The Prime Minister of Canadian Hip-Hop himself sent over his thoughts on the new album the other day… Here’s what he had to say:

dude,
just wanted to say that i finally got a chance to peep ur cd from top to bottom…..song by song , rhyme by rhyme and just wanted to say that musically, lyrically as well as conceptually it’s your best work yet.
normally i just play your stuff from top to bottom and then critique it but this took few more listens especially w da CYOA’s which were really clever…..the rhymes in them alone were sick….from mike boyd bike riding, j-bru and bizzy, white mike and that ghetto child story was crazy too fam

word play was retarded…”parasites and paris sites”
“management and what manage meant”……dope

although ”any body listening’ ain’t a ‘find out’…it still works and is your most commercial single today…hopefully it gets some good airplay.

kim boyd’s verse with the licrice looks delicious….stupid !!!!!!

and all the collabs were dope…i loved decisive’s verse on ‘loonie’ good concept over all

up all nite is dope….love the bridge

and i already told u i liked inspiration, oh canada,self explanatory and still got it…
the song order was dope too…..

and the cuts were retarded props to dj iv

and ofcourse…..’quit while your a head ‘was dope too….i kinda slept on that….i think my verse had a lot of style in it and u murdered it with the mathematics….

choclair set it off my letting the pin out the bomb and moka dismantled it with his 36 albums…..” ubi’quit’ous ” is the word of the year !!!!!!
a classic hip hop album !!!!

respect
