"I walk into Old School Pizza in downtown Olympia, WA in sometime around May, with my boy Spoonz, and I see Take One standing there with a smile on his face. He hands me and Spoonz a copy of the new EP...and then I start to smirk. It wont be until later that the same smile will grace my face. After a short conversation, I headed back to the crib and popped in the CD. From the first few seconds of the intro, I know this was the dopest EP of the year. Take One and DJ None had hooked up again. The same kids that brought you "Emergency Breaks" have now brought The Shinin'. Not only does this EP feature the cuts and production from 2 of the LA area's dopest DJs, but it features some of the dopest emcees from all over the west coast. Emcees like PM, Dr. Oop, Universal, Vitamin D, Samson S., J-Thorn, and Bedroom Produksionz keep the EP hot from the second it drops. Over incredible beats by None and Take One, this entire crew introduces Drunk Decibel Records to the world in a way that no other crew has presented themselves before. So everyone cop the album, and squint your eyes, cause these heads are about to be Shinin'."
