Reviews & Discussion
One of the earliest Rhymesayers releases and an impressive underground debut that's both minimal and intense at the same time. Ant keeps the beats relatively simple which allows for a greater focus on Beyond's impressive lyricism and extremely aggressive delivery. For me it draws a lot of similarities to Atmosphere's "Overcast!" which came out shortly after this album did. "Flesh Against Concrete" is my personal favorite track here, but interestingly, "Invisible Villains" would probably have taken its place if the song hadn't been pointlessly divided into three interlude-length parts.
