After several more or less disappointing attempts over the past eight years, Fredro Starr and Sticky Fingaz, the last two diehard rappers of the Queens hip-hop group Onyx, they somehow manage to find that sound they were looking for, the one that brings them back to the past, to the beginnings, precisely to 1993. The disc is entirely produced by the Ukrainian Stasevich, and consists of 13 short tracks for half an hour of listening. The two MCs deliver bars screaming for much of the time as in their best years and still have the strength and energy to carry the tracks down, stopping all tracks at around two minutes and no more. Stasevich creates a set of rhythms that would be the envy of those on Def Jam albums of the eighties, which consist mostly of skeletal drums, and the beats sound similar for half an hour. It's a welcome tribute to the group's past and would look good as a follow-up to "Bacdafucup". 6.5/10.
