producers: captain kill a mothafucka, his-panik, protest, richness.

"Yo, don't change yo' shit because you heard my shit / get back in the lab and try to reword shit".

It’s amazing that even when Rasco is not saying much, he sounds good, just saying it. Or if he does say something, then even though he does not put it in a complex pattern, it still sounds nice.

"The same cat that brought you back to the times / when niggas was true and did it all for the rhymes / now it's all changed, these cats think short range / forgetting the art, they do it all for the charts / but is he really smart for doin' the same shit, / that one thousand other motherfuckers came wit'?".

All of these tracks are cool to listen to, but only few will blow you away. One of them is "Dues And Dont’s". Dark and atmospheric layers, have Rasco spit thoughtful rhymes. "Blood Brothers" featuring Planet Asia (together they are the Cali Agents), has one of the most musical and poetic pianos, over which Asia rhymes "you got a beeper, but still you comin' up with lint / so I, starts my mission / leaves my residence with secret evidence of the United States' past president / we all a family, so therefore we must fight because / we from the same blood, the Most High comin' back to claim us".

But that track has been released on the "Sophisticated Mic Pro’s" 12", before. And the a-side track of that 12" has to be the best cut on this EP too, what means that two of the best tracks on here were already previously available. However, His-Panik of the Molemen put a piano together, with shuffling high hats, that is too seldom heard. This is the ish we want.

"Don't use the underground / for tryin' to shield you and that wackass sound".

With the beats being very bouncy and the boom bap all being there, there is not much wrong about the EP. The production mostly handled by Chicago’s His-Panik, the EP sticks to one sound, what gives it a complete feel. But as said: All of these tracks are cool to listen to, but only few will blow you away.

"Peace to the West, I just earned a piece / I told y'all you shouldn't let the dog of the leash / don't bite, especially when you know it ain't right / and don't drop your songs when you know it ain't tight".
