There's some good conscious hip hop on offer here, albeit without much content that we haven't heard before. The album gets better toward the end with some recognisable soul samples put together by DJ Shakim such as Andrae Crouch Singers 'I Come That You Might Have Life' on 'Shine' that Snoop Dogg also used on 'I Love to Give You Light' from 'R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece'. The lyricist Spectac does his thing, as mentioned mostly spitting some conscious hip hop, with a few songs specifically about the golden age of hip hop such as 'I Miss...', along with 'Can I Kick It?' using A Tribe's famous chorus.
Best Tracks: Moment of Truth, B Sure, Shine, I Was Born
