Slaine emerges as the premier performer of the post-Guru Boston scene, claiming to have his own distinct identity that goes between aggressive bars e threatening stanzas. The tape comes out a couple of weeks before its highly anticipated debut album, originally scheduled for 2010 and postponed several times. The guests are Ill Bill, Action Bronson, Termanology, Novacaine, Cyrus DeShield, D-Stroy, Kali and Reks. The music is entirely handled by Boston-based producer Statik Selektah, who chooses some of his underground boom bap soundscapes wrapped in soul and jazz samples from the seventies, fresh and strong enough to support Slaine's hardcore rap. The MC chooses to bring in this tape the three tracks produced by Statik for "A World With No Skies" ("American Way", "Night After Night" and "Mistaken Identity"), remarkably reinforcing this mixtape and removing them from version 2.0 of his debut album. This tape features some of Slaine's best songs and is certainly one of the greatest rap projects to come out of Boston over the decade. 7.5/10.
