"If you are a lover of hip-hop, and you appreciate lyrics filled with thought and wit, then this album is for you. I can't say enough about the album. Instead of talking about each track, I'll speak abou the album in general. I purchased it shortly after 50 cent dropped and I have bumped "Happy ef you" ever since. I like all kinds of hip hop, but it is so rare to find emcees who can blend the purest nature of flowing and wordplay with secular hip-hop attitudes filled with braggadocio and heat. The emcees are vicious. They flip words so effortlessly that you will be forced to listen to songs again and again to get all the punchlines. Far from the Neptunes, Just-blaze, Kanya West, Timbaland, etc., the production is simple boom-bap, but still pleasing to the ear. Lyrics take front stage here, a refreshing breathe of air in an era of production driven hip hop. If you can appreciate lyrical prowess, then buy this album, it will greatly augment your collection of 50, rocafella joints, and Nelly."
The album that got me hooked on QN5 Music

"This was the first album I ordered from QN5 Music. Now I'm scurrying to buy every QN5 Music release.
The album title is just... perfect. It's a very fun album.
FYIRB (Remix) is the anthem for emcees or anyone who is sick of horrible music that's flooding the media. Line Drop is a real great experiment of a track (where the flow of the song changes as it goes on -- think Tetris) and Celly is a very well written song about cell phone conversations with bad reception between the four EFAMM members.
The enhanced CD has lyrics, videos of live performances and interviews. I'm glad that QN5 goes through the trouble of including something extra with each release.
My only complaint is that the album is a bit short -- but every track on it is great. Quality over quantity. Now if they would just give us a taste (pause) of the next EFAMM album."

"Hip Hop should be fun! and this CD is one of the most enoyable albums I have ever listened to. From fast paced heart pumping tracks like Velocity, to amzing concept tracks like celly and good combination, this album offers something for anyone looking for a good time. Do yourself a favor, and get this album listen to it, then re-listen. The clever lyrics, and
excelent production of this fine piece of artistry should not be overlooked. I highly recomend this album!!!"

"I can honestly say that HFYS is my favorite cd ever. When I purchased this cd I had no idea who any of these guys were, or who the QN5 label was for that matter, but with one listen through I became an instant fan. Pack FM, Substantial, Session, and Tonedeff come together *Pause* for the perfect cd. This cd could be sold in the comedy genre as well as hip-hop because of skit characters like squigee, ray chippendale, and osama gin laden. Once you pick this cd up you will never be able to put it down."
