deny me, move past barriers
going airborne, i'm an aircraft carrier
hoverin' like harriers, ???????
VLAD THE IMPALER... tombstone scaler"

love this beat, Menes enters track like thirsty river demon, the most hostile verse I ahve ever heard from him

"we break necks, and play chess with the dead men
dark ship captain, only break bread with his brethren!" <<< what a start

PITCH BLACK

the samples are COLD WAR GRITTY
drums are crunchy!

this track reminds me of the Nightmare Before Christmas realm merging with the Max Payne universe

IT JUST DOES

"what's the point of evil? conundrum
lovin' life but fuck all these people
jack of all trades... masters of none
hand fulls of fatherless sons"

"shadow box with Goliath
speakin parables of science
holy voice of the tyrants
front line firin'.. not givin' 2 fucks who dyin!"

MORE MAD ATMOSPHERE

I also enjoyed DEPTHS OF ONWARDS VERY MUCH SO, CHEMICALLY BASED

this project is incredibly cohesive, perhaps a little too cohesive.. I would have enjoyed some more variation all around, but overall this is the best MCing i have heard from you, and ill beats by MOD

GREAT SOLO DEBUT, DWELLAZ MOVE SUPERIORRRRRR

peace Poison, thanks for the feedback. appreciate it

i agree myself, i feel like i coulda used a few more tracks that varied in tone. but saying that making the album was a very anger fuelled process. i was in a deep and dark mindstate and had to get it out there. Comatose being a track that has more personal overtones. im pretty much the only one who knows what the first verse is about but im sure many can relate.

respect n honour. thanks again for the breakdown

Yo son I think i got a hard on for ya music

i slap myself silly every night wishing i was as dope as your crew of emcees. how does one become so great at the art that he transcends human thought patterns. can you teach me? and the rest of the rap world?

no, i will not teach you. you flaming fuck

stay outta my threads

^Fuck you, i wish to learn your secrets. i will stand at the bodega and recite your rhymes that a crazed minister recites bible passages. you wont see me, cause when you walk by i shall cower from your omnipotence.

all praise be to Mason

yo wut up i downloaded this early & skamps latest too but haven't had time to really listen to either joint to give a proper critique but I'm gonna get to it just been busy MY seed is bout to drop any day now just been working & trying to get shit in order for the new edition nah mean... peace tho i love to see niggas progressing & moving forwards with shit i will get back @ you tho peace

this shit is NICE i enjoyed listening to this..... fucken bronze feet
my favorite is 03 dope, 09 solid

04 was ill

production is fire....beates is hard... dope beat selections

lyrics are there the only thing is your on & off a lot, sounds like you wrote some of these rhymes with out the beat & then laced it to the beat instead of writing to the beat

at certain points your tiring to force to much into a bar & it doesn't fit & throws the flow off, some times you got to drop a word or two or even reword it or even strech it out between 2 bars with out compromising the rhyme scheme or flow

also on a couple of joint you come out the gate hard like you suppose to then it dies down half way through, i think its cause you have mad lyrics your trying to get off & you dont got it completely down pat , however you want to keep the same consistency & flow through out the whole track

you say some shit nigga you got lyrics spit them shits with more conviction more confidence more feeling & emotion make me believe you nigga nah mean you did on most joints & it shows most on tracks 3 & 9 but it goes back to keeping consistency all the way threw

dope shit tho props MOD did his thing & as well as THE MASON
for your first go around this is off the heaterz dope accomplishment you surrounded by a strong camp cant wait to hear future endevours

peace Sinista

thanks for taking the time to check it out.

respect n honour

Played this through a few times. I feelin the way the styles blend, MOD got mad styles on the boards its really amazing when I think about it. Lyricism is on point.

Finally got a chance to listen & dl this joint. Bar Surgeon is by far the illest display of lyrical wizardry Ive heard in a min & that beat is jus nasty son! The whole album is solid, MOD & Bronze Feet came thru with different types of elements for the listeners ears to keep em satisfied. Peace for blessin us.

many respects fellas

appreciate the views and listens. its all keeps me inspired and motivated.

thanks for the comment on Bar Surgeon, def was one of my favourite recordings i have done

bumpin for more views and listens

uppin for for final views and listens of the year
