Drawing comparison to Roots, The, live bands are so few and far between in hip-hop nowadays, that this is a breath of fresh air.  The first chorus of “Just Once” lets the listener know where the crew has come from, and where they want to go.  With their smoothed out style they will keep even the most skeptical hip-hop head entertained with tracks like “The Rules”, which breaks down the industry as we know it today, and the very personal “Sometimes”.  The live band aspect of the album makes up for any shortcomings the emcees might have.  They never hinder a track, but they sometimes seem to lag in comparison to the sensational band backing them up. Other stand out tracks includes the title track, “Spilt Milk” and “All MCs”. 

     The album seems to start dragging with the R&B crooning of the latter half, as well as with the group’s obvious infatuation with the “Good Green”, as only one tribute song about the doujah would have sufficed. All around this is a very solid debut album from an ever improving set of emcees.  One could see the band backing up Sean Carter on the next “Unplugged” session, they’re that good!
