DJ Green and EMS come together for the first time with “The Elixer”, released by K-Otic records. The fifteen tracks are laced with impressive scratching from Green, which is most prominent on “Standing on the Ceiling” and “It’s Electro.” Their beats, at times, are reminiscent of Dr. Dre and at other times the Neptunes. More often than not, you will find yourself bobbing your head. The rock infused “Maze” is catchy, and has an almost inspirational feel. The energy in EMS’s voice, matched with his smooth flow and interesting lyrical content keep you more than entertained. The track entitled “I’m Broke” is truly the poor man’s anthem, and the mainstream feel of “Unbreakable” sets the tone for the radio friendly album. A guest appearance by Capaciti fits well with the style of EMS and brings a level of enthusiasm with his unique flow. If there is only one reason to pick up this record, make it for the life that Desdamona brings to the track “Slow Down.” Overall, The Elixer is filled with sick work by DJ Green and engaging lyrical content from EMS, but is not a album I would listen to more than twice.

you basiclly say the record is great and then say you’d only listen to it twice. doesn’t make a whole lot of sense?? i own the record and think it’s a really nice effort, im excited to hear their next project!
How can ya give it a great review, then turn around and say you’d only listen to it once? Kind of a contradiction…
