“I like this track. It feels as though Awkword said to his counterparts, ‘Define your version of before’, and each delivered their own interpretation. Awkword opens with a series of current events from the past decade or so, along with a few hints at his own personal hurdles. MarQ Spekt follows with a different approach, detailing more abstract and cerebral concepts surrounding the meaning of “before.” Then T.Shirt chimes in with his life before the music, who he was, what he did, and how he did it. Finally, Kel Spencer takes a historical approach, highlighting the before way before there even was a before. Get the message? Good. Now listen to the song. Awkword’s career is going straight up, so check him and his brethren out now so you can say you knew them all ‘before before’.” – Kathy Iandoli, HipHopDX Music Editor
‘before bandcamp and soundcloud, recorded on wax…’
