up 103: first born [2001]

''this is real hip-hop. i purchased 'first born' after hearing the genius of their 2004 release 'e&a'. i respect this duo even more after hearing the diversity between the two albums. it is simply amazing.

eyedea is one of the most outspoken egotistical b-boys i have ever heard; and at 22 years of age, he has accomplished a lot. mowing down mc's at nearly ever dj battle he has competed in. he definitely has the skills to back up what he's preaching.

abilities compliments eyedea perfectly, with his landscapes of unique rhythms and sounds. battling is also one of abilities strong points. this duo is untouchable when you realize that all this explosive sound is made from just two techs and a mic. these guys are full of potential and i am already betting that their next album will be a masterpiece along with their others.'' - alan pounds
