Thru is a classic of its kind.

"Thavius Beck's amalgam of scattered electronics and bangin' indie hip-hop beats walk the line. Where many indifferently tread the electro/hip-hop border, Beck's DIY, self-produced stab at the continually diluted fusion is performed with an unmistakably distinct style. The attention to creating the perfect synth sounds to compliment static laden, self-made samples over round basslines pays off highly for the discerning listener. Thru has a character you can't simulate by just picking presets out of a catalogue. Guest vocal appearances from Saul Williams, 2mex, the beautiful Mia Doi Todd, and a particularly moving Nocando recollection of his father's last days compliment the spirited and emotional pallet delivered by Beck's compositions. Thru is a classic of its kind."
