Tape twin of the homonymous dropped few months before by AG, present here as a guest. Difficult to find, maybe there's still something on bandcamp, but probably the two tapes are united in a single forty-minute "Pianos in the Projects" produced by Ray West, so you must have to separate the tracks of AG from those of Party Arty. The Ghetto Dwellas rapper throws down some bars with his disturbing and rough flow that makes an interesting contrast to the lightness and the beautiful technical cleanliness of Ray West's beats, such as in the first cut, "Red Keys, Black Piano", in my opinion the best here, consisting of a cold and syncopated, light and skeletal drum machine and a splendid elegant piano that opens the tape. AG is also guest of the tape credited as Andre the Giant in "Up on the Ave" over a rhythm crafted by Menocal.
