Plenty of diversity here from the Indiana-based rapper, there's an old school party celebration "Can't Get Enough", a sample of steel drums and Greek rhythms (I lie not!) on "Showbiz" and plenty of phat grooves. Best cut for me is "The Game Is Shut Down" where Fiti is joined by Breeveazle on a withering put down of the music industry (a theme returned to on "Showbiz"), "People" with Truth about the diversity of humanity (though it does rather run out of steam half way through) and "Promised Land" which despite something chaotic in the sung hook has some intriguing variations of rapping styles as Da Filled and Pettidee make with the rhymes. There are some clever production touches, with some tasty scratching from DJ Type. Fiti's uncompromising passion comes through loud and clear.
