Similar in style to the West Coast "Smooth The Messenger", Easop incorporates an interesting variety of loops, hooks and beats on a number of tracks on this album. His vocal dexterity shines on through in the title track, a really memorable number, where Easop lays it down on a slickgritty tip. Easop certainly has a handle on the reality of eternity and the effect it has to transform the needs and lives of those in the hood, check out the graphic yet hopeful "Somebody Loves You". Occasionally things get a bit formulaic, but generally a strong if somewhat stark style, plenty of slick, drivin' bass beats and smooth rappin', well worth a listen.
