"Another week brings more dopeness from the shores of the Mississippi, as TSS proudly presents to you Gotta Be Karim’s full-length album Bullets & Books. The aptly-titled record features the expected combination of brawn and brain . Featured tracks such as 'Hello St. Louis' and 'Early' epitomize Karim’s mentality, a man capable of intimidating bravado and thoughtful subtlety behind the microphone. Housewives will be locking their doors and running for their dictionaries. With production from STL cohorts Black Spade, Vandalyzm, Tech and others, you know the sonic quality’s going to be on lock down. " — smokingsection.com
