Maybe the artwork -- from comic book artist Rob Prior -- looks like a straight-to-video Wesley Snipes flick, but otherwise, this is top-notch, from the slow credo opener called \"Fate\" (\"What you hold, to slow you down?\" before \"Go improve yourself, what the fuck am I supposed to do?\") to the quest-for-truth closer called \"Axiom\" (\"Waitin' at red lights, sit for the control system\/Heroin addicts smack their arm and go to soul prison\"). The appearances of N9ne, Wrekonize, and Murs make this Strange Music family-filled, but Ces Cru have street appeal past the usual label roster, as Codename: Ego Stripper displays classic EPMD qualities with a bit of that Mobb Deep menace and the political punch of Dead Prez. ~ David Jeffries","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47010327429407,"sku":"853435003586","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/ccbfcb5182fb11b151c543c91c82bb9d.jpg?v=1777799849","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/codename-ego-stripper","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
