“The real power of Let..s Get Free, however, comes in the moments when Stic.man and M-1 unleash their fury on the system. ..Police State,.. ..Behind Enemy Lines,.. ....They.. Schools,.. and ..We Want Freedom.. are pushed along by fluid, molten lines bursting with insight, rage and bravado. Throughout, the mix of samples, beats, and live instruments (particularly Bernard Grobman..s guitar) pumps grooves and noise that foster delirious agitation. A fire bomb for the new hip-hop uprising. “ ~ Sandy Carter ZNET
