Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Carte Blanche
I'm so mad at myself that I only just discovered Phat Kat. Part of that whole J-Dilla movement, Phat Kat has an aggressive flow with lyrics that make you pay attention. The beats are big, I mean huge, and compliments his RZA-like flows. He even has a track dedicated to J-Dilla that is very moving. I'm glad that I finally took notice.
Rating: - Real Detroit sound

Rating:  - The D is where it's at
being from NY, I can honestly say that the D(etroit) is the near being the next NY. Phat Kat brings it hard to the mic with beats from J Dilla, Black Milk, Young RJ, and Nick Speed. A classic Detroit sound that will evoke thoughts of the "Old" New York.
Rating: - Damn near to a Classic!
This is an amazing album. Production is on point of course with Black Milk and Dilla, and "cold steel" is the perfect single for this album. Certainly a must have for any hip-hop fan. I consider this a solid album that could easily be considered classic.
