Prof & St. Paul Slim teamed up with Stophouse Music to make an album they actually provided as a freebie to anyone who downloaded it when it was available on the internet. Prof & St Paul Slim are both Minneapolis emcees and have been on the local grind for years. The opportunity to team up and come with a banging album was a great idea, and it worked.
This album is good enough to purchase for the full cost. However, don't let the titled artists confuse you, St. Paul Slim & Prof are not on every song, in fact they are on separate tracks more often than together. That does not, however, hurt the way the album will be perceived.
Almost every song on this album is worth a listen, and you will be pleasantly surprised at how good this album is. Picking a best song on this album would be extremely tough because I truly feel that there are several great tracks - and no they aren't paying me to say this. The album has features from P.O.S., Yelawolf, Slug of Atmosphere & Zachariah. It is executively produced by ANT of Atmosphere (Yes Ant! Who also produced a song on the album)
Overall, I would say I enjoy listening to 10 out of 13 of the actual songs and majority of them I love. The first five songs (Everybody Down, Horses In The Ghetto, Fire, My Heart Remix, and Broadcasting (featuring POS) are just incredible back to back.
The Rocketman remix is a solid remix with a guy named Yelawolf. Typically I wouldn't like a guy who sounds like Yelawolf but he actually has a dope flow and rides the beat well. A Mouth From Now has a catchy hook and Superstyle has a unique beat and Prof's voice fluctuations are crazy.
St. Paul Slim's Kelly Kapouski is a terrific beat laced with additional vocals from New MC & Slug. When listening to an album from artists you don't know a whole lot about you never know what to expect, and when they blow your expectations out of the water it makes it that much sweeter.
Best Song: Fire by Prof
Best Line: "If I wanted to have sex with someone that I loved, yeah I'd probably jack off." - St. Paul Slim My Heart (Remix)
Rating: 8.4/10
