up 112: 93 'til infinity [1993]

''wow, what can be said about this album other than that it is f***ing raw. tajai, a-plus, opio, and phesto d all rip it on every track. the chemistry they have seamless.

add ontop of that domino, del, jay biz, and a-plus lacing the souls with some of the most lovely beats that they have dropped in thier respective careers, and you have one fine piece of hip hop. not one weak track at all, and the spirited, in your face style of the souls makes for great listening anytime. this is a boom-bap classic and one of the best albums from the hieroglyphics cliq.'' - biolantex
