Judging by the cover you're probably asking yourself,"What the hell is this?". I know break albums are infamous for incorporating dumb names, but this one is just plain ridiculous. Dj's Casual T, King SMOP, Nati Kid, Mike B, DQ, Dirty Ru & Haiku, play the culprits to some major scratch absurdity with this one. The entire album is breaks and routines, performed live, by their scratch team and set up track by track. I know it sounds weird, but seriously you wont find this kind of playful turntablism unless you time machined yourself to back to '99-'00. Its almost better just for listening than actual battle or routine use, but there are samples nonetheless. A great record if you missed out on that rare era, where beat junkies, dibbs, and of course the piklz, had the spotlight, and lab didn't have a dance section.
