If the Likwid crew is a family, then Defari is the second cousin. Fortunately, he’s got enough rhyming skills to justify his familial pedigree. And this album does contain some good, though it is a bit derivative. Defari’s straight-ahead multi-syllablic rhymes sound fairly Eminem-influenced, and he’s also picked up a bad Kurupt-like habit of rhyming a word with itself-including rhyming “bitch” with “bitch.” Production is of the thumping variety, mostly courtesy of Evidence and E-Swift, but featuring a Dre-like sound. The disc as a whole is a good listen-solid beats and rhymes all around-but it’s not something that’s gonna stick in your mind for very long.
