Critical reception edit

Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club wrote: "Melvin Flynt's formula proves promising and frustrating in equal measures, as Noreaga's engagingly demented flow struggles to compensate for the tiresome subject matter".[3] Soren Baker of Chicago Tribune wrote that "Noreaga tackles familiar topics—inferior rappers, corrupt police—yet his signature off-pace delivery and the lethal beats backing him more than compensate for his typical lyrical fare".[4]
