Heads might know him best as Medaphoar, but from this moment on just call him MED. Now let's get this out of the way; the phrase "rap game" is probably overused as much as "classic", so let's get down to basics. Med is definitely an MC in the truest sense: one who has moving, powerful, humorous, and in-your-face lyrics; and a flow to match.

I'll probably post some kind of response to this whole "Is Bol a white guy?" controversy that was raging all day while I was at work some time tomorrow (i.e. later on today). Also, my bad about reviewing another one of these white groups that only white people know about (at least according to BHTMD), but it actually came down between this and A Healthy Distrust by Sage Francis and I figured this was way blacker.
