Now don't get it twisted. This is not Shaolin. This is Staten Island. You can't get it twisted though, cause as soon as the beats sets in, you know that you are in for some ol' hard ish. This is just like they always write in The Source: "put your best song first". We will add to this "and your second best one last". Anomos rides apocalyptic horns a hard and thumping bass, and he spits some straight forward battling, bragging and boasting rhymes, asking "who wants to test me and correct me"? No one really. At least not after hearing this track. This plainly rocks, it's hard it's not hesitant. "Say It Loud" is dope.

The first two seconds of the next cut sound like some Heavy D "Now That We've Found Love" track. But that's only this one sound sample that mingles in there somewhere, that's confusing the hell outta this reviewer. However, "Playing No Games" is more tamed down, than the one before, it's still hard, and the combination of the different layers, echo levels, is quite unusual. This time around Anomos has Stealth join, but they don't abandon the "I'm better than you" issues, while still kicking some knowledgeable rhymes too, with thought patterns, and quotables "half of these cats don't even know reality / all they know is the Bricks / while I study the galaxy".

"Hold Up" is again somewhat restrained and when Stealth switches into some reggae / dance hall studder step, we are tempted to push the fast forward button. However, that torture ends after a few seconds, and we can check out the track again. And this West Brighton, Staten Island resident opted for a strangely combined beat. This seems to be an amalgam of several options, neither going any route completely. And while this could be criticized to not wanting to commit, it's actually just a mixture resulting in something different. Lyrically he also intends to stomp his name in your brain, doing a little more threatening rhymes than Anomos, rhyming "I kill youse with syllables, I petty the fools".

Last track on this short EP is "Bombing Of 2G". And as said, it's the second winner on this here. Oddly enough, it also features a live show sample. Completed with cinematic effects, all kinds of explosions and other destructing noises, classical strings, that go beyond of accompanying background layers, give the album a hectic intensity. Everything fits perfectly on this apocalyptic track, and we know now why one of them guys is called Stealth Bomber. He and Anomos trade rhymes, and have their lyrical army of manifestation words pave ways through this end time scenario.

The good thing about this four track offering is, that you can hear the distinctive character of the two emcees, and also their special choice of beats. So you are not mad at them about anything. You maybe will not hail them onto some throne though too.
