So the dream of being a musician, and making money at it, goes something like this. Make a couple shitty sounding albums, maybe hit the lottery third time out and make something that more than your friends want to listen to. Pianki defies description, everything he does sounds utterly perfect. Recorded at home this album is what a lot of people spending buckets of cash try to produce. He has disappeared, life sometimes catches up with you, maybe he ended on a high note. I hope he isn't bumming.

Organic and full of life. The album that made me realize that the boom bap isn't just for the boogie down Bronx. Is it too much to say that this album saved dance hall for me?

I dare you to find another album that you can listen to all day. Just take your time on the commute home. People will thank you.

In this era of complicated production and studio tricks it is nice to hear an album that is beautiful songs expressed through warm guitar and golden voice. That house show you saw when you were 20 and made you believe in the power of music

MIke Carroll and the whole EMB crew. If you were a skateboarding dirt bag, drinking Schlitz and burning trees, stuck in a garage doing kickflips, dreaming of SF and ledges for days

To be honest, it is so rare that golden era emcee's are given a worthy canvas to paint on. The fact that Casual and Sadat X can bring it like it hasn't been brought before. Solid head snap production and a taste of the future of young rhyme sayers.

Songwriting that is so perfect it makes you believe that it is your inner monologue. With headphones you could be in a great indie romance. Candles, a song about old men and young girls. It is like fishing with dynamite
