Let The Children Die may lack the cohesive vision and impact of last year's The Book EP, but what it lacks in focus it certainly makes up for in breadth and scope.

in
By Sarah Kurchak (CHARTattack) May 27, 2008 12:46 pm

With The Book, his first official release, he's finally putting his money where his mouth was all those years ago. The album begins with "...

A lot can be read into D-Sisive's fourth proper album, and not much of it is particularly subtle. D-Sisive appears to have said "Fuck it" on Jonestown 2: Jimmy Go Bye Bye, and the result is an unapologetic bridge-burner of an album that's incredibly real, raw, and completely unapologetic — rare commodities in the rap world these days. As far as...
