''before jemini joined forces with producer dangermouse to record ghetto pop life (2003), he was just another up and coming emcee reppin’ homicide central, east new york, planet brooklyn.
recognizing natural talent, the folks at polygram/mercury records were wise enough to add him to their roster in 1995. they even took the step of pressing up a limited number of official-looking vinyl promo copies of his 'scars and pain ep', presumably to generate hype for an imminent long-player release. although this ep boasts a full picture cover and heavy-duty tough work beats by minnesota (''brooklyn kids''), organized konfusion (''funk soul sensation''), and buckwild (''story of my life''), the lp was never-to-be. the project was inexplicably sabotaged and judging by this electrifying introduction to jemini’s wonderfully schizophrenic self-presentation, we are all worse off as a result.
this honest and emotive approach separates jemini’s ep from the pack of poorly executed contrivances present in any era of rap – by the close of this short recording most listeners will recognize the art (and artfulness) of his two-faced excess.'' - ohword.com
