i'm a bit surprised more people didn't give the new killah priest a listen, tho I was initially just as skeptical as most of you, especially being a double lp.
however it's easily the best wu release in a long ass time and far superior to ghosts and decks latest.
i'd even rank it up there with heavy mental. definitely give it a once over at least.
