Mashup tape made by this collective that decides to mix lyrics and rapping of MF DOOM and production of Nujabes. An easy and immediate winner, but no. What convinces and exalts at the first listening, soon cools down with the following ones and in the end, almost nothing really works that well. It's all strangely lukewarm and generic, mild jazz rap, it might as well do nothing for you. The appearances of Jay Electronica and Czarface as guests fall flat in a quite curious way, perhaps due to beats not completely suited to their style. "Police Myself As Usual" is the highest point of the project, thanks to a fresh and crackling drum, a booming bass line and above all a clear and deep flute, on which the rapper's flow runs very smoothly. "Morning Avalanche" approaches that song, while the rest of the tape doesn't live up to the rosiest expectations. The guys did apparently more consistent work with "MF BLOOM" the previous year, so except for a few remixes featured here, the tape is negligible.
