A very positive review of our album Next Level was posted by Justin Hall over at Monster Closet. In addition to the amazing graphic (left), he had these great things to say about our album:
for two dudes that self-produce all their material, int 80 (vocals) and c64 (beats) have always avoided the fuzzy, cheap, amateur sound that plagues most basement hip-hop. Next Level keeps that tradition alive with production that’s just as professional, clean, and perfectly mixed as anything from the recording industry. the duo’s more in-your-face, confident and brazen than ever – c64’s tracks are all over the map, from the thoughtful (Forever) to the head-nodders (Kick Back), and 80’s rhymes bounce between smirking (Here To Help) and serious (Letter to C64).
there’s a ton to offer all species of nerd – gamers of the tabletop scene will dig Natural 20’s, while Gears fans rejoice in The Hollow as 80 tells the game’s story better than CliffyB did. nerdcore hip hop fans will recognize genre superstars in I Remember and Magnificent Seven. and leet hax0rs will appreciate Kick Back and Life’s Work (which name-drops a couple prominent script kiddies).
Now that any of your previous uncertainty has been discarded, you can feel care-free as you purchase Next Level.
