"The shit is BANGING!" - Dwele
"... the Politik is my shit. Mark on the beats and Bembe on the vocals...what more can u ask for?" - Blu
"Ka-ching, ka-ching... The Politik are worth every penny of your hard-earned currency. This is the kind of musical collaboration one can hope for, and its delivery is right on the money. MdCL and Bembe are an unstoppable force to be reckoned with." - XLR8R Magazine
"Banging on every level, if the intro hook dont get ya,the rest will. This partnership is worth every penny, time to get your money out and support this shit" - Phil Asher (restless soul)
