"The Madlib collaboration ['Piñata'] is deemed his finest moment, but when Gibbs is flying solo, taking production from different houses, he stands tall as an artist that knows his direction - knows his drill - and can expose that. Throughout his discography, he's proved himself adept at rapping in different arenas while refusing the mainstream draw of selling his vision for cheap. Souls may be sold separately on the trail for gold, but respect is earned, and Freddie Gibbs continues to rack up the points with another stellar entry in an almost-infallible collection of projects".
