Before he released this album in 2004, Die Young had not necessarily been the most remarkable of the Shape Shifters. The guy was regularly shouting his head off like an exalted rock star, but he lacked the charisma of peers like Awol One or Existero, or the uniqueness of Circus. And on his side, despite his position in the very center of the West Coast Underground, thanks to his LA2theBay website, Deeskee had not always been the boldest and the most adventurist beatmaker.
