JaGoFF REVIEWS:
----------------------------------------
**** (4 STARS). "Dark and funky, this album is a little bit Prince, Roy Davis Jr and a little bit Disco D. Dancable and free, each song gets the ass shakin' a little bit more. The project is so sexy that if you haven't gotten any by the closing song, "Baby FaTT", you need a new face."
URB Magazine, 7/2005
"Impossibly deep funk bass lines, crazy-eyed crew sing-alongs and a gritty bent put the Chi-town squad in post-Parliament territory. But this isn't just the orthodox funk of George Clinton's famed outfit. Between its rich harmonies and lyrical edge, is everything from gospel to rap."
"Editor's Pick" - CNET/Download.com - 12/2006

Anything that makes your ass twitch and your unmentionables moist.
