Bangin. Fam .I love thoroughness of the production. Jasiri is applying the soldier lean with flows and no profanity. Intelligent. And movin. I feel informed and the beat is dope too. Jasiri is One of the top candidates for the X Clan 2010 tour. I'm checkin out the Debra joint next .Peace - Brother J (X-Clan)


"This is not just CLASSIC Hip Hop, but CLASSIC ACTIVISM! To all students of resistance, this is how you control the terms of the discourse! Never let your opposition dictate the terms of the debate!", "This is by my humble assessment the MOST intelligent move I've seen on this issue yet!" - Wise Intelligent (Poor Righteous Teachers)

"Dear Debra, The letter so many of us want to write but can't find the words to shape it with!", This is probably the very BEST Jasiri X song I've had the pleasure of hearing.. I'm actually a lil jealous!! The beat is sick and his flow and content was FIRE!! - NYOil (UMC's, www.NyOil.com)
