Just so you all know, this album is sick. Yeah it came out in '04 and he has a new album out this year, but I don't have that new album yet cuz I haven't been able to find it. This dude has always been able to rhyme at will and brings it on this cd with track after track of resume-building, pain-bearing, and hip hop-dedicating rhymes. Q displays his rhyme skills while taking credit for his production skills, citing the two arsonists albums. Oh, that's who made all those dope beats. As if you didn't know. Anyway, with five, three or one member, Q proves he can rock the solo tracks. He bears his soul on tracks like "The Set Up" and "Father's Day", among others. Lyrically tight, sick beats, but some of the hooks are kinda whack chants. This is a hip hop album in it's pure form though. And to think, a Boricua did it. For all you who think that hip hop isn't for Latinos, take a look at who lives in the South and East Bronx where hip hop came from and you'll find out that Q fits right in with the pioneers of the art.
7.5/10
