'Like such distinct voices as Truthmaze, Toki Wright and Desdamona, Junkyard Empire proves you can entertain without resorting to the lowest denominator. There's none of the knuckle-dragging, bitch-git-yo'-drawers-off-'cause-Um-da-baddest-motherfucker-in-history bullshit that has given the genre a richly deserved bad name. Instead, you have lyrics it actually took an IQ to come up with: thoughtful, impassioned, enlightening verse that rocks the mic and your mind at the same time.'~ http://www.pulsetc.com/article.php?sid=2885 'Junkyard Empire may well be the most adventurous Hip-Hop outfit in either town, blending the genre into a seamless mix with avant-garde jazz that just won't quit. In fact, Reclaim Freedom couldn't be a more natural successor to the likes of The Last Poets themselves. The words are tightly woven into each cut's rhythm and the music is every bit as serious as the message.
