| Quote
| - Q-Lo delivers his verses which such profound velocity and passion, it forces you to stand up with fists clenched in the air agreeing with equal force not dissimilar to a powerful sermon. [Q-Lo] presents his candid and brutally honest look on life, while simultaneously proving he has the cred in the streets. He slams the egregious excesses of and its effect on the community, all while touching on the very personal issues of love and self-worth in a truly heart-tugging fashion not yet fully explored in the world of Sierran hip hop.
- [Williams] is unapologetically polarizing, and rightfully can attest to being the messenger of the new generation. He is an intrinsically embedded into the collective consciousness as a common man with a vapid, biting aggression only tamed by his own crushing self-awareness and anxieties. Deluded by the world and tormented by his own inner demons, Williams is Atlas in full rebellion, thrusting the world away in favor of a new order. [Saudade] is so beautifully livid and spontaneous, it's actually carefully crafted by a man of two worlds, naysaying the hypocrites including himself. His own saudade has erupted into a fiery inferno of emotions in the lyrical form.
