With their ful length album Holy Culture set to hit stores later this month, the New Jeru based crew with a fanatical international following have blessed the Hip Hop community with a single that's already creating quite a buzz. That initial offering is Eternal Cypha.

Cross Movementeers The Ambassador, The Tonic, The Phanatik, and T.R.U.-L.I.F.E. put in work on this one y'all! The lyricism is tight. The production is flawless. The instrumentation is knockin. These brothas know how to hold on tight and ride a head noddin' beat for all it's worth. While their sound is clearly their own, you'll detect a lil' bit of comparitive overtones towards New Jeru compatriates Naughty By Nature and Poor Righteous Teachers in the presentation. High praise but praise deservedly earned. Mixtape DJs would be wise to jump on Eternal Cypha and its bouncing freshness. With lines like "I spit bars for the thugs in the cars and the drunks in the bars and the fakes in the choirs" and "the streets are embedded with thiefs with speech impediments who don't believe that that is sin" you know the bottom line is gotta be nutin' but a good thing.

Two enthusiastic thumbs up for Eternal Cypha. I have a feeling that Holy Culture is gonna be more ofthe same Hip Hop hotness. Onward and upward. And if ya don't know, now you know.
