What could stop Killah Priest's incredible enlightening rush? The most logical answer would be "nothing, he's unstoppable" and he comes from a two-year period that saw him putting on the table one quality project after another in rapid succession, however, an unusual answer that is equally correct is found with "that collaboration expected by fans (?) for a decade with The Holocaust aka Warcloud". This record interrupts the run of the Sunz of Man's MC and puts us back down to earth.
Twelve tracks, a production that is mostly done by Skarekrow (which means that the rhythms are probably archival and a bit dated: maybe I'm wrong, but 2000-2006? They sound a bit like they came straight from those years), Prime Music, Excalibur, Bronze Nazareth and The RZA. Guests are all Wu-Tang affiliates, such as American Poets 2099 (Pro The Leader, Nova Kane, Bootface), HRSMN, Killarmy (Dom Pachino, Kinetic 9, Shogun Assason), Irie-1, Masta of Ceremoniez, Thea Van Seijen, School of the Gifted (Solomon Childs, Shaka Amazulu the 7th), Black Knights (Doc Doom, Crisis Tha Sharpshooter, Rugged Monk) and Gravediggaz (Frukwan, Shabazz The Disciple; Shabazz is credited as part of the Gravediggaz).
Despite the presence of some proven talented performers, the album is easily bad, the production sounds bloody weak and Killah Priest can't work miracles, not this time, at least. 4/10.
