What a fantastic concept, when one of the most gifted and creative beat makers in hip hop decides he wants to experiment with funkadelic then you know you're going to have some good music on your hands. Print handles all the production and mc'ing on this one and doesn't miss a step over the funk filled samples he's cooked up. The way he's integrated some of these funkadelic records in these these songs and so effortlessly turned them in to hip hop is simply staggering. While most producers probably wouldnt even know where to begin with sampling some truly funky records, Print makes it look easy, almost like he's been doing it all along...
No complaints about the music at all, the production is flawless and funky, and Print holds down the mic with outstanding vocals, sharp lyrics, and precise flow. the only possible knock against the album is that again...7 tracks is kinda short, thankfully the instrumentals have been added for every track to help fill the album out. Oddly enough hearing the beats without Print over them is almost like hearing a completely new song, its not somthing that grows stale, its beats you actually WANT to sit and listen too, simply put it doesnt at all feel tacked on. Overall the album is fantastic, funky, and flat out good music.
Overall - 4/5
