Reviews

    King Of N.Y. is a Top 5 Kool Keith track. Worth owning for this alone.

      To me this is like the sequel to Dr. Octagon. It's in the same style as Dr. Octagon and was recorded at the same time. Automator lays down some fat beats while Kool Keith lays down the fat lyrics along with some help from Neph The Man and Poet. Some stands out tracks are A Better Tomorrow, Sleep, and Buck Buck. Highly recommended for Automator or Kool Keith Fans!
