If it is a cut n paste job from the effluvial remnants of P.Sunn's last two albums - at least have the decency and honesty to your loyal fan base. Call it a mixtape of new music, or a street album as a prelude to a full comeback, and us diehards still would have copped it. However, to pass it off as a conceptualised studio album with one producer and every SoM on board, is indeed shitting on your loyal patrons.
It seems P.Sunn took a leaf out of Math's book of taking what was to be a Meth solo album, adding some heavy features on it - and passing it off as a clan album.
Marketing wise I get it, and it is a blessing to get new music from Killa Beez, but at the end of the day it is deception and disrespect to the fan base.
That being said - I have no qualms with the quality of this joint. Beats/Hooks/Lyrics and delivery are all great. This street album is a fluid listen all the way through... It just highlights how superior Sunz are - and how much the world needs their music. Hopefully this is just the beginning. The Rebirth gets me hyped and taunts me with the possibilities - a full Sunz album - helmed by Bronze, with all four members on each joint - and some dope features from Shabazz and Timbo.
