This is a great album. This is Hip Hop at its finest!
Its nice to hear good music like this coming out of the West Coast. The future of San Jose and the Bay and is here!
All songs are dope, the album flows from one song to the next and its a good mixture of relevant content, rhymes, dope beats, dope deejays and just straight up EMCEEING!
Cant wait to hear more from Apakalips in the near future!
