Quality hip hop from Ottawa, Canada. Clever lyrics and intricately crafted beats makes this album a pleasure to listen to. The lyrical interplay between Bender (who tragically passed away this year) and Patience is skillful and natural.

I first heard these guys when they played Bluesfest a few years back. I purchased the CD off of Bandcamp and they forgot to send it to me. As an apology, they hand delivered it along with the entire back catalog. What a stand up move.

The entire album is worth a listen. Some highlights include the nostalgic walk through Nintendo games to old school hip-hop for 90’s kids in ‘Gold Cartridge to Purple Tapes’ all of the tracks featuring the talented singing of Whitney Delion, the strong opener ‘Walther PPK’ and ‘And They Hid Their Eyes’ and the ode to great writers in ‘Carambola, or Rome Was Built In A Day’. Oh, and also ‘Anti Anthem of the Deadbeat’ is an introspective exploration of the complicated contradictions of human existence. Fuck, I could list almost every track as a highlight.
