9. Any Bloody Use For It

Im somewhat at a loss as to how to review this album. On one hand its only 9 tracks long, it opens with 2 skits that do nothing to add to the ep, the third track clocks in at under a minute, the fifth and sixth track both clock in at under 2 minutes, track 7 is a 2 minute skit, and finally the album ends with yet another skit....so out of 9 tracks we have 2 full length songs, 3 shorter almost freestyle tracks, and a handful of skits that honestly add very little to the overall experience. But on the other hand it IS a free download, and the tracks Grimm does spit on are jaw dropping, the track 'Everyday' for example finds Grimm spitting better then ive heard him do it in years

Many drown while trying to entertain
they say dont hold ya breath but I hold it like David Blaine

the production is solid as well but again we come to the problem that...there just isnt much of it there. Im going to try to keep this review a bit shorter and simply say this, its hard to be disappointed by a free album, you have literally paid nothing for it and what music is here is amazingly dope, but the filler crammed in here really hurts it...so im torn. Do I give the album a 2/5 based on its weaknesses as an actual ep or do I score it a 3/5 for its strengths as a freebie? Think I may go the cheap way here and simply not score this one, treating it as a mixtape. Still check it out though, def makes me look forward to the projects Grimm has planned for 2010 


Overall - N/A
