Some circles in the backpacker scene consider “Closer To God” to be Krumb Snatcha’s breakout hit.

The most salient aspect of the song is that it’s a DJ Premier produced track. This fact will certainly not be lost on any Hip-Hop fan upon first listen. The beat’s made up of that same short and sweet patchwork of samples that made the first few Gang Starr albums instant classics.

However, while the stellar production is almost always what arrests peoples' attention, Krumb Snatcha’s clever wordplay never fails to leave an impression either. Krumb Snatcha’s lyrical dexterity, along with his masterfully spun out picaresque narrative make this song a definite standout on the album.
