keep it!!.......2002-01-18

I have been a head for a long time but, for some reason, I have only just heard of the Mudkids. After feeling Higher I decided that i had to get a hold of Upward so I could check more of their material. So now Ive given Upward a listen and Ive come to the conclusion that DAMN!! these cats are hot! Upward combines the feel of a Quannum project with stylish, sample heavy beats to produce an unbelievably head bobbin, lyrically conscious album. If you dig Latyrx, Blackalicious, Ugly Duckling, or J5 then pick this album up quick like. The Mudkids jam. That's my take. Peace all!

Cutting Edge.......2000-12-03

I have been a hip hop enthusiast since I first heard the Sugar Hill Gang, and in that time, I've only heard three other albums that were as chocked (no pun intended) full of creativity. The Mudkids' voice, Choc, flows fluently, intelligently, and positively through every track, and no two sound even remotely the same. Give credit to Elp-Mass, the DJ and producer. When he goes digging for new samples, he's like the Mudkids' namesake promoter, Indiana Jones - he discovers hip hop's ark of the covenant. The beats, melodies, and rhymes on this album are so original and slamming, it will inspire those who have dismissed the genre as overly violent, drug-induced, materialistic, or ignorant (i.e., Spike Lee's comment that Rapcity is a "minstrel show") to give it a second look. It's that powerful.

amazing.......2000-07-26

this album blew me away. the beats are, to quote my friend, so underground they're subterranean. And the rhymes are ill. Just get this album as soon as possible, please, it is well worth it.

support indy hip hop.......2000-07-17

this album is amazingly dope. you should definently check it out. check their older one too "4 track mind" which is also dope. very fresh beats and lyrics. support indy hip hop.

Is this the best album of 2000?.......2000-06-30

Oh my god! Heads... listen up! This could be the best hip hop album of 2000. I have not heard a more innovative, diverse and fresh collection of music since the first Quest album. This is hot. If you like obscure samples and beat tracks, so hypnotic they make you cry. And mind bending lyrics that flow like plasma you must get this album! These kids have engineered a new era of hip hop. DJ Elp-Mass is the new bonafide king of the artform with this truly magic rendering.
