"Hyp has created a masterpiece of musical art and literacy. He smoothly and creatively integrates soul-stirring melodies with scholarly social, historical and political works of import. Hyp skillfully moves from the past to the present carrying the listener on a auditory journey through America’s racial minefield while inspiring us to reflect and lose ourselves in the beautiful sounds and spiritual textures embedded in the music.

This eclectic and riveting production is surprisingly unique yet simple and familiar. The music is accessible and moving and the messages charismatic and pleasing. This album has something for everyone! It's beats and rhythms and thoughtful expressions expose life’s experiences while stimulating the heart, mind and body.

The great strength of Hyp is his exceptional ability to synthesize data, and music and to then harmoniously blend the two together into an orchestra of art and truth."
