Mark on the beats and Bembe` on the vocals...what more can you ask for?"

OKAYPLAYER.COM "Magnificently funky fresh synth-heavy vintage soul from the future. You dig?" ONE WEEK TO LIVE The Politik - download the album preview mixtape"Ka-ching, ka-ching... The Politik are worth every penny of your hard-earned currency. This is the kind of musical collaboration one can hope for, and its delivery is right on the money. MdCL and Bembe are an unstoppable force to be reckoned with." - XLR8R Magazine"Banging on every level, if the intro hook dont get ya,the rest will.
