KRS-One is back at the controls and appears uninterested in changing the stark production formula he employed for Kool & Deadly. Of more interest is Just-Ice's rhymes, which have taken on a more detailed and darker worldview -- on "Welfare Recipient" he delivers savage ghetto prose of a kind perhaps only the Geto Boys and Ghostface Killah have matched.
