"Love Never Dies" from Everyday Process sets the quality watermark high from the outset with its hard hitting lyrics and preacher sample, though it's matched by the unique Charlestown vibe of Vizunaris' party cut "Come On. Come All". There are also tracks here from the likes of Rob Hodge, Scottphree Life, Japhia Life and a brace of songs from Intellegentz, all of which were especially recorded with this project in mind. There are a couple of tracks towards the end of the album which drift dangerously into filler territory and an unnecessary additional remix but these are minor gripes on what is otherwise a strong and varied release. Some of the best underground hip-hop to come out of the US for a very long while and with a second volume on the way, the only way is up!
