I can't lie. The production is solid, but Kero's lyricism just seems sub par on this. Not that he was ever going to win an emcee battle, but rhymes seem somewhat lazy here. I also think a lot of the production on this just doesn't really suit rapping. I think he would almost been better off making this strictly instrumental or just have guest singers only. Not as good as as "Windmills of the Soul". I was disappointed. I can’t lie. The production is solid, but Kero’s lyricism just seems sub par on this.

By far one of the best I've heard all year. I'm with Kevin....I can't stop listening to Keep Pushin and Song for Sabrina is that joint too! I would definitely give this album a higher score but to each its own. Good review! This album is one of the best I’ve heard in a long time. By far one of the best I’ve heard all year.

We used to have a list of our highest rated reviews. There have been some in the 90s. My guys that review albums are tough critics, so 70s are not bad scores. 80s are actually excellent scores, and 90s are more or less reserved for classics. If I would have reviewed this, I would have given it 5 out of 5 stars. It's that good. But that's why I leave the album reviews to the professionals... lol. Deez would have a heartattack if a gave an album a perfect score! My man Deez could better break down the scoring system, since I really don’t write any of the reviews.

I agree totally with the review. It's a solid effort, but something is lacking. It's FEEL GOOD hip hop, but I mean, so was Foreign Exchange's Connect. The difference between the two is evident. Evidently, one went beyond thanks a lot Austin. I agree totally with the review. It’s a solid effort, but something is lacking. It’s FEEL GOOD hip hop, but I mean, so was Foreign Exchange’s Connect.

This album for me has been on constant replay. Not one skipable track. Standouts for me include "Welcome To The Bay", "Keep Pushin" and "This Life Ain't Mine". But the whole album really is great!
