(4 out of 5 stars)
"When you combine the talent of NW lyricists, beat jugglin', and a tight production the outcome in this case was fluid. Artists featured on this release are as follows: J-Rocc, Eclipse, Arcee, Jake One, Mr. Supreme, Kutfather, Fourfifiths, DJ Ace, Samson & Swift, Carl Johnson, Third Degree, & Diamond Mercenaries. J-Rocc sets off the rotation with an intro that could make a man with no rhythm feel it, with "Somethin' Funky For Your Walkman". Pay attention to the beat jugglin', mixin', and blendin' when you've got a Beat Junkie @ the wheels. J-Rocc is your host for your ride 'round the turntalbes with some of Conceptions finest. The first lyricist featured on this compilation is Ohio's MC Eclipse. He puts down two tracks, "World Premier" which features the mic veteran Arcee and "My Position" a track which clearly states where he stands. Seattle's own Samson & Swift show how they do it in the cut "Watch Your Words", a straight forward message for those of you who want in on this industry. Mr Supreme lays it down on the joint "Any Last Words" this track features 3D of the Diamond Mercenaries. A versatile artist is every labels dream, Jake One just might be that one for Conception. He showcases live lyrics in "Essay On Pseudo-ism" which also features Arcee."
