Prior to listening to this LP, my familiarity with the Maryland-duo, DTMD, which is an acronym that stands for Dunc and Tone Makin' Dollas, as well as a direct play off of 80-90s Hip-Hop duo, EPMD--stems from "The Basics (EP)". Which only consisted of 5 tracks; enough for one to get a feel for what their music has to offer, but minimal enough for one to anticipate more. The release of this LP was necessary. My fondness of their music not only stems from the fact that it's reminiscent of the essence of the old-school, but 'cause of this unspeakable degree of soul. Yes, soul. Listen. Something irresistibly appealing about artists of today whose strife is to keep the very quality of Hip-Hop culture alive. Peace and love to Dunc and Toine . Keep rising.
